Micro Jig

This slideshow will demonstrate how to create 1/8” by 1/8” dice with the GRR-Ripper and the optional 1/8” Leg.

These tiny two-tone dice will add an intriguing contrast and will be a beautiful detail in your next project.

Begin by ripping 1/8” strips using the GRR-Ripper and 1/8” Leg. For demonstration purpose, we use Poplar, Purple Heart or Walnut to deliver a sharp and elegant contrast.

Rip those strips to 1/8” by 1/8”.

Press the strips tight together, we utilize the miter slot on the table saw and couple of Micro jig ZeroPlay Stops and MJ Trailing Hooks for this purpose. Then use a good-quality masking tape to secure the strips together. Make sure to secure the front-end and back-end with wider strips. Tape only up to the Poplar wide strips as shown in the rear.

Crosscut the bound strips using the GRR-Ripper and 1/8” Leg. Keep the strips under the mid-section of the GRR-Ripper for better balance.

Here is a close-up of the 1/8” Dice Cut in action. We moved the center leg away from the saw blade to show a clear view of the cut. Ideally, make sure the center leg is as close to the left side of the saw blade as possible creating a narrow tunnel for the saw blade to pass through.

Note: For demonstration purpose, we placed the bound strips in the front of the GRR-Ripper and a supporting strip of equal thickness at the rear of the GRR-Ripper in keeping the balance of the GRR-Ripper.

Notice that the keeper pieces are still tight against the fence and parallel to the off-cut pieces. This shows you the CONTROL of the GRR-Ripper.

Create intricate details and make surgical precision cuts with quality and confidence with the GRR-Ripper.
