Thin Rip Tablesaw Jig

This jig allows you to rip thin strips on the left side of the blade, eliminating the danger of pushing narrow strips between the saw and fence. Since the strip is not trapped between the blade and fence, there is also less risk of binding and kickback. It’s simple to use; a single knob locks the jig into the miter track and locks your setting at the same time. Ball bearing guide keeps your workpiece firmly against the fence for perfect repeatability. Use the graduated scale to fine-tune for extremely thin strips.

Note: Ripping thin strips requires the use of a zero-clearance insert. Guard and splitter were removed here for illustration purposes only.

The perfect tool for edging, inlay, bent laminations and more. Solid phenolic for durability. Low-profile miter track clamp locks in at any point along the miter track. Also works great on the bandsaw as a single-point fence for cutting curved slats in multiples. Adjusts from 1-3/8" away from your miter track to 5-11/16" away from your miter track, enough for the thinnest rips on any table saw. Measures 5-1/4"W x 8"L. The jig is stationary, while the fence is moved for each cut.

1) Submitted by Tim Usiatynski, from Minoa, NY on 10/13/2009 Customer Rating: Product works exactly as advertised.Being able to quickly set up for thin strip ripping means a lot to me,as workshop time is very limited.

2) Submitted by Alan SMith, from Miami, FL on 9/28/2009 Customer Rating: A really nice tool to have. Used it for first time this past weekend and it did exactly what it was designed and expected to do. Buying makes more sense than building one to me.

3) Submitted by Mike Gager, from Topeka, KS on 9/4/2009 Customer Rating: I really like this jig. Its well built with nice materials. A jig to perform this procedure would surely be very easy to make out of scraps but for [price] it's definitely worth it.

4) Submitted by Al Miller, from Palm Coast, FL on 8/30/2009 Customer Rating: This is a great product. I dont understand how Rockler can sell it at such a low price. Quality construction, easy to use. I use it to cut strips from 1/8" to 1/4" for inlays --- works great.

5) Submitted by Andy Pensavalle, from Bullhead City, AR on 10/14/2009 Customer Rating: Problem if trying to rip long boards but generally pretty good item. Requires moving the fence for each cut. Outside of the possibility of binding and kickback, I prefer ripping using the blade to fence method. A good featherboard and sacrificial push stick makes for faster work in my opinion. Good product though. Leave it to Rockler to come up with another good one.

6) Submitted by John W. Carbone, from West Newbury, MA on 6/29/2009 Customer Rating: Used it to rip 1/4 inch strips and it worked flawlessly. It increases safety when cutting thin strips and the graduations make it easy to get an exact thickness.

7) Submitted by Bill Nickerson, from Taft, CA on 6/8/2009 Customer Rating: As always, the new Rockler Thin Rip Tablesaw Jig work's as good as it gets. My wife likes it, because I will keep all my fingers for future thin cuts. My use is for inlay work on jewlery box's and other fine box's. Keep up the good work as always, I am a customer for life.
