Repeatable accuracy. Nothing makes work in the shop go smoother than a device that delivers repeatably accurate results. For years miter gauges, router tables and drill presses have used flip stops that give you repeatability when you need it, get out of the way when you don’t and are always ready to come right back to work. Woodpeckers new Rip-Flip Fence Stop System takes the precision and convenience of the flip stop somewhere it’s never been before… your table saw rip fence. Whether you have a specific dimension that you use day in and day out (rail and stile stock width, for example) or need to save a critical dimension during just one project, the Rip-Flip will return your rip fence to the exact same position time and time again.
To use a Rip-Flip Stop, just flip it up, slide the fence until it contacts the brass tip of the stop and lock your fence. It’s that easy. The large knurled brass knob and locking thumbwheel make micro-adjusting and locking quick and accurate. The stops are symmetrical, so they can be set up to contact the left side of the fence or the right, the choice is yours and it takes just seconds to flip a stop from one side to the other.
We weren’t satisfied with just adding flip-stop convenience and precision to the rip fence. We took it to the next level by coupling two stops together to produce perfect fitting dadoes. Stop hassling with repeated trial-and-error attempts to get just the right combination of chippers and shims. Simply assemble your dado stack to at least half the width of your finished dado. Then, with a few turns of the micro-adjuster you can fine tune a perfect fitting dado by making two cuts; one against each stop.
We’re not done. Now that you have the dado dialed in for a perfect fit, the coupled stops can be repositioned anywhere along the rail and the dado will remain exactly the same without ever readjusting anything. Think about fitting multiple shelves in a cabinet. Just slide the fence and the coupled pair of stops to wherever you want a shelf and the dado width is perfect and automatic.
The Rip-Flip for SawStop fits all SawStop Contractor, Professional and Industrial table saws equipped with their unique “T-Glide” fence. Integrating the Rip-Flip System with your table saw takes just a few minutes. It won’t affect the alignment of your rip fence rail and doesn’t require removing any original parts. Once the track is installed, you can position the Rip-Flip Stops anywhere along the rail, in any combination of right, left or coupled stops.
The Rip-Flip Fence Stop System comes in sizes to match the 36” and 52” SawStop T-Glide fences. All Rip-Flip systems come with mounting brackets and hardware, anodized aluminum track, two Rip-Flip Stops and one dado Coupling Pin. Flip Stops and Coupling Pins are available separately and we offer a pair of Flip Stops complete with a Coupling Pin as a bundle.
Like all Woodpeckers products, the Rip-Flip Fence Stop System is precisely machined and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio manufacturing facility (just south of Cleveland).
