Thanks for this info, I'm building euro style cabinets for a customer and I wanted an alternative to using veneer strips to cover the front edge of the plywood boxes. I bought the jig that you are using in the video and it's a great tool. I love tools that work as they should.
The reason the microjig is superior to these things is that you have downward pressure into the fence applied across the entire cut. This is further accentuated with two grippers. Add a feather board and you reduce kickback even further. I’d much rather have my hand passing over the blade with a gripper than gliding it past the blade bare handing a workpiece. Don’t forget to order a tourniquet to keep in the shop.
Ejection is real. i dodged a bullet this weekend when I was practicing cutting a 1/2 inch strip (about 8" long) that shot out, missed me, and my son's car that was parked in front of the garage, to land 60 feet away.

Thanks. Your attention to detail and clear explanations are awesome. I learn a trick or 2 every time I watch one of your videos
Good video thank you for sharing!
Very informative. Thank you for covering this in such detail
Thanks for the awesome video!
There are diy jigs that are variations of this design. What’s your take on them?
@@txm11-t4u Most of the diy jigs work well. Just takes an hour or so to build them.

@@stephanedemers5095 seems to happen when you least expect it.
Too much trouble adjusting the fence every time.
