kurtvd19 Posted June 10, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 10, 2022 THE NRG THIN STRIP SAW JIG The Thin Strip Saw Jig shown in our December 2021 Virtual Workshop on Table Saw Use & Safety by Kurt Van Dahm is now available for purchase. This jig is usable on the Byrnes and Preac saws as well as any small table saw with a 1/2-inch-wide miter slot that is at least 1/8-inch-deep. EASY TO USE WHILE INCREASING SAFETY AND SAVING TIME The jig is designed to make cutting identical strips from a sheet of wood. Measure once and cut as many as needed without resetting the jig. Cutting the strips to the outside of the blade eliminates the risk of the strip being trapped between the blade and the fence and shot back at the saw operator. The jig saves time when making repeated cuts such as for deck planking and cutting your own strip wood from sheets. Once set the accuracy of the Thin Strip Jig cannot be equaled. JIG IN USE LEFTIES - PLEASE READ THIS If you are left-handed, please contact the NRG Office before you order your Thin Strip Saw Jig and let us know you are left-handed, we will install the logo on your jig, so it is right side up when in use.

ferretmary1 Posted June 17, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) The Jig has been our fastest selling item that we have produced for the ship model community, with almost 200 sold in the first two months of production. In fact, we sold out of the first 100 in less than 24 hours! The Jig is well made, durable and very reasonably priced. A note to non-US purchasers - the shipping cost for up to 3 jigs is the same as for 1 jig (blame the US postal service - not us) - so double up with a buddy or two and split the shipping. US shipping goes up a little bit with two or three jigs but is also worth splitting with a friend.

Landlubber Mike Posted June 20, 2022 Share #4 Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Mine arrived over the weekend, thanks! Nicely made little gadget that helps open up the saw to more options. I like the idea of cutting to the opposite side of the fence, as I sometimes get binding on longer pieces (even pushing the back of the fence slightly out).

clogger Posted July 5, 2022 Share #5 Posted July 5, 2022 HaHa Just been using my Mitre as a thin strip jig on my Byrnes saw. But I like the one above. Might scratch build my own version. Canute, 42rocker and mtaylor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
