Thin Rip Jig, Make Repetitive Narrow Strip Cuts on Your Tabl

After watching countless YouTube videos on building your own thin rip jig and never getting around to making one, I broke down and bought this one. I am glad I didn't waste my time. This tool is very well built with premium fit and finish, dead simple to use, and much nicer than anything you can make. Rather than a simple stop, it has a bearing as the stop which not only sets the correct depth of the table saw fence, but also helps secure the workpiece tightly against the fence for extra security when cutting thin strips. The other thing I like about it is how easily you set the depth by measuring against the blade, tighten the knob just a little to lock the slider in place, then slide the whole unit toward you in the mitre slot and then tighten it a little more to lock it down before making your cuts. Part of the fun of the woodworking hobby is making cool jigs to solve specific problems, so I get that. But another fun part of the hobby is having premium quality tools that are a pleasure to use and just work with no fiddling around.

This does not fit the DeWalt DWE 7485 jobsite table saw.

This is built very heavy duty. It locks down tight with a twist and fits bot my bandsaw and table saw. Being able to position it before the blade allows me to avoid kickback. Now I can make may repeatable cuts when I need to do a run for projects. Highly recommended!

First, this this is very solidly built and will easily handle the rigors of the average woodshop. It is designed well and couldn't be easier to use. I am a stickler about using push blocks (to include the expensive, adjustable brand), but still have concerns about putting my hands closer to the exposed blade than I am comfortable with. This device makes it so much safer and stabilizes the piece through the cut. It works perfectly for my table saw and also on my router table, but unfortunately does not fit in the tracks for my bandsaw. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be the ability to adjust the the width of the skids to fit different tracks (i.e. spring loaded bearings?). As it is, the tracks can be easily removed and temporarily or permanently replaced with aluminum or hardwood tracks of various sizes, then swapped out as necessary.
