re: Push Stix

The point of mine being low profile is for exactly the reason Abbas points out about slight wiggle of the shoe causing loss of control. With a low profile one my hand can grip both the shoe and the fence so no wiggle can happen.
It’s the same safety /control strategy I use on wider cuts where I don’t need a pusher. This may not be for everyone but it illustrates the point of hooking fingers over the fence when cutting.
