iGaging Thin Rip Jig – 36-JIG8

iGaging Thin Rip Jig – 36-JIG8

The Thin Rip Jig from iGaging is easy to use, featuring a strong grip knob that securely locks it into a 3/4″ miter track. Its laser etched scale, with 1/16″ and 1mm graduations, enables precise adjustments. The metal roller bearing guide ensures your work piece stays firmly against the fence and serves as a stop for consistent, repeatable cuts. Simply cut a strip, reposition the saw fence to align the stock with the ball bearing, and then cut the next thin strip.

Features:

• CNC metal body
• Metal roller bearing
• Strong Grip lock
• For 3/4″ miter slot
• 8″/200 mm travel capacity
• Accuracy: 0.0015″
• Anodized aluminum body
• Laser-engraved inch & metric scales
• Fine Adjust Reference Pointer
• M2 Hex included

Safety:

For safest operation your table saw must be equipped with the following:

1. Zero-clearance insert
2. Splitter or riving knife
3. Blade guard

Setup and Use:

1. Position the metal roller bearing against the saw blade and align the Reference Pointer to zero by adjusting it to the left or right.
2. Once aligned, set the desired measurement on the scale and lock it in place with the knob, preparing the jig for an accurate cut.
3. Re-adjust the fence so the off-cut will be against the metal roller bearing and lock the fence.
4. Make a test cut, check the thickness of the cutoff and adjust if necessary, using the scale.
5. For each successive cut, unlock the fence and slide it over until the stock contacts the bearing, lock the fence, and make the cut.

Other Uses:

1. On the table saw, the jig can be positioned in the right-hand miter slot, a few inches in front of the blade, and used to make repeated short cutoffs using the miter gauge.
2. On the bandsaw, the jig can be used in the miter slot as a single-point fence to help guide stock when making multiple curved cuts.
