This is a fantastic thin strip jig! As you can see, the jig is at ‘zero’ when the bearing touches the blade. To cut a strip, place the jig in the miter slot in front of the blade, loosen the T-knob, set the thickness and then re-tighten the T-knob. All you have to do is to move the stock to the bearing and lock down the fence. You do not have to do any more measuring for additional strips from the same stock. I can get a maximum strip of 1 & 7/8”. I prefer this method since the thin strip is not wedged between the blade and the fence. I believe I got this from Wood Magazine.

Have one as well. Love this thing, however I saw one in a magazine that was on hinges that one you set the fence you flipped the bearing half out of the way until the next cut. Nice job.
