Automated Table Saw Fence (Rip-it)
Automated Table Saw Fence (Rip-it)
I have been fortunate enough to get my hands on a prototype Rip-it table saw fence. The Rip-it fence allows you to input a distance and the fence moves by itself to that precise position.

Could I use this to cut finger joints?
What an awesome prototype, that would be a great addition to the quiver
I have seen the future 😯
… and it’s wonderful 😄
What brand of saw is this used on?
😮😮🤯
Take my money!
I used something similar on a chop saw years ago. I’ve always wondered why it hasn’t been used on other tools.
jeremy fielding built one in 2020 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JEImn7s7x1o
Awesome
What if you could have all the money in the world! For the price, I could set up an entire shop!
Nice
Once it becomes voice command it will sell like candy
Most panel saws nowadays are equipped with digital controls for blade height,angle as well as fence movement. In europe at least
Arduino pinion gear and a servo a touch screen. Can you flip between inches and mm? Can you program a list of favorites if your production shop has constant rips A,B ,C to make an object?
Over $1200, hard pass for me.
Looks great but at msrp of $1700 you’d need one hell of a shop to justify it
That’s cool.
That’s killer! I’ve been thinking lately how useful something like that would be.
I really hope these guys dont get this idea stolen. This is a mega butt kicken game reinventer changer things idea/improvement.
Yea, that’s, that’s cool, very very nice.
I think it’s awesome, but I wouldn’t pay the 1300 Dollars for it.

I want it!
New tables also do have auto fences tho
Innecesario. ❤
there is already a panel saw with this function but it dosen’t have the touch drag thing
You are solving a problem that we don’t have. Moving the fence is the easiest part of woodworking.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bro that’s awesome 👌
Show de bola
So its like a tiger fence? Or is there something that sets it apart?
I think this would be cool to call out measurements to Alexa or Google and have it move the fence for you too.
automated fences are great until theres a problem with them…
Id still messaure every cut lol
I used one on a straight line machine 5 years ago. Punch in the width and press the button. It worked great until it stopped working.
I would happily exchange my money for this
It just seems like it is creating a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist. Plus…its just one more thing to break like electric windows on your car. Ever see a car with roll down widows not work? I’ll go with ….just because you can…doesn’t always mean you should.
Would be great on sheet metal shears or chop saw to
Is there any reference surface on the outfeed end to help maintain square?
No matter what it will be cost prohibitive.
WOW. . . I never thought I would see this 💡 idea come to fruition. 🤔
Well let’s hope it’s more accurate than the hole he drilled in that piece of angle.
man, wanted one but it’s sold out on the kickstarter!
If it already doesn’t, I think a good add to its design would be a stick on strip (sticker) that runs either end of the table it’s connected to. Just like a ruler the sticker would have incremental markings (QR Code for example) that a laser would read to keep exact measurements in relation to the saw blade to ensure accuracy. This would eliminate discrepancies if the rail was to wear or move. A basic calibration type system.
I like how you left nothing pinned in the comments
Wow awesome,!!!!
I thought this was an ok idea until they started cutting the thin slices at the end. That’s a real time saver for stuff like that.
I don’t see the pinned comment link😢
What keeps the fence locked into place so it doesn’t move? Also having the table on a drill press motorized to raise up and down would be a good add on accessory.
Omg!! That would be extremely helpful!
