The Thin Rip Jig is an essential tool for woodworkers who need to make precise, repetitive narrow strip cuts on their table saws. Designed to fit standard 3/4in x 3/8in miter slots, this jig simplifies the process of cutting strips that are 2 inches or less in width. Traditional methods can be tricky and unsafe, but with the Thin Rip Jig, you can achieve consistent results without risking your fingers near the blade.
Setting up the Thin Rip Jig is straightforward. First, unplug your saw and measure from the outside of the blade to the guide roller of the jig for the desired width. Once you have your measurement, secure the jig in place by rotating the large, easy-to-grip star-shaped knob. This feature ensures that your jig remains stable during operation, allowing you to focus on making accurate cuts.
One of the standout features of the Thin Rip Jig is its ability to hold your stock securely without applying unnecessary pressure. Unlike traditional feather boards, this jig does not exert spring-like force against the board, making it easier to achieve precise cuts. After your first cut, simply reset your stock behind the blade and adjust the fence to touch the guide roller on the jig. Lock the fence in place, and you're ready to make your next cut.
The roller guide bearing at the tip of the Thin Rip Jig enhances the feeding process, allowing your stock to glide smoothly through the saw. Made from high-quality materials, this free-rotating bearing is built for extended use in any workshop environment. The solid aluminum body of the jig is not only durable but also adjustable, accommodating various stock widths with ease.
Versatility is another key advantage of the Thin Rip Jig. It can be used not only on table saws but also on router tables and band saws for re-saw applications. For larger or longer stock, using two jigs behind the blade can provide extra stability, ensuring a safe and efficient cutting experience.
In summary, the Thin Rip Jig is a must-have for anyone looking to make narrow strip cuts safely and accurately. Its user-friendly design, combined with its robust construction, makes it an invaluable addition to any woodworker's toolkit. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a hobbyist, this jig will help you achieve the precision you need for your projects.
