MicroJIG Zero Play Guide Bar System (2 Bars & 2 Stops)

Regular price $42.90

No More Hardwood Guides - Year Round Precision Regardless Of The Weather!

The ZeroPlay Guide Bar is a “One-Touch Calibration” miter bar (9 ½” in length) that has two stacked half bars with opposing wedges that expand parallel evenly to fit the exact width of a standard miter slot for a perfect fit and smooth glide, even fits tricky Shopsmith™ or General’s miter slots. The old method of making guide bars out of wood (yes, even plywood) is a thing of the past. The MicroJIG Zero Play system won't swell and shrink with seasonal humidity.

Our full ZeroPlay Guide Bar System comes with two bars and two stops. This package is great for serious woodworkers who build multiple jigs and recognize the value of a simple, exact, and trustworthy miter bar. Great for replacing your current runners or building new ZeroPlay Jigs. If you're feeling creative, use two ZeroPlay Guide bars in tandem for building larger, more elaborate, jigs as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the ZeroPlay Guide Bar System?

This package includes two guide bars and two stops, making it great for woodworkers who build multiple jigs. A jig plan and a shop-build clamp plan are also included. See more joinery jigs.

How long are the ZeroPlay guide bars?

Each bar is 9 1/2" in length and uses two stacked half bars with opposing wedges that expand to fit the exact width of a standard miter slot.

Will it fit my miter slot?

The bars expand to fit the exact width of a standard miter slot for a perfect fit and smooth glide, and they even fit tricky Shopsmith or General miter slots.

Why use ZeroPlay instead of wooden runners?

Wooden and plywood guide bars swell and shrink with seasonal humidity, ruining accuracy. The ZeroPlay system won't swell or shrink, giving year-round precision regardless of the weather.

How does the One-Touch Calibration work?

The bar has two stacked half bars with opposing wedges that expand parallel and evenly to match your miter slot width, so you get a snug, slop-free fit without trial-and-error set-screw adjustment.

Can I use two bars together for bigger jigs?

Yes. You can run two ZeroPlay Guide Bars in tandem with custom spacing to build larger, more elaborate jigs. Explore more router jigs & guides for ideas.

What do the ZeroPlay Stops do?

The stops serve as an anchor for clamping devices within the miter slot, limit the travel distance for specialty jigs, and can be used to build a table saw coving fence. A shop-build clamp plan is included.

Can I retro-fit my existing cross-cut sled?

Yes. You can retro-fit existing cross-cut jigs for improved precision or replace worn and warped wood runners and aluminum bars that are a hassle to calibrate.

How are the bars installed in a jig?

They use Top Down Installation, letting you square the jig to the blade and secure it through the top of the sled, which makes building square cross-cut jigs much easier.

Who is this system best for?

It is aimed at serious woodworkers who build multiple jigs and value a simple, exact, trustworthy miter bar. Pair it with clamping tools for secure setups.
