Everytime i cut thin strips on the table saw, a feel a bit uncomfortable. Because of the small space between the blade and the fence, it's not easy to guide the wood piece thru the saw. So i came up with this Thin Strip Jig. My Thin Strip Jig is different to all the other jig's out there. I wanted that the jig guides the to cut piece thru the whole process. So i made my jig with a hold down feature. It is awesome how easy this jig is in use and incredible how repeatable the thin strips are. I hope you like my solution to this problem.
Let me know in the comment what do you think about it.

This is the only "thin strip jig" I've seen that does not require re-positioning the ripping fence for each successive cut--which makes it more accurate and precise. Craftsmanship is easy. Simple and elegant ideas are hard to find.

@ISIMPLYBUILTIT 4 года назад

Thank you so much.

@kakman1958 3 года назад

Easily the best thin strip jig I've seen - the ability to press down to control the strip is brilliant. Looks like I have another jig to make.

@justinwnichols03 2 месяца назад

I'm so glad i stumbled across this! I've had some endgrain serving boards that need some cool curves but couldn't find a jig where you didn't have to move the fence everytime to make strips🎉🎉

@MelbourneAlan 5 лет назад

nice jig. one thing that would annoy me is when you lift it the hindge opens all the way . i would drill a hole in the top part and drive a kreg screw into the bottom part but leave it loose so you can still lift the top section 3-4mm but after that the screw stops it opening more

@ISIMPLYBUILTIT 5 лет назад

Thanks. That‘s a really good idea.

@4n2earth22 4 года назад

Yep, and add a spring so it will open automatically each time you let pressure go on the handle, ready to release and reload! Excellent jig.

@joe1871 3 года назад

Hello ISBI, I have been searching for something like this for quite a while. You have earned a "Subscribe" from me - and I don't give out many of those! Any chance you have plans for this jig? I would really like to have something I could print and take to the shop. Great idea and execution. I will be making one asap.

@CaseAgainstFaith1 4 года назад

The only downside is that you can only cut relatively short strips with it. The more conventional design where you set a fence behind the blade opposite the main fence allows you to cut longer strips, though you have to move the main fence every strip.

@chandracoomaraswamy3272 2 года назад

Fix the jig firmly at the middle of the fence, centred alongside the blade. You could slide longer lengths in through the jig's guide. The wood would still be held down firmly on three sides (including from above) at the point where the blades is cutting. This preserves the full accuracy and cleanness of cut. It allows much longer strips to be cut accurately.

Hey mate, been really loving all of your work especially how precise you are which is rare. I am stuck with a question and hoping you can help me, I recently purchased an air compressor and the instructions say to empty the tank at the end of each day but that inconvenient. Do you leave the tank with air so its ready when you need it? Anyways thanks much and looking forward to the next video!

@MacheteBushcraftAustralia 4 года назад

I would say that has more to do with the company protecting themselves from potential litigation (as well as safety). It's fairly difficult for someone to hurt themselves with compressed air if the tank is empty ;) I never release the pressure from my compressors. It slowly dumps the compressed air over a few day anyway. It's good practice to regularly purge the water out of the tanks and work the pressure release safety valves briefly. I would get into the habit of switching the compressor off at the end of the day though. If you're purging the whole tank, by default you would be switching them off before you do that. I often forget so I have an electronic timer with a manual override switch. I also have a valve that separates the copper lines and compressor from the plastic lines around the workshop.

@tonkatoy200 4 года назад

Compressed air produces a fair bit of moisture that builds up in the tank, this is the main reason they suggest the frequent purge. It will eventually rust your tank inside out. I wouldn't worry too much about every day, unless you bought cheap as chips compressor

@rwind656 4 года назад

I saw a product once, made or marketed in Canada, that was a moisture-protective oil for the air compressor tank. I am thinking it might have been in fine homebuilding magazine. At the time I was going to order it but difficulties arose. I think it was Christmastime or something that I totally forgot about it. We don't purge our air compressor tanks often, and they go through periods of disuse depending on projects. Anyone know about this type of product?

@MarkThomas123 Год назад

ISBI.. How does flipping the MDF over help with making thinner strips? I can't see it makes any difference... The MDF strip is the same thickness on both ends, and, it is still mounted against the flat edge of the plywood with three studs. I can't see what in the design makes flipping the MDF strip over allow you to cut thinner strips... ANYONE ELSE SEE IT? I have watched the video 3 times.. The plywood appears to be cut at 90 degrees and the studs mounted in it. Flipping would make no difference here. The MDF is the same thickness, so, why would flipping make any difference? Nothing else changes??? Hmmm... The only think I can see is,, the bolt slots on the MDF are offset (closer to the edge on one side than they are on the other).. So, maybe he knows when ripping, he is going to loose the edge when thin ripping less than the width of the MDF, so, uses that edge as sacrificial, but, seems to suggest in the video, that might not be the problem, but, the MDF is 3mm, the first strips were 3.62mm thick, the last 1.xx mm. so, must be that he uses one side of the MDF as sacrificial..

Outstanding! At first, I thought this jig was a bit of overkill when I had to cut a bunch of strips for some slatted shelves. Decided to go ahead and build it anyhow. Sure glad I did. Easy to build from scraps lying around and it enabled me to cut hundreds of strips very quickly, very safely, and very uniformely - I decided to make all my closet shelves slatted. The only drawback is that it enables me to wear out my saw blade twice as fast ;-)

@randycosgrove3608 Год назад

Seems like it would cut 1/8" ( 3 mm ) strips that were only 12" ( 30 mm ) or so long. Any thinner and the strips look like that they would either fall into your throat plate gap or the blade would cut the hold down apart. For my use it would have to be able to cut strips up to 3" long ( I work in Imperial, I'm giving up on converting to metric here ) that would be 1/64" to 1/32". Useful for inlay stringing.

@danieldibiaso9342 4 года назад

@Joesmith-fu4ps 3 года назад

Every thin strip I have seen isn't worth a damn for long stock. Doesn't any build anything bigger than a shoebox? For 50 years I made thin strips, cutting them between the fence and saw blade. It handles any length I need.

If you make an adjustment on the back corner that's against the fence (in order to skew the jig slightly) it can also make door shims :)

@kenwood7395 3 года назад

A very nice solution to the problem of cutting thin strips. I am in the process of building it, and I've made some small modifications. I'm using threaded inserts with knurled knobs instead of cut-off screws and wingnuts. Also, when cutting very thin strips that would cut into the hold-down I screw in a nut between the hold-down and the base, which moves the hold-down away from the blade so it does not get cut. Thanks again for a very nice jig!

@@ISIMPLYBUILTIT No you don't. Basic concept, nicely and simply executed, scrap bin build. Basic standard material sheet good thickness. Video and the use of the stop button gives plenty enough detail. Those who want plans are the type that want everything handed to them, intellectual laziness in the extreme. Don't waste time catering to the types and carry on with the next project. Don't get caught up with these types. If they have to have plans to execute such a basic concept with standard materials then they should not be allowed to handle the simplest of power tools. If they have to ask then it is most probable they will never build the jig anyway and you have wasted your efforts.

This is brilliant. I am making one. It appears to make strips that are exactly the same thickness, never achieved by moving the fence. I am planning to use a strip of hard plastic as a hold down that will be thinner than the MDF and more durable. I should allow fairly thin strips to be made. Also any one doing this should make a zero clearance insert.

@ISIMPLYBUILTIT 4 года назад

@tubafireguyy Год назад

Do you sell plans for this?

@MrBonners 4 года назад

After further reviewing. Why the plate on the end above the tab hook? 6:42. Why the hinged plate dropping down and lifted unseen over a moving blade? A block of square scrap with a plywood heel/hook screwed to the end will do the same, no hinge required. The MDF only servers to damp out any flutter of the strip passing the blade. Beyond that it will do nothing for you, it is to weak. Better to have a 3/8-1/2 inch thick strip that you can loose mount and lightly push down on with your right thumb and get the feel feedback and still stabilizing the strip. If you want to set the MDF strip then just put the ruler/shim on top of the stock and set. Again no hinge action required. Your concern of blade cutting $0.10 of MDF sacrificial material is weird. You don't want the blade to touch the MDF then stack washer it out. It is all scrap bin material build and built when needed and when the project it done it is still scrap. You over engineer the solution.

@ISIMPLYBUILTIT 4 года назад

For me it works perfect just as it is. The plate on the end is to compensate play within the hinge. The MDF holds the workpiece in place while the heel at the back pushes it thru. If i want to cut a small piece into strips, it feels safer if no part of my hand comes near the blade.

@MrBonners 4 года назад

@@ISIMPLYBUILTIT not a question that it works. it is question of the design features that are not required or do nothing to assist. e.g. what is the purpose of the piece of plywood on the end of the block (not meaning the hook). The hold down does nothing for repeatability accuracy and is to flimsy to contain anything should the workpiece become jammed a kick back. The saw is strong enough to instantly and catastrophically destroy the part and hold down in an instant (projectiles). The needless over-engineering and un-nesscceary parts is contrary to the name of your YT channel.

Nice jig. Great for cutting model house building lumber. One can opt for a 1:25.4 where 1 inch is 25.4mm. In real life a 2mm by 4mm cut can represent a 2x4. The gauge isn't exact, but it's roughly a 25:1 model. OR make a 1/16" thick board representative of a 1 inch thick board. 2/16 x 4/16 (1/8 by 1/4" cut) to represent a 2x4. Small pieces like that can also be useful making inlay. But if I want to make a veneer plywood edge band 1/8" thick I'd need a bigger jig. Or make fence adjustments every time. I'd NEVER try and cut 1/8" between the saw and fence. Just not wise.
