Milescraft GrabberPRO Replacement Heels

This a a not so exciting quick 10 minute project to make replacement heels for a Milescraft GrabberPRO Push Block.

The GrabberPRO is a Push block for Table Saws (among other tools) to increase safety and help reducer kickback when cutting.

It allows you to maintain contact on both sides of the cut while passing over the blade of the saw. The rear adjustable heel plate and help push the work while cutting but is sacrificial in the process. There not expensive at $10 for a 5 pack but when you have a 3D printer…

The design took less than 10 minutes to duplicate in CAD.  There were a few of these already online but I didn’t find one with the recesses on the rear for the o-rings on the bolts.

Here is the printed version. It probably took 30 minutes and I printed it with 3 top layers, 2 Bottom, 5 outlines, with 15% infill.  This allowed them to be stiff but not solid except around were the screws clamp it in place.

Here you can see the recesses like on the original one that make room for the o-rings. The o-rings keep the bolts in place when it’s removed so you don’t have to worry about loosing the thumb screws.

Here it is compared to the original version…

…and here it is mounted to the push block.  I’ll test it out once I finish off the original one.
