Why you need this thin rip guide Achieve accurate, repeatable rip cuts with minimal setup. Clear index and imperial scales make measurements fast and unambiguous so you can line up cuts reliably every time. Roller-guided design improves stability and control at the start and throughout the cut, reducing wandering and user error. Lightweight but rugged construction resists wear and vibration, delivering consistent accuracy across many jobs. Key benefits Precise measurement: Dual scales (metric and imperial) with a measuring range of 0–120 mm (0–4 1/2 inch) let you set exact cut widths quickly. Better cut control: The built-in roller guides the plate smoothly along the workpiece, improving contact and reducing drift during the cut. Durable and portable: Made from high-strength aluminum alloy that is abrasion resistant and flexible enough to absorb work stresses while remaining easy to carry and position. Safer operation: The sturdy design stabilizes the workpiece, minimizes wood chatter, and helps prevent accidental slips that can cause mistakes or injury. Performance and design highlights Clear index and imperial scales for fast, error-free measurements. Roller-driven movement for smoother starts and consistent feed. High-strength aluminum alloy construction for long-term durability and minimal wear. Thin profile for close, accurate ripping without adding bulk to your setup. Typical applications Furniture and cabinet making: Accurately rip boards to consistent widths for panels and drawer components. On-site trim and finish work: Quickly set and make repeatable cuts when working on door jambs, baseboards, or sills. Shop and hobby woodworking: Use for precise ripping of plywood, solid wood, and laminates where clean edges and repeatability matter. What you can expect in use Faster setup with clear scales and smooth rolling travel. Reduced rework thanks to more stable cuts and less wood chatter. Long service life from abrasion-resistant aluminum alloy, keeping the guide reliable across many projects.
