What we Believe
We believe that woodworking should be fun.
MICROJIG woodworking tools are designed to let creativity guide your work, not your limitations. They allow you to achieve incredible precision easily, and safely, which makes woodworking more enjoyable. We’re looking at an ancient craft in a whole new way, and we’re changing the way people work with wood.
Our Mission
To empower all people to succeed at their passions. Our goal is to make table saw injuries a thing of the past.
The Beginning
Our Story
It all started in 1998 in a small garage workshop in Orlando, FL. Founder and Inventor, Henry Wang, was hard at work on an intricate cutting board project. Faced with the challenge of cutting thin strips on a table saw, he sought to create a solution that would allow him to cut small parts safely, accurately, and repeatably.
His frustration with the inefficiency of traditional woodworking methods sparked a revolutionary new concept that would become one of the most innovative woodworking tools to come out in decades.
After thousands of engineering hours and dozens of handmade prototypes, the GRR-RIPPER was born.
The groundbreaking pushblock system made its debut on the trade show circuit, and was met with praise, criticism, and everything in between. Now, the GRR-RIPPER is recognized as the #1 table saw accessory in the world, selling over 1,000,000 units in 20 countries (and counting!). Here at home, we continue to pursue our vision of a future without table saw injuries.
To that end, we established the Safety For Every Shop program, donating GRR-RIPPERs to every high school wood shop in the U.S. By educating and outfitting the next generation of craftsmen, we believe table saw injuries can one day be a thing of the past.

1% for People
Beginning in 2020, we pledged to donate 1% of company revenues to humanitarian non-profits and charitable organizations. This Initiative continues to fuel our mission of empowering others to be successful at their passions by supporting those who've been afflicted by injustice, poverty, or unfortunate circumstance and make progress on their path to pursue their passions. They, too, deserve the chance to build their dreams.
Our goal is to use our giving in a focused manner by selecting the few areas and organizations that we can really make a difference with and have truly inspired us with their mission, intelligence, Initiative, and integrity. We're avoiding a shotgun approach and do not want to donate to just anyone who asks. Thank you for helping us grow so that we can continue to give back and help bring meaningful change to people's lives.
Where we're going
A future worth building.
Every day, we're working towards a world where people can express their creativity safely. We want to end the needless injuries happening with table saws and power tools when pursuing one's craft. Our team and our partners around the world are empowering others to succeed at their passions through innovation, design, and education.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build their dreams. We want to be that ripple in the universe that helps others realize their dreams.
