Sounds about like mine. I'm surprised, the last time someone mentioned the
inadvisability of the aluminum push stick, there were some who defended it.
The last thing I saw at work today was someone slam a 1 1/4" HSS endmill
into a piece of aluminum. The aluminum is fine (a few dents but not bad) but
the milling cutter shattered. Makes you think.

I make mine out of 1/2" Baltic Birch. They have a handle on top, a finger
on the back end to push the work through and they extend forward about 9"
to
hold the work down.
