AUKTools Thin Rip Jig

From delicate fretwork to inlaid cutting boards, a variety of projects require thin strips of wood that are a consistent, accurate dimension. Trying to make those thin strips between your table saw blade and your fence can cause kickback, binding and burning. 

The AUKTools Thin Rip Jig provides an accurate datum on the offcut side of the blade that allows the user to create same-sized strips repeatedly, all you need to do is move your fence closer to the blade as you cut each time.

Setting up the Thin Rip Jig is easy to do. Just slide the guide into your saw’s mitre/T-slot and lock it between 50mm-75mm in front of the saw blade. You can set the width of cut using setup blocks or set the dimension you want on the laser-engraved scale, lock your fence so your stock is just touching the bearings and make the cut. Repeat as often as needed by moving your fence each time so your stock references the bearing.

The Thin Rip Jig is designed to work with most saws from portable jobsite saws up to the largest cabinet saws. The jig fits mitre slots that are 3/4" x 3/8" (19.1mm x 9.5mm) with a T-slot, but it will also fit if the saw has a T-Track for a 11mm wide T-Bolt with alternative supplied hardware.

The Thin Rip Jig is made from CNC machined aluminium. The scales are in millimetres and are laser engraved on the red anodised aluminium body.
