Peachtree Thin Rip Jig for Table Saws — Repetitive Narrow Cuts in 3/4 in x 3/8 in Miter Slots

Overview

Meet the Peachtree Woodworking Supply Thin Rip Jig, a behind-the-blade guide designed to help you produce consistent narrow cuts on table saws. Built with an aluminum body, a smooth roller guide, and a user-friendly star knob, this jig supports precise setups and repeatable results when working with stock that’s two inches wide or less.

How it works

Begin by unplugging the saw for safety, then measure from the outside edge of the blade toward the guide roller to establish the exact width you want. Lock this setting with the large star-shaped knob. Place your stock behind the blade so it lightly touches the guide roller, and lock the fence. This method keeps your hands away from the blade while maintaining accurate, repeatable cuts.

The Thin Rip Jig behaves like a helpful second guide behind the blade—stable, non-springy, and capable of holding its position once secured. A free-rotating guide bearing ensures smooth feeding as you guide stock through the cut.

Key benefits

• Delivers repeatable narrow-cut widths with a simple setup ritual.
• Promotes safer operation by guiding stock away from the blade and fence.
• Roller guide bearing provides easy, steady feeding through each pass.
• Easy-to-grip star knob allows quick, secure width locking.
• Solid aluminum construction offers durability for frequent workshop use.

Versatility and setup

• Designed to fit standard 3/8 in x 3/4 in miter slots and works with many router tables and band saws.
• Compatible with larger or longer stock by using two Thin Rip Jigs for extra stability.

Use cases include creating a series of narrow stock pieces, shelves, trim, or decorative strips where consistent width is key. While this guide helps with many projects, results will depend on your setup and material characteristics. Consider it a potential enhancement to your existing workflow rather than a guaranteed outcome.
