Clear Cut Stock Guides

JESSEM

The unique guide rollers of this pressure device are set at an angle of 5°, ensuring that they automatically guide the workpiece to the fence. Your workpiece is pressed firmly against the fence, and the urethane rollers securely hold it in place.

When the workpiece is guided to the fence by the pressure device at a slight angle, it’s crucial that the guide rollers do not rotate backward. This is especially important when milling grooves, as otherwise, the workpiece might unintentionally run into the cutter. To prevent this and the workpiece from being pushed back, each of the guide rollers is equipped with a sleeve clutch (a needle bearing that only rotates in one direction – the feed direction).

The JessEm pressure device fits all fences with a 6.4 mm (1/4 inch) T-slot (e.g., those from INCRA). They have an adjustment range of 70 mm (2-3/4 inch). The maximum workpiece thickness is 14.3 mm (9/16 inch) less than the distance from the surface of your router table to the center of the T-slot where the pressure devices are mounted.

The pressure devices are machined from solid aluminum, the rollers are made from cold-rolled steel, and additionally hardened for extended durability. The adjustment screws are made of stainless steel, and the rollers are coated with a wear-reducing resin that also provides a low coefficient of friction. The friction rings on the rollers are cast from urethane, making them durable and ensuring a good grip on the workpiece.

The pressure devices are quick and easy to adjust. They are secured in the desired position along the fence with a turn of the axle screw. The height is then adjusted using the clamping screw.

With this hold-down, there’s no need to struggle with pressing long boards against the fence – the guide rollers do that for you. Simply slide your workpiece under the pressure devices. They will automatically pull the workpiece to the fence while you hold the other end steady.

You have everything under control, even when working with wide or long boards. The hold-downs pull the workpiece firmly to the fence, ensuring safe, smooth, and precise milling, as your workpiece is always automatically held in the correct position.
