See if this Pushblock Tip Floats
Over the years, I've found that most of the pushblocks that come with jointers and shapers provide little grip on the stock.

Over the years, I've found that most of the pushblocks that come with jointers and shapers provide little grip on the stock. Instead, I use a couple of molded sponge-rubber floats, such as Stanley Goldblatt part no. 8438903295 (call 800-262-2161), that seem to hold on to the wood better than ordinary pushblocks. The broad aluminum bases on these masonry tools won't damage a cutter if hit, and they keep my hands well away from the cutters of a jointer or shaper.
