Precision Tappered Cuts On Your Table Saw Or Router Table

Tables and chairs are just a few of the fine furniture projects that require tapered legs and tops. But most of us have been trained to set up our table saw to achieve perfectly straight, non-tapered cuts. Fortunately, a tapered cut is just a straight cut that is on an angle.

Adjustable style jigs are built with two straight fences attached in the back by a pivoting hinge which allows you to make different angled cuts. When using this style of taper jig your material rests against a stop block in the back and is not secured to your fixture. This requires you to push your jig and material through the cut while simultaneously applying side pressure to hold your stock against the jig, not an ideal scenario. And forget making narrow tapered furniture legs with this style of jig, your fingers just can't push and hold the stock and be far enough away from the saw blade to make this type of cut safely.

  • The Micro Jig Microdial Taper jig takes tapered cuts to a whole new level of safety, accuracy, and speed. Now you can cut tapers with surgical precision using the intuitive COLORMATCH system which ensures the angle of your taper to 1/8th of a degree (incrementally up to 10 degrees) so you can work with precision.
  • The built-in MEMORYLOCK technology maintains two independent stops so you can switch quickly and easily between two tapers on a single workpiece and work faster.
  • And that’s just the start; the Microdial's versatile design coupled with the GRR-Ripper's control and protection allows you to feed table legs in a whole new way. By using the precision gauge, you can accurately create unique and uncommon table legs with up to 8 tapered sides. Combine the Microdial Tapering Jig with 1 or 2 GRR-Ripper Advanced Model 200's to craft impeccably tapered legs. 

 

The MICRODIAL Tapering Jig gives you the ultimate precision when cutting tapered panels on the table saw too. Perfect for tapering large panels for table tops, small tapered panels for table aprons or lamps, and even making unique tapered pepper mills.

It's good, but not magical

This tapering jig works. It's not as magical as the advertising would have you believe, but it does the job nicely. Assembly took awhile -- there are lots of parts. It's big and therefore a nuisance to store when not in use. I'd suggest the gripper (an add-on unit) as a big help. The gripper is a big goofy but serves a useful purpose with small parts (like when the taper goes to nothing). Both need a bit of practice on junk stock before trying 'real' cuts. I'd buy it again.

How long a leg can you make using this jig? See more »

This jig does not have a maximum length as the maximum taper length also depends on tabesaw being used. The jig itself measures 25" long. We have used the jig on our sawstop cabinet saw to make 26" tapered legs with room to spare.
