Has anyone used a Gripper on a table saw? Opinions? Peachtree has them for
$42 (regularly $70). If they work, it's a pretty good deal.

They also have a good deal on "Board Mates" (a "Board Buddy" rip-off, I
suppose).


You probably won't want to take the advice of a "maroon", but I'll chime in
anyway. They *absolutely* work and are _worth_every_penny_, especially at that
price. As others have said GET TWO; you won't be sorry. And be sure the model
you get has the "balance support" attachment; that's one of the handiest damn
things I've ever used (I think that attachment comes with the base model, but
I'd check to be sure).


I guess I'll have to do some more research to see exactly what this package
is. It's billed as the "Gripper 200 Advanced Model". Perhaps I'll order a
couple (after checking eBay, too). Thanks, all!
