The 'Thin Rip Jig' (we really need a catchier name), allows you to safely cut thin pieces of material on your table saw, by allowing you to use the offcut side of your table saw.
By utilising a stop block on your offcut side you can safely cut thin material strips, that would otherwise be too dangerous or difficult on the fence side of your table saw.
Perfect for creating edge banding, or other tasks that require thin material to be cut.
This 3D printed design utilises a simple bolt and nut micro adjustment mechanism like the joinery sled for dialling in the perfect cut.
Included is a print file for standard table saw mitre slots, however you can adapt or make your own if you desire.
IMPORTANT: No hardware included, this is for the digital files only to print your own.
Simple design requires minimal hardware. All 3D printed files are included, as well as a step-by-step assembly guide.
A detailed list of the hardware required is included with the digital files.

All files can be printed using standard PLA or PETG if preferred.
Note that the dial requires a pause in printing, to allow for a single M8 hex nut to be inserted into the print.
Please ensure you understand your slicing software and how to perform pauses in prints.1 x M8 hex head bolt (can be any length, but 70mm - 80mm is recommended. The longer the bolt, the more micro adjustment will be possible).
1 x M8 hex nut.
2 x M8 washers.
6 x M5, 50mm button head bolt (recommend round head, but almost any M5 will work).
6 x M5 hex head nut.
3 x M6 hex head bolts (recommend partial thread, however, not necessary).
3 x M6 washers.
3 x M6 pass through star knobs (this could easily be switched to M6 wing nuts instead).
1 x 6080ZZ bearing (sometimes called 'Skateboard bearing').
