Here it is folks…... the one you’ve all been waiting for…..... Just kidding. I’ve been putting off making this jig for a while and the time came when I needed it, so I made it. I have made some modifications to the jig since I took these photos. To begin with, I moved the knob to the other side…. (duh) and I replaced the piece that holds the stock down with something a bit larger.

NOTE TO SELF:........ When using small stock ripping jig….. install zero clearance insert on table saw….. BAMM! I never did find that piece of wood. But I was standing to the side so I was able to avoid it…. It’s all about learning.

Thanks for sharing Junior. What about a blog on how you did it & how it works?.

Nice jig. I know exactly what you mean about the zero-clearance insert.

Hey JJ, Nice jig.

Yup, that small strip can fall into a normal insert. And it can lift off and become airborne. A simple splitter is highly recommended behind the blade. I try to always clamp another block (not as tight as a feather board) at the back of the fence to keep the strip from lifting.

I’ve been procrastinating on making something like this and I really should just do it. I’ve been using push sticks with the small stuff and scaring myself half to death every time.

Thanks for sharing.

Junior,

Have you thought about having the offcut fall away from the blade rather than being trapped between the blade and the fence? Several other jocks have posted jigs that help to accomplish this with safety and repeatablity.

Here is Blake's jig
and David's jig.

Yes Douglas I see what you’re saying. This isn’t the safest way to cut wood. I was using this jig to rip stuff I already had laying around. I don’t plan on using it too often…. just when I have to. Even with this jig, it’s not good to have the blade that close to the fence. Thanks for the links…... Safety First.

Well done. I have a variation of this, but your’s looks a bit more functional. Mine rides the fence, but lacks the slot for adjusting. I will definitely make your push block arm when mine gets chewed up.
