MicroJig expands school donation program

MicroJig has announced an expansion of its school donation program to include U.S. public middle school woodshop programs.

This move comes after the company's successful initiative to donate GRR-RIPPERs, its flagship product, to every public high school woodshop class in the country. Now, MICROJIG plans to equip every middle school woodshop program with its new product, the GRR-RIPPER 2GO.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring our new GRR-RIPPER 2GO technology to the newest entrants to the craft and learning the fundamentals of working with wood and creating with their hands,” CEO Bruce Wang said in a statement. “We're grateful these young learners are expressing interest and we hope to provide a safe foundation for a fruitful journey with wood."

The GRR-RIPPER 2GO, introduced in February, is designed to allow users to cut thin pieces safely and accurately with no bare-hand feeding. It provides enhanced safety and control on table saws, router tables, band saws, and jointers.
