Very Nice. I’ve been thinking about this issue myself and this jig would fit the bill!

I also use a similar jig on a regular bases they work great. I like the ball bearing idea – thanks. I have included a link to Sketchup warehouse for the plans I made mine from.

How critical is the positioning of the jig before the blade , please ?

Dusty56, I think you want to know here it should sit in relation ot the front/cutting end of the blade.
I run mine about 2-4 inches behind the blade and have had no problems with it.
I acts much like a feather board and help keep the stock abainst th3 fence.
The other thing that helps is that normally the board will be milled prior to cutting strips which helps relaese some of the tension in the raw stock.
Take a close look at the picture I posted above and it is sitting on the front end of the insert.

Thanks

Hi Rob.
That’s just a standard 1/2” ball bearing roller.
You should be able to find them at most machine supply shops.
I can’t remenber where I got mine causa keep a drawer with this sort of stuff.
