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.
@@detroitdiy Thank you!. I'll place an order for this item soon. I'm planning a boat building project and the jig will come in handy for other thin strip cutting I have to do. Thank you for producing this video!!
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.
You’re like the dad I never had.. thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks. Your attention to detail and clear explanations are awesome. I learn a trick or 2 every time I watch one of your videos

Greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the awesome video!
Very informative. Thank you for covering this in such detail
Good video thank you for sharing!
I have to cut numerous 3/8" strips out off spruce stock 1.5" thick up to 16' long. Would this jig be useful for this purpose? Thanks
@derrickburry1788 yes it would, you will get nice consistent cuts. Use a feather board on top at back of saw.

If you don’t have a “T” track miter slot, the jig comes with a wedge you can use with a non “T” tract (such as my Dewalt).
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.

I use this jig and a Gripper when cutting thin strips. I doubt I’d even want to use a job site saw like I gave without Grippers-they are awesome.
