Slide 1 -Micro Jig Presents: The 1/8” Dice Cut with the GRR-RipperThis 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.
-
Slide 2Begin 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.

Slide 4Press 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.
-
Slide 5Crosscut 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.
-
Slide 6Here 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.

Slide 10Dice Cut close-up view (end).
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.

Slide 11Notice 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.

Slide 12Create intricate details and make surgical precision cuts with quality and confidence with the GRR-Ripper.
