- In this woodworking video I show you how to make a Thin Strip Ripping Jig for the table saw.
Ripping thin strips of wood for all sorts of woodworking projects and furniture making is a very common task in the workshop. To make that job quicker, easier and safer we often make jigs. In this video I am making another version of a thin strip ripping jig that's quick to use and gives consistent results it's quick and easy to build and is a woodworking jig that is sure to get lots of use.

![[DIY] How to make a jig for cutting thin strips / Table saw project #8 / HOMEMADE](/img/n.gif)
Colin, since only a small percentage of viewers bother to hit the ‘like’ button, there is no way for you to estimate how many THOUSANDS of diy woodworkers you have helped over the years. On behalf of them and of course myself,
THANK YOU!!!!!
I love watching your video more than Netflix. Thank you making all these videos. One thing I wish is you could be my master. 🙂.
I use thin strips a lot, more than I thought I would. I'm going to make this in the coming week. The difference is that I'll mark the back piece to accommodate for 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 sizes. All I'll have to do is move the locking piece in the back to get the cut I want. Thanks so much for sharing. So much easier than before.
I like that you showed the operation of the completed jig (even the simple one) at the outset. I've been looking through a few of these vids by others, and too often I get to watch them build it (and I don't even need to see that), but only at the end do I get to see WHAT we're building. So, kudos for that, sir. I'm a fan of simple jigs - mine are all labeled with Sharpie so I don't cut 'em up by mistake.
You can also add painters tape ,then crank the blade up thru it. I made a shim: 1 1/2" high. About 1/4" thick. At about 1 1/4 degree angle. On my new DeWalt 7485 table saw! WOW! I never had a saw like that.
Great tip. Will be using this.
For the guys who have smart-arse comments. Not everyone has the cash or access to stores where you can simply walk in and buy everything available to the American or European markets. If you do, consider yourself very fortunate !
Thanks for this tip. I use strips all the time this will be really helpful. Many thanks.
Perfect jig for cutting different thickness planking for model boats...........thanks.
Thank you Collin always helpful!!
Brilliant idea!
Thank you.
Thanks, always what I'm looking for!
Thanks for showing both.
Thanks you so much for this jig. I needed a piece 5/16 thick 15/16 wide 9 1/8 long and this jig is like a miracle, so easy and safe to make. Thank you.
The only video I've seen on thin strip jigs that mentioned switching blades to reduce kerf. Great idea
Colin really enjoy the videos i do be showing my Dad ur tips everytime we're in the workshop and feel great cause its usually him showing me stuff so thank u
Thanks for a genuinely good video. Really simple and concise with a lot of good tips and explanation.
I use and like the Rockler thin strip jig, but this jig would save me the time of repeatedly moving the fence. I will build one and appreciate the small blade suggestion, because I'm usually working with smaller stock.
I made this and it's brilliant! I have cut several pieces of ply to accommodate for different thicknesses (to go on the back end) and I have to say that it works perfectly. Now that I know it works, I'll be making a hardwood piece that I can micro adjust to all of the sizes I use. (ie, an end plate from hardwood that I can adjust with a slider cut into the end piece with a knob for tightening).
As long as you have a good, sharp blade, you can cut ebony and Pink Ivory to exact widths ... because no one wants to waste expensive wood! (pink Ivory is the second most expensive wood ind the world to shake wood). This jig makes clean cuts every time (as long as the jig is square). Even a retired cabinet maker was impressed! I cut two lengths of Pink Ivory and ebony each, and they were precise and pristine. (for those who don't work with the hardest of all hardwoods, this is a thing because they don't always joint or plane easily). With a good blade, even the hardest of hardwoods need little sanding (which is fabulous because it takes forever to sand ebony ... you're better off with a card scraper). Micro adjust for precision, and Voila! This is my favorite jig ever for pieces less than 18 inches long (that was the length of a piece of black walnut I got for a few bucks). My new go-to for thin strips. Thanks so much for sharing!
I rarely bother watching others' woodworking videos any more, just yours. You show how to do things quickly, accurately, and safely. Thank you so much, Colin. Unfortunately the contractor's saw I have does not have a steel or iron table, so your mag switches, while cool, won't for for me. But the quick version of the thin strip ripping jig -- the first one in the video -- is good enough for my occasional use. Thanks for showing several versions.
Oh man thankyou! My tablesaw is plywood and my fence is also which means i have to line it up and clamp it in place each time i use it. Watched lots of video's foir cutting thin strips and they all need the fancy sliding fences but you just solved my problem! TYTYTY!
Thanks, mate. Beautiful, simple jig. Perfect for what I need. Thanks!
You're Welcome!
Wisdom is infinite, simple and easy to learn. I like your video.
Thanks Colin, I made a version of your magnetic jig a while ago, but see a lot of potential for the second version. I think I will have one made and in use in the very near future
Thank you.
Very clear and helpful.
I love makers like you, smart with experience to help others.
Thank You!
Always love watching your videos and instructions Colin
excellent jig and easy to make. Thank you for sharing.
This is a very helpful video since I am new to woodworking and learning by myself. Thanks!
Brilliantly simple. Thanks for the idea.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Brilliant Videos - Thank you for your knowledge - G'Day from Melbourne, Australia
easy and the best jig
Thanks great idea
This is perfect, thanks a lot!
Muito bom, parabéns!!!
Very handy idea - thanks!
Proud subscriber...ty Colin!
Good simple effective jigs
missed you. almost forgot how usefull woodworking tips you have. this one is very good
The level trick is incredible.
very useful information, thank you
thank you
tHAT IS VERY COOL AND SIMPLE... Thanks for making the video.
As a complete newbie, i love your channel. Very useful as easy to understand info. Great to see this video as I can't use magnets on my saw. I just picked up my first and it has an aluminium bed. Hopefully I will upgrade it to a cast iron one as I get better at woodwork. Again, many thanks for what you do on this channel.
Thanks Colin, great idea for us beginners... Greetings!
A great presentation. Well done from this side of the pond.
This is my new favorite channel.
This is Awesome! Thanks
Thank you. interesting idea )
great you can use it for different thickness of the strips..
excellent idea
That's just made my life much easier and safe Colin great jig thank's bud 😁😁👍👍
You are my best english teacher ever :-) greetings from Roma, Italia!!!!
Colin u are awesome thank u for the excellent videos
I went looking for this video, because I saw this jig in another video! It's so simple! I slapped my forehead!
Glad I could help!
thank you for this video.. I have been model making for years, and always am limited by the strips I could make. I will be using the first jig you demoed. The 2x4 with notch, simple, effective, and a coat of paint prevents it from use for other things.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Colin, yet another very useful video. Can't say I'd waste two toggle clamps on the small jig though, but that's just me, tight as a gnat's chuff. As we say in Britain.
I liked verá much your ideia!!! Congratulation.
Thank You!
We've good a wonderful building here in Sydney ( in Australia by the way, for those wondering ) it is a theatre: the Sydney Opera House. It took just a little more tme - and money - to build than any one of these fancy jigs.
I'm wondering what, or where, Australia is. I'll Google it.
another very useful jig thanks pal
You're Welcome!
great vid, thanks...........
Hey Colin
Just a quick note to say your design for the “ thin strip Jig” is nothing short or “ great” . I actually just finished building an alternate design jig yesterday and then yours today. Yours is much better hands down . Many thanks for the idea and I look forward to future ideas from you.
Many thanks
Phil Goulding
Great video thanks for sharing.
I watched presentation a number of times. Very good. I am going to make the same or similar. Thank you.
Good Vid, you could always write on the jig do not destroy or something, thin strip ripping jig. I shall make one of these for when I need thin kerf thickness strips for Celtic Knots.
I wish I would have known about the special toggle clamps you used before I bought my standard toggle clamps that are used to clamp parallel surfaces only.
GREAT tips like to watch your videos,can pick up lots of good ideas ,makes woodworking quicker.keep it up
Would a splitter help to prevent kickback?
Great jig!
you are a very smart man,,i got to make me one,,love your videos
parabéns muito bom
My goodness Colin, I can't believe how simple you have made it to SAFELY cut very thin strips of wood! For the life of me, I couldn't figure this out! I tried making a 1/8 inch box joint jig and I had to cut the 1/8 piece to reference from and this would have made it so much easier. Thank you so much for your insight and helpful videos! Cheers!

First comment: I came only till 2.15 min and then I stopped the video. It went to quick, so I set the speed at 0.5 and I watched it again and again and....... :-)
I like simple things so this first basic thin strip ripping jig should be awesome for me.
I'm going to try to make it this weekend (some weeks ago I thought about some project using thin strips. I wanted to use paint mixing strips for that but I did not find a supplier for that till now, you can get one or two when you buy paint but 20 or 50 is a problem)
In the past years I made some jigs which looked like blocks of wood (which in fact they were). After losing them, etc.
just like you mentioned, I had to make new ones. Those I painted with dark green paint-spray, a left-over from a car that we owned before). So now I do not lose them any more They're visible enough when laying on the work bench amidst the wood to saw or
scrap.
.
I believe that will hold up for a long time
Nice cool sound effect drill sound and video. You must be a woodwork teacher, very well teach and a clean shop btw.
Nice!
Couple of great ideas, going to make one this weekend. Would live to see a riving knive on your saw though.
Love your channel bro. It's cool to see all these jigs being built and made to look fairly easy. I'm still waiting to get my shop kitted out so it's very tough to work these things out. I'm enjoying all these little jigs and will be keeping some of your videos in my playlists from now on. Appreciate u taking the time out to make these helpful videos Colin mate. Salute to u from IRELAND,
Nice
I would have liked to see you use the Toggle clamp setup too. Great vid. Learned a lot, including doing it safely. Thanks Kolan, great as usual...Love your channel and been on it for years...
GOODJOB!!!
Great video! What would I do if ripping 8' strips? I'm planning on using salvaged wood for joint moldings in my shed/shop. Thanks!

Very cool looking jig I'm going to have to make one. I'd also like to see a video of the planer holder you have on the wall be hind you.
Great video, what type of clamps used? thank you
great idea. thank you
Hi Colin, as a complete amateur diy man, I was wondering if it mattered which side of blade you put the jig on,,, I have a little project in mind and need to take thin strips off a 8inchx4inchxhalf inch wood,, I find all your videos very interesting and watch them all,
Very handy tip. I cut a lot of thin strips for model boat building and my whirligig propeller blades. Going to make one!
Very useful jig for those of us who do not have a metal table saw & therefore can't use the magnetic switches.
Could you not just give your alternative ideas without the smart comment, I was just making a comment on the magnetic jig over the current one. You really need to learn some manners or just shut up.
Oh very nice! All we need is a rude arsehole on here! I also don't have a metal surface on my saw - the nice new SawStop Jobsite saw. And @ralphd's original comment was a positive one - this jig is very useful for those of us who don't have ferromagnetic tables. Methinks @MrBonners really does need to learn some manners and some social skills.
Dr_Rock (Pete) thanks & apologies to Colin for this unnecessary distraction. Colin's channel is one of the most informative & helpful woodworking channels for anyone learning woodworking & this sort of comment is way out of line.
Yup - and I just find it mind-boggling that someone's immediate reaction to your comment - which was a positive comment - was to be abusive and childish. I half expected him to finish off with "Na na na na naaaaa na". ;) OK - 'nuff said. Back to some woodworking on my non-ferromagnetic SawStop saw.... ;)
ralphd. I also don't have a steel table on my saw. When I see videos with magnets, I just skip to the next video.
Cool jig, thanks! Quick and safe cuts without any hassle. Will definitely be making this for when I'll be making my pallet coasters :)
Nice tip about the thinner blade too, might have to get one to save some wood.
I have used even smaller blades from cordless circular saws. Was great for cutting strips for model airplane building.
Have a question for you off topic could you do a video on differant table legs and how to make them that is over the top thanks Tom
Thanks Colin,think this may work with a bandsaw?
Thank you. What is that blue jig that you use for drilling at 5 minutes in. That looks really handy
Thumps up!
I LIKE IT.
i cut pieces as small as 1/8 thick x3/8wide for my projects. I set the fence for thickness and rip up to 4ft long. It works but I dont like it.just finished making 120 pieces the other day.(no accidents yet)
I'm definitely going to try this looks a lot safer to.i cut mostly cedar.some pine.
Thanks for the idea on another jig.
Thanks for watching!
@@knecht105 hi colin just an update. I made a mock up thin strip jig.now I can rip 4ft lengths and 2"h.basically used a 1"w×3"h x5feet long.trued it up.and installed a wooden pusher dowel
(temporarily).added a plywood cover on top(hides blade as you rip.then a pusher handle.and a feather board made from cedar.(will upgrade to bearings)Now my thin strips are more consistant.i went as thin as 1/8".and alot quicker than before.
Thanks again. I like a lot of the jigs you have built.
Colin, what epoxy did you use when making this jig? Thanks, great video
Very usefully ing. will you supply a link to where those little clasps came from? Thanks for a very good video, again.
The second one could be made with a runner, thereby making it easier to cut long strips
I don't see the link for the magnetic thin ripping jig, you stated would would post it please provide...and thanks for all the good vids...
