MicroJIG Microdial Tapering Jig - Table Saw & Router Table

Regular price $129.90

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MicroJIG Microdial Tapering Jig used for?

It is used to cut precise tapered cuts on a table saw or router table, including tapered furniture legs, panels, and tops. Explore router tables & packages.

How precise are the taper angles?

The COLORMATCH system sets your taper angle to 1/8 of a degree, incrementally up to 10 degrees, so you can dial in repeatable, accurate tapers.

What is MEMORYLOCK technology?

MEMORYLOCK maintains two independent stops so you can switch quickly and easily between two tapers on a single workpiece, helping you work faster.

Can it cut legs with more than four sides?

Yes. Using the precision gauge, you can accurately create unique table legs with up to 8 tapered sides.

Does it work with the GRR-Ripper?

Yes. The Microdial's design is meant to be combined with one or two GRR-Ripper Advanced Model 200's for added control and protection when feeding table legs through the cut.

Why is the Microdial safer than a standard taper jig?

Adjustable taper jigs leave the stock unsecured against a stop block, forcing you to push and apply side pressure at once, which is risky for narrow legs. The Microdial provides controlled, precise cuts. See our push blocks & featherboards for safe feeding.

Can I use it on a router table as well as a table saw?

Yes. The jig is designed for precise tapered cuts on both the table saw and the router table. Pair it with router table accessories for a complete setup.

What kinds of panels can it taper?

It is perfect for tapering large panels for table tops, small panels for table aprons or lamps, and even unique projects like tapered pepper mills.

Who makes the Microdial Tapering Jig?

It is made by MicroJIG, a manufacturer known for woodworking safety and precision accessories.

What projects is this jig best for?

It excels at fine furniture work such as tapered table and chair legs and tapered tops, plus panels for aprons and lamps. Outfit your bench with router plates & lifts to support precise work.
