Pretty slick and I like how you got around not having a miter slot on your saw with those dowels.

[@scott8440]

Awesome tool. Thanks for making & sharing :)

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

scott franks Thank you Scott for the kind comment

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

John Heisz Thank you John, not exactly rocket science, but figured it could be an interesting project. The dowels work great for fastening. I put t nuts on the undrside, so i can put bolts in the holes to hold down feather boards and other acc.

[@MichaelOlsen-Engineer]

Brilliant use of the dowels Bellevue Woodshop! It may not be rockest science, but it is definitely an ingenious idea all the same.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Michael Olsen Thank you Michael for the kind comment

[@btparker08]

I really like this jig. As someone who is new to woodworking the idea of getting consistent cuts on the left of the blade was a really hard process to repeat and your jig solves this issue. Excellent video as always!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Benjamin Parker Thank you Benjaming, Glad you found it usefull and inspiring.

[@HBSuccess]

Honestly, if you're using square stock to begin with - you can safely cut thin strips between fence and blade if you start with stock that is long enough to "flip" end for end without getting close to the blade. 3' or so is ideal. Cut to the halfway point, then lift the stock off the blade, flip it end-for-end, and then finish the cut from the other end. You hold on to the strip the whole time so there's relatively no chance of anything "kicking". The only "pro" I've ever seen do this is the old guy here on KZbin - Bob Chase . But it's also how I was taught. No jigs, no outfeed table, no gopher catching the off-cut required and you're in total control of both the 'save' and the 'offcut' at all times. FWIW I also make all manner of square rips this way - any width, and any length stock as long as it clears the ceiling when "flipping".

[@twoblacklabs]

Christopher Walken does woodworking? Nice video and design.

Great jig, I will definitely build one when my new workshop is finished. Thanks.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Will Ford Thank you Will, its a fun build

[@dblcreates1624]

Awesome jig that adds a lot of safety to a tricky cut.

[@woodknocker64]

Absolutely BRILLIANT...We've been making lamp shades out of pine burls...Ripping on the fence side....This would be a great a safer way....Thanks for the video

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

woodknocker64 Glad you liked it, and hope you get a lot of good use out of it. Thanks for the kind comment and for watching

[@leonardnoel888]

Very well done. Congrats. Just perfect.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Love it. Just made one, but changed the design a little so that the gauge did not give negative readings. No functional advantage of course, but the negative numbers would drive me nuts : )

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Glad you liked it

[@krishnamurthybalan4974]

Your creativity is too good, thanks for your video.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Krishnamurthy Balan Thanks for the kind words, it is much appreciated

[@BackyardWoodworking]

Nice close to my thin rip jig I just didn't add the digital gauge. Stick on tape measure works good also. Good job. Thanks.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Backyard Woodworking Thank you Sir, yours is just as accurate, and great . The DRO just adds a cool factor. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@mohankrishnasamy1456]

Have a great day 🙌

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Same to you👍😄

[@BobBlarneystone]

Good idea there. The jig makes the job much safer and produces better results. Not everybody knows that thin strips should not be cut on the fence-side of the blade, or some people get lazy and do it anyway until the day that strip is thrown back like a spear. Here's a small suggestion that probably isn't needed for this smaller jig: Instead of using ordinary washers under a wingnut, try using the 1/4" thick square washers made for Unistrut steel channel. They'll work much better, especially on a load-bearing jig.

[@christopherkingsland4604]

I put a small cabinet cylindrical bearing in the point of the slider for easier movement

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Sounds interesting. i am not familiar with these, Do you have a link you could provide with an image of one. Thanks for watching and commenting Greg

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks for the kind feedback

[@TheGizmo47]

hi again thanks for your reply about what the screw in the front was for just need to know what size bearing you used i hae purchased your plan for this jig and i don't see any reference to the size of the bearing or is it not that important as you would be zeroing the jig

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Trevor Deeks You are correct Trevor, it really does not matter what size it is, as long as the inner diameter of the bearing matches the bolt

[@timfischer]

Cool video and build. I swear by my Grripper though, works very well.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks Tim, a gripper works great as well. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@woodensurfer]

I tend to think a design that does not require moving the fence and hitting a certain jig is better. Each time you move a large fence and bumping it against a jig won't there be recoil and uncertainty? How accurate is this? How repeatable?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Of course one has to be moderate in the slamming of the fence, but as long as the jig is fixed to the mitre slot or dowels like in my case, it is not that problematic. you cannot overturn the threads on the adjustment bolt. It is more that accurate enough for what I do, but I have not checked its repeatability

[@JMTosses]

Very well done. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheGizmo47]

hat is the screw on the front for you have'nt stated what it's for this aside it's a brilliant idea

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Trevor Deeks Thanks Trevor. The wingnut in the front is to lock it in position. And the screw in the front holds the bearing that rides along the workpiece

[@muratkasymbekov5922]

Замечательные самоделки

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Murat Kasymbekov Большое спасибо Murat

[@jimchallender4616]

Great idea. Did you design this - If so, you're a genius and should do this professionally. Harbor Freight has a .001" accuracy Caliper Gauge on sale for about $10. I'll pick up an extra next time I'm there.

[@DEeMONsworld]

you have a nice band saw, just set the blade drift and rip with that, save you a lot of trouble and a lot safer.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

That could also be done, but I cannot get control over the drift on this saw, not even with a wide blade, and after hours of tuning. But I wish I could, as there would be a lot less waste on expensive exotic woods

[@DEeMONsworld]

not to detract from your method, it is relatively safe and if you have a table saw an elegant solution, but any band saw can have its' fence set for drift. It involves proper tensioning of the blade (thin or wide), about a D on the music scale if you pluck it, (no joke), and blade guide adjustment. Just run a pc. of sheet or stock free hand to a parallel pencil line scribed on the wood. one you have observed and adjusted the feed to the line IE "drift", stop the saw and adjust your fence to the edge of the wood. should be a one time per blade adjustment, but if you resaw thick pcs you may have to fine tune to the stock. We used band saws to accurately cut 3/4" 4x8 sheets of plywood ( large 36" saw) to re-sawing 4-5"" stock on a small Delta 14" saw. The result of a band saw blade however is not as smooth as a carbide tipped circular blade. Most of the time running through a surface planer would be required in either case. try using a skip tooth band saw blade they clear sawdust more efficiently which can interfere with your cut.

[@barretthageman3350]

I really like this jig. I purchased the plans but there is a problem with the download. It downloads a 3kb .htm file no matter which browser I use. I've sent you an email.

[@steveschmor8674]

If you have a router why don't you make your own mitre slots?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Steve Schmor As I have a sliding table on my tablesaw, I really dont have a need for a miterslot, since I do not have the need for a crosscut sled.

[@steveschmor8674]

Ah I see I thought there was a reason. It is a nice little tool.

[@sigguy1361]

Plus that unit isn't meant to slide, just sit in one spot

[@timmermankoos]

Het probleem is dat zijn spouwmes te dun is.Als het spouwmes goed is dan kan het hout nooit terugschieten.

[@AffordBindEquipment]

After over 40 years as a cabinetmaker, that last time I needed to measure in thousands of an inch was never. I can see the gage useful for getting it close but every saw blade cuts differently, some leave more on the inside and some more on the outside. So the thickness needs to be checked AFTER it's cut to make sure you are getting what you need. Granted that you get better strips by cutting to the outside than inside, but measure to make sure it's what you want. Also, I have been using throw away push sticks made from 1/4" fir 3 ply plywood all these years. need to cut a 1/8" strip? just run the push stick through the blade with the strip. fancy push sticks aren't necessary, especially the ones you buy...they are a ripoff.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks for watching and commenting. The digital gauge is not meant for setting the width, because as you say all setups and blades are different. It is only meant for making the correct adjustments after the first cut is made. Make a rough adjustment with a measuring device., measure using a dial caliper, and then make the adjustment, and Voila, the desired width is on the finished piece.

[@tobiasescher5760]

super videos

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you Tobias

[@petemiller519]

Sorry, but that is too complicated. Three easy ways to do this : 1) Flip the cut piece half way through. 2) Make your own push sticks and run the push stick through the blade. 3) Make a long strip of your thickness cut, and cut it up into multiple lengths equaling your fence length. Run a piece through, add one of the sticks between the fence and blade, run your piece through, add another stick between the fence and blade and keep cutting and adding sticks between the fence and blade. I find the simpler methods give the best results. My favorite is the 2nd method because it does not leave tooth marks on the piece. Cheers.
