I needed a jig to allow me to cut consistent thin strips away from the fence and the potential for binding and possbly nicking the fence. I have the Grr ripper but sometimes need a strip too narrow for this jig.(1/4" minimum)
I saw this in ShopNotes or similar and never got around to making it.
It's really simple and only needs a routed slot and a bolt to carry a small bearing on the nose. I picked up the miter slot fittings from
Workshop Supply here in Canada.
You can fine tune this with measuring bars and cut strip after strip just by moving the fence in to the bearing surface.
If you use the Grr-ripper you can set it way back and set the Gripper up ahead of it to carry the cut through the blade.

That seams to work pretty slick Bob. I've also have seen them here & there but never really paid any mind to it.
On the Dewalt router, did you compare it to porter cable or any others before buying. Or after buying, I haven't really read that much about the differences between them myself. I enjoyed your blogs,
Thanks, Randy Z Lacombe AB
