SakerThin Rip Jig Table Saw Jig Guide, Making Repetitive Narrow Strip Cuts, Fit for 3/4" x 3/8" Slots, for Table Saw Band Saw Router Table

I actually rip very consistent 1/4" or larger strips against the fence (quick, easy and and no moving the fence) with no problems like binding or kickback. But I needed to cut some VERY thin and fragile strips that would have been a little more difficult to deal with. This jig seem solid and well built, it's affordable and does what it say it will. I may not use it a lot but it should hold up and work fine when I need it.

I bought this as a gift for my husband, and he absolutely loves it! It’s the perfect tool for making repetitive narrow strip cuts, and it fits perfectly with 3/4" x 3/8" slots on his table saw, band saw, and router table. The quality is excellent, and it’s made his woodworking projects so much easier and more precise. He’s been using it non-stop and is thrilled with how well it works. It’s a great gift for anyone who loves woodworking and wants to improve their cutting accuracy. Highly recommend!

First, a couple of points: (1) the brass thumbscrew which secures the extension slide, (when tightened) protrudes about 0.030” or so below the base, which causes the tool to sit raised up and leaves a nice dent in your table saw top if you get exuberant about tightening the tool to the saw (or whatever machine) table. This tool should not leave the suppliers shop like this. I added a steel washer in addition to the nylon washer under the thumbscrew supplied to cure this. Other reviewers have remarked on this as well. (2) the supplied “track runners” for a 3/4 Tee slot are OK, but just OK, sloppy fit at best.Moving over to bandsaw, Consternation comes about when tried to use this tool on bandsaw, only to find it (the bandsaw) miter guide slot is that silly non-standard 5/8 x 3/8 tee slot. Grrrrrr, why? I was pleased to find the answer for bolts to anchor the tool to bandsaw in that the head on toilet flange bolts fit that track perfectly. Then I find the toilet bolts are 1/4-20, the holes in the tool are drilled for 6mm…sigh…I really didn’t want to drill the tool and wreck that nice red finish. Found some weird washers in junk bin that mimic the “Johnny bolts”, and used the 6mm screws that come with the 3/4 track slot parts, and I can still use those nice knobs that come with the kit. Time to stop and let some air out of my head.Someone posted about the usefulness of the graduated scales on the tool. I too, am at a loss to fully get the utility of these, although nicely done, what are they really useful for? I will have to use this thing for a bit to see if the old “Light dawns over Marblehead”. They went to a lot of effort to put them there, hopefully I will have an ahhh-hah moment.********** edit OK so I put the tool on my bandsaw, and fooled about for a bit. I set the guide bearing up against the blade (as in a zero thickness off cut), then made note of the reading on measurement scale. Then backed off the slide to accommodate an arbitrary desired off it thickness by decrementing that value on the scale. Much easier to accomplish with just setting some block of desired offcut dimension against the blade and bring slider out to just touch the bearing. The things we do after being awake at 2AM and puzzling about it. Dunno, must be bakers dozen ways to do this. One would be doing some trial cuts for setup anyhow. Still like the tool ! **********Love the red finish, and appreciate the fact that there are two bearings to do the job. One star demerit for the thumbscrew issue.

Works great on my bandsaw! took about 5 minutes to set it up. Great piece!

Immediately added to my table saw and it works great. No more issues with keeping material against the rip guide.

This is a great little jig, well-made and very easy to use. As others have said the scales can't be zeroed out, but that is not a big issue. First thing you need to do is zero out the bearing with the blades tooth. Once zeroed out read the marks and adjust to the thickness you want to cut. The Imperial scale lines are 1/16" so if you want 1/4" move the bearing back away from the blade 4/16". Remember to move the jig in front of the blade. I picked about 6". Now put the board you want to 1/4" strips from between the roller bearing and your fence. Move your fence to just touch the wood, lock your fence and you can now rip the 1/4" strip. Once you cut the strip, turn the saw off (Your Call). Take the wood, reposition it between the roller-bearing and the fence, adjust your fence so the wood just touches the roller-bearing and cut, repeat as needed.

Exactly what I wanted/needed to rip thin strips. Does a great job holding the workpiece for an accurate cut. Well constructed little piece of equipment.

Haven’t had a chance to use it yet but, it looks very well made with easy to read scales and alignment marks!
