Cutting Thin Strips on the Table Saw

Woodworking is my passion. Having taught many woodworking classes, I found that my woodworking students were terrified of using the standard aluminum taper jig so many years ago I began using a less refined version of this jig in my woodworking shop and when teaching woodworking classes. Woodworking does not need to be rocket science so as wind down crafting fine furniture I am refining and manufacturing my woodworking jigs so that others do not have to re-invent the wheel. Woodworking should be fun yet challenging, I hope I can help you become successful in your woodworking projects.

Happy Woodworking

Thank you for the great video. I saw Woodcraft sells only one type of twist magents for $42.50. They are MagSwitch 30mm MagSquare magnets, but they look too big for what I need. Yours are smaller. Do you recall the size, price, manufacturer of your twist magents?

Charles,

Thank you for your considerable effort in putting together your video series. I would like to know where you got the "twist magnets"? Thanks.

@BradburyGuy yes, the Gripper works great but if you don't have one, a push block can be shop made in a few minutes.

Thers a better way. Gary Rogowski has a neat jig

[BradburyGuy]

The Micro Jig, Gripper will allow these cuts without moving the fence and without kick-back

[diymark]

Thank you for your quick reply.

@andersonec1 After a bit a thought, that wouldn't work. The next strip would be minus the width of the saw blade.

Thank you for the video! and thank you Mr Kaufmann for the technique. This is very useful for aquaring thin strips for detailing purposes...

[hhddww]

Sounds good at first but it fails to take into consideration the width of the blade. Further, it would be extremely unsafe to be pushing the strips you've already cut, plus the current stock through the table saw. It would be way too cumbersome, be prone to kick-back (which is what this avoids), and would not lend itself to accuracy.

[andersonec1]

Instead of moving the fence for every cut, why don't you take the strip you have just cut and place it between the stock and fence and do this with every strip cut, that way the stock moves over the exact width of the strip just cut.
