  • Accurate Consistent Cuts
  • Improves Safety
  • Fits Table Saws & Bandsaws
The Sawinery Thin Rip Gauge allows you to rip multiple strips of wood to the exact same thickness on a table saw or bandsaw. Compatible with any saw featuring 3/8” x 3/4” miter slots, this tool improves safety by positioning the cut-off strip outside the blade, reducing the risk of kickback or material damage. It also creates more space between the blade and fence for using a push stick.

Made from machined and anodized aluminum with brass and plastic adjustment knobs, the gauge's dual ball bearings hold the material securely against the fence. For optimal results, pair it with a zero-clearance insert plate to avoid trapping material in the blade well. The gauge provides both inch and millimeter scales for precise adjustments, ensuring consistently accurate cut.


Highlights 

  • Provides a safe, convenient, accurate means of making repetitive rip cuts on the table saw
  • Comes with two different T-bolt types, making it compatible with all standard T-track types
  • Dual track locking knobs help ensure that gauge can’t move once tightened down, even with vibration

How To Use The Thin Rip Gauge

Uses & Features

  • Smooth Operation with Dual Ball-Bearings

    Dual ball-bearings make contact with the wood as it's being cut, significantly reducing friction. This ensures smoother operation and greater accuracy when making thin, precise cuts.

  • Locking Knob for Secure, Repeatable Cuts

    The adjustable locking knob ensures that once you’ve set the gauge for your cut, it remains firmly in place for repeated, consistent cuts.

  • Fits Standard Miter Track

    The Thin Rip Gauge works with any saw that has standard size 3/8” x 3/4” "T" miter slots.

  • Modifiable For Your Table Saw

    No standard miter track? No problem! Easily adapt the thin rip gauge with our modification guides.

  • Dual Inch and Metric Scales

    Includes both inch and millimeter scales. The inch scale is in increments of 1/16” and metric scale is in 1mm increments. Inch scale is 3 ½” long and metric is 10cm.

  • Fits on Right or Left Miter Slot

    The gauge can be used in either miter gauge track, on either side of the blade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Thin Rip Gauge works with any saw that has standard size 3/8” x 3/4” "T" miter slots. This includes most standard table saws on the market today.

The Thin Rip Gauge is compatible with table saws that have 3/8” x 3/4” "T" miter slots, including most standard table saws. However, we also provide a Modification Guide for various saw models that have different slot sizes. We have guides for Evolution, Delta, and Ryobi table saws, which might also work for you. Please note that some other brands of table saws use the same sorts of miter slots as these three brands. 

If that doesn’t work for your setup, feel free to email us at orders@sawinery.net for further assistance.

If your saw has non-standard miter slots, we offer modification guides to help adapt the Thin Rip Gauge. If you need additional support, email us at orders@sawinery.net, and we’ll help find a solution.

Yes, it can be used with a bandsaw. However, some bandsaws with very small miter tracks may require using the T-bolts that come with the Thin Rip Gauge or other modifications. You can either create a track insert to fit or remove the track insert from your saw’s miter gauge and adapt it to the Thin Rip Gauge.

Based on our testing, the Thin Rip Gauge can cut strips as thin as 1/16" with precision.
