Abstract
A transparent safety device and pushing tool with an adjustable and reversible shoe member for depth and angle used to push, hold down, and guide work pieces through or over cutting devices. The adjustable and reversible shoe member can be removed and reassembled for use by either a right or left handed user, while keeping the user's hands, extremities, and clothing up and away in a much safer position with respect to the cutting device. The safety device and pushing tool has an elongated slot in the main member's lower front section that allows the main member to be rotated to the rear while still allowing the shoe member to remain flat on the rip fence, straight edge or guide bar at all times while being used. Also, should the tool receive minimal damage, it could be repaired by the user, eliminating constant replacement costs.
