After seeing the pic of the Jones rib slicing tool, I dinked around with CAD
for a few minutes and came up with a template that gives .50" of depth
travel in .001" increments - not surprisingly, it looks one heckuva lot like
Mr. Jones device. Happy to post the template if there is any interest.

Subject: Re: [Indoor_Construction] Rib slice tool
Aki-san is correct. The Jim Jones rib slicing tool permits adjusting the
distance the rib template moves downward between slicing cuts by moving a
triangular (~30 deg triangle) indexing plate to the right. The horizontal
movement is 2-4 time the vertical movement of the template. My ability to
describe this clearly is not so great.
I wish that I had bought another one of these and another two or more torque
meters while Jim Jones was still able to make and sell them. Many good tools
came from him.

I use a template made from aluminum flashing material for the first cut and
then a Gardner or Tyson stripper to cut two or three ribs. I true the blank
by making another cut with the template and then cut some more ribs.

I have been using JJ rib slicing tool for all models but, of course, it is
not sold anymore.
It is easier and faster than using a 2 micrometers type balsa stripper like
Indoor Model Specialties.
What tool do you use to slice ribs? What do you recommend to newcomers?
We can find rubber strippers, winders, balsa slitters, scales and many other
tools but cannot find a rib slicing tool (and an analog TQ meter).
Good flying, Aki, my PC broke this week and lost all emails and email
addresses...
