Back in 2019, I created this thin strip jig as a way to cut thinner stock in a repeatable fashion. Thin strips might not seem desirable until you need one. A thin strip must be, like all wood that we mill, the same thickness throughout. If we’re using several thin strips, it should go without saying that we want all of those thicknesses to be the same.
I had seen others create this jig but didn’t like their designs as they seemed clunky and cumbersome. The idea of a hinge and spring…’sprung’ to mind as it would pivot the arm away from the face of the table saw allowing me to cut the thin strip unobstructed.
Of course, it took me 3 years later to make these plans, but I’m really happy with the way they came out. I’ve included the original video but it’s hardly as beneficial as the instructional video that I created below. Enjoy!
