MICROJIG continues to engineer innovative solutions. Several of MICROJIG’s products are No. 1 best sellers on Amazon and are featured in major retailers like Home Depot, Menards, Walmart, Woodcraft and Rockler.
We have established a commitment to creating high-quality US-made goods contributing to the renewal of American manufacturing. Our unique table saw safety systems are the perfect complement to the consumer’s desire for table saw safety equipment from a trusted and reliable tool manufacturer.
