Easy, Repeatable & Precise - Get Perfect Thin Rip Cuts On Your Table Saw & More!

Our Thin Rip Table Saw Guide makes repetitive ripping of thin strips safer, more accurate and faster than before. Since the strips come off of the left side of the saw blade, there is no burning, binding or kickback. Manufactured from a solid piece of aluminum and beautifully finished, the guide locks itself into any 3/4" wide x 3/8" deep miter slot. The built-in scale features a 1/8" graduation for extra-fine adjustments. The ball bearing holds the stock firmly against the fence while it's smooth operation allows effortless feeding.

The Thin Ripping Guide is very easy to use and perfect for your Table Saw, Band Saw and Router Table. Simply set your desired strip thickness, make your cut, reposition the fence so your stock rides against the ball bearing and repeat. You can also position the guide on the right side of the saw blade to make repeated cross cuts using a miter gauge. You'll find many uses for the guide on your bandsaw as well. Instructions included.

Features Include:

  • Designed for use on your Table Saw, Band Saw and Router Table
  • Solid aluminum construction for years of service
  • 6" long scale
  • 1/8" graduated scale for fine adjustments
  • Adjusts from 1-13/16" away from your miter track to 5-13/16" away from your miter track
  • Fits 3/4" x 3/8" miter tracks
  • Smooth action ball bearing for super smooth ripping action

  • Use a Thin Kerf blade to maximize stock yield.
  • Don't use stock which is already narrow

The Thin Rip Guide Adjusts from 1-13/16" away from your miter track to 5-13/16" away from your miter track. So depending on the distance between the miter track and your saw will determine how thin of a cut you can preform.

Yes, the Thin Rip Guide has a xxxx on top that locks both the projection of the guide in relation to the blade as well as the location in the miter slot. We also have a video above in the "Video" tab that shows how the Thin Rip Guide works.

Thin-Rip Guide for Table Saw; Bandsaw & Router Table

Don’t rip thin strips with the narrow side of your stock between the blade and your fence—it’s not very safe and yields poor results even without the risk to life and limb. Instead, use our Thin Rip Guide for fast, safe, and repeatable results without burning the edges of your work.  

Thin Rip Guide (TRG-001)
The Thin Rip guide makes it easy to safely and accurately cut thin strips of material on your table saw.

Cutting thin strips of wood on the table saw can be a scary daunting task. Not only is it hard to maintain accurate even pressure against the fence when pushing a narrow strip of wood past the blade, but there is the possibility of the wood getting bound up between the saw blade and the fence causing kickback. That's why we like our Thin Rip Guide. It helps you safely make repetitive offcuts on the left side of the saw blade.

The Thin Rip Guide is easy to set up and use. Working with any 3/4" x 3/8" miter slot, simply set the jig about 2-3 inches in front of the saw blade.  Using a squared piece of stock, set your fence so that the offcut (the part to the left side of the saw) is the desired width you want.  Next, extend the guide over to the piece of stock so that the bearing on the Thin Rip Guide is touching the wood.  Lock down the guide and rip the piece of lumber. Check the measurement on your piece of wood to make sure it is the desired width.  If not, adjust the Thin Rip Guide accordingly using the built-in scale on the guide.  For each successive cut, simply move your fence over to but the wood to the guide and rip away. Make sure your stock is wide enough to allow you to get out as many strips as you will need.

The ball bearing guide on the thin rip guide also works similarly to a feather board helping you keep your material firmly against the fence while allowing your work to flow freely past it. You can also use the Thin Rip Guide in any of your tools that have a 3/4" x 3/8" miter slot such as your shaper, router table, or bandsaw.

The ball bearing acts similar to a feather board, ensuring your workpiece is firmly pressed against the fence allowing for repeatability when moving the fence.

Re·peata·bili·ty - it's hard to get confirmation that this is an actual word in the English language. Some text editing software throws the red flag when you use it while other software lets you get away with it. What we can tell you for sure is that our Thin Rip Guide lets you accurately make the same thickness of rip cut, time and time again. This, to us, is 'repeatability'.

We would also like to remind you that when using the thin rip guide with the table saw, please always try to use a zero clearance insert, splitter or riving knife, proper push stick or block, and the table saws' safety guard whenever possible.
