Congratulations on your purchase of the MICRODIAL™ Tapering Jig.
We have put a lot of thought and effort into designing and making
what we feel is the safest, most accurate tapering jig available. Before
using your jig, read through this booklet to familiarize yourself with the
jig and how it works. Here is a general overview of the way the jig was
designed to work:
• The jig is designed to work
primarily on the table saw although
it can be used in a limited capacity
on a router table.
• The workpiece must have one
straight edge to hold securely
against the jig’s fence.
• The jig is not meant to be used as
a sled: when in use, the workpiece
will run directly on the saw’s table.
• The jig is designed to be guided
along the table saw’s rip fence.
It does not use the saw’s miter
gauge slots.
• The jig can be used to make one,
two, three, four, and even eight-
sided tapers quickly and efficiently.
• While the jig is designed to be
used in conjunction with one (or
two) GRR-RIPPER ADVANCED
MODEL 3D PUSHBLOCK
®
(GR-
200) systems (sold separately)
it can easily be used alone,
particularly with wider workpieces.
• The GRR-RIPPERs attach to the
left-hand side of the jig (with the
supplied hardware) and provide
the secure, safe grip on your
workpiece that GRR-RIPPER’s are
famous for.
• Your jig can be set up in one of
three ways: If you know the angle
of the taper you want, there is a
built-in precision degree scale
(accurate to .125°). Our patent-
pending COLORMATCH™
system makes dialing in a precise
angle a snap.

• If you know how much taper you
want per foot, there is a second
precision scale that is calibrated
to allow to set up the jig using rise
and run measurements.
• Finally, you can also set the jig by
simply laying out the taper you are
after on the face of the workpiece
and adjusting the jig to match.
• With all three of these methods,
you can preserve the settings
using the jig’s built in
MEMORYLOCK™ system.
• Your jig comes mostly
preassembled and ready to use.
There is also a handful of added
hardware for attaching some
optional features as well as a fully
adjustable handle.
• With minimum care, your new jig
should give you years of safe and
accurate tapering.
