TigerStop
TigerStop products help optimize and improve the accuracy of all lineal processes. Add-on products easily and affordably integrate with existing equipment, while TigerStop’s fully integrated systems provide a turn-key material processing and positioning solution.
TigerStop was founded in 1994 by Spencer Dick, who, as the owner of a thriving manufacturing business, became frustrated with the inherent inefficiencies of his machine operators stopping to reset and recalibrate whenever they were cutting or processing material to various lengths. Spencer also noticed that regardless of how carefully material was measured, the end results were always of slightly different dimensions. He founded TigerStop to automate cutting, boring, punching, and machining processes so that fast and accurate parts, whether wood, metal, or plastic, would result each and every time.
TigerStop has since become a global leader in automated stop/gauge and pusher systems under the TigerStop and SawGear brand names. Headquartered in Washington State, TigerStop is a U.S. manufacturer with a second manufacturing and distribution facility in Wierden, Netherlands, a distribution network spanning six continents, and product support in five languages.
TigerStop
Measuring and setting manual stops takes time, requires a great deal of skill, and even with the best operator you will still get misscut parts requiring costly rework. TigerStop was designed to solve these problems. Adding a TigerStop means increasing speed and accuracy with a machine that is easy to operate.
Speed
Automation means faster processing – so you can output more finished parts a day. Just punch in or download your cut list, the stop will move to position, and simply place your material and cut.
Accuracy
The TigerStop is amazingly accurate giving you perfectly cut parts… every time. This saves on costly rework and reduces labor costs.
Easy to Operate
TigerStop’s interface is easy to use and an operator can be trained in as little as ten minutes. Once trained, station set up time goes to zero for even more cost savings. Simply add the TigerStop to an existing saw station, drill, or punch, and you transform your machine into an automation solution for a huge jump in efficiency and accuracy.
Easy to Upgrade
Start simple and build your TigerStop system as you grow. Add label printing, Dynamic Pack Optimization, Cut List Downloading Software, and much more. You can even add a touch screen interface, TigerTouch, for a new level of visibility and productivity. Get just what you need now, and then let TigerStop grow with you and your operation.
SawGear
Simple and Intuitive Automation
SawGear is a highly portable automated saw fence that removes the need to set and adjust manual fences for length positioning and complex miter/angle cutting. Using SawGear in place of a manual fence or stop block allows the operator to increase accuracy and productivity, and decrease miscut parts and rework. A standard SawGear system can be mounted on any existing shop work bench. Adding SawGear’s portable tables to your order allows users to reap the benefits of automation on the jobsite.
With Crown+MiterPro software, SawGear will easily calculate positions for angled or mitered parts. This makes hanging crown and baseboard a simple and math free process.
Any operator is your best operator with SawGear!
TigerFence
Walking around your sliding table saw to adjust a manual fence may seem like a small inconvenience, but over the lifetime of the saw, it adds up to serious wasted time and money. TigerFence brings speed, precision, and productivity to your table saw by adding automation that can be controlled from one side of the fence. Most users see up to 30% more productivity out of their saw with TigerFence.
No More Setup Time
TigerFence moves to the desired dimension at the press of a button. No more walking to adjust a manual fence, measuring and marking material, and wasting precious labor hours. TigerFence will travel to any size you need and will be repeatable to +/-.003 inches (.07mm). This eliminates the need to make a test cut and reset the fence.
Adaptable
If you need more production, don’t buy a new saw. Turbocharge your existing table saw with TigerFence! TigerFence can easily attach to almost any table saw.
