  • Patent number: 7146890
    Abstract: A hand held pushing tool for use with cutting and abrasive tools is formed as a planar disk. The disk has a first side surface, a second side surface, a first predetermined thickness and an outer peripheral edge. The outer peripheral edge has at least one notch. The notch extends from the first side surface to the second side surface and is located orthogonally to the outer peripheral edge. The notch has a depth less than a thickness of a work piece. When the notch engages the work piece, the pushing tool will safely guide the work piece into and through the cutting or abrasive tool. The pushing tool is shaped as an octagon having a plurality of varying size notches about its outer peripheral edge. The tool may be inverted to use the notch to hook the work piece and draw it back past the cutting or abrasive tool.
