A jig is a tool which is used to control the motion of another tool.
A Stripper Jig holds a playing card, and allows the user to guide a razor blade along it's edge, shaving a whisker off the card. Adjustable settings control the playing card's location, enabling a variable depth of cut. Angled or straight cuts can produce a variety of gaffed cards/decks. The Stripper Jig holds Poker or Bridge size cards in either portrait or landscape position.

The Shaved
A tapered "whisker" has been shaved off the long edge of this Ace.
The Shavings
The "whiskers"- made with a replaceable blade, as sharp as a razor!
The Shaver
Mid-shave of a taper, the depth of the cut is less than the thickness of the card, and getting thinner.
The Jig
The Stripper Jig, card trimmer, purpose-built.
CAD
Computer-aided design was used to create and optimise the Stripper Jig.
Laser Cut
Laser cut components and machined edges ensures accuracy and alignment.
Stainless Steel & Brass
From the springs to the screws, everything is either stainless steel or brass construction.
Gap
Two stainless steel plates permanently fixed together with a gap between them a little larger than the thickness of a playing card.
Fully Adjustable
Fully adjustable stops, alignment marks and a notched gauge control the positioning of any playing card placed into the jig, landscape or portrait.
Clamp
With the card caged between the plates and stops, all that is needed to immobilise the card entirely is a brief clamping action provided by a finger and thumb.
Pick a card
Designer back or the standard classics, poker or bridge size, card or plastic, gaff any deck.
Stripper Deck
Just cut, a fully shaved deck showing the consistency of action. A few strokes of a diamond whetstone will round the corner.
The Box
Traveller box, compact, unlabelled, Stripper Jig incognito.
Protection
Cloth covered book binders board, double-wrap box with a wool felt lining and secured with a cotton tie - a fully protected jig.
