Expandable Push Shoe
SKU: EXPS1
The Most Adjustable Push Shoe Ever Made
The all-new Expandable Push Shoe from Bow Products gives you more control, comfort, and safety in your shop.
It starts at 1¾” wide and expands all the way to 6″ with a single knob turn—locking firmly in place at any width.
That means you can handle everything from narrow rips to wide boards without switching tools.
Work faster, stay safer, and keep your focus on the cut.
Developed in collaboration with professional woodworker and inventor Izzy Swan.
The tall, angled handle keeps your hand above the surface and well away from the blade.
Your push motion feels smoother and more natural—and the soft overmold grip holds firm even in a warm shop or on a job site,
helping reduce hand fatigue during longer sessions.
On the back, three independent locking push fins let you control both the keeper side and the waste side of your cut simultaneously—so your material feeds straight without binding or drifting.
The adjustable side support guide drops right to your table surface and locks in place, while the TPR non-slip base grips your workpiece from start to finish.
Less chatter. More precise cuts. Safer workflow.
Quick to adjust, easy to lock, and built for the way real woodworkers actually work.

Why Choose an Adjustable Push Shoe?
Traditional push blocks are fixed in size, which can limit stability and control when working with narrow or variable-width material.
The Bow Expandable Push Shoe adjusts instantly from 2″ to 6″ wide, so you can match the tool to the workpiece for better grip,
smoother feeds, and more confident control.
Ready to use right out of the box, it helps you work faster without stopping to swap tools or improvise with the wrong size push block.
