John,
I would be very interested in it.
Thanks
Greg Wilson

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.

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.
