Thin Strip Cutting Jig for T.S.

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I need to make a lot of thin strips soon and I got tired of using my primitive set ups for cutting them on the table saw and decided to make a real jig. I used whatever scraps I had and turned the knob. I put some quick reference marks on the side but I'll check anyway to make sure it's the right thickness. Pic 5 shows the last piece less than 1/32nd.
I used a old ball bearing from the bandsaw so it glides smoothly. I've seen others use it and it's a great idea. I also got to use my MCLS wood threader again, boy I love those threaders for threading wood. I used it for the bottom glide for the miter slot and for the knob with some epoxy. No need for threaded inserts. Very simple to make. Why did I wait so long.
Finished with OB's shine juice and waxed. I don't know how many of you guys out there have one but if you don't you should think about making one.
I hope this helps out some of you jocks.
Thanks for looking.
