Amazon has the MicroJig Tapering Jig for $100.06. The all time low according to CCC is $92 so not the best deal, but seems like micro jig stuff rarely goes on sale.

Also available from an Amazon marketplace seller for $99.

It is very easy to build your own tapering jig for a table saw. I would not recommend something like this unless you have a very specific usage case for it.

Not sure why this was downvoted. Any woodworker should be able to build one for a few dollars worth of plywood.

This is a really nice tapering jig, and if you were going to need to use it quite often, then I'd recommend you consider it. But what I did was make the other tapering jig that MicroJib gives plans for, using their MatchFit clamps:

Hats off for a MicroJig post, always good to see their stuff. That being said I agree that $100 is a lot to spend on something when either home built (more labor less cost) or elsewhere like the Rockler (same labor less cost) are such viable options

There are tons of DIY tapering jigs out there, but can anyone point me to some builds for a DIY tapering jig with accurate repeatable 1/16" per foot or 1/8° incremental indexed settings and that integrates well with Grrripper pushblocks?

Any cheaper commercial options with similar features?

This. I clicked on this post expecting to decide "oh, nah, I could build that", something like the Rockler one GTPquickRB posted. But I didn't realize it was a precision device that actually integrated with the GRR-Ripper I already have. Now I'm definitely considering it at this price.

I do get your point, but man, $100 for a jig is really stretching it. Considered my table saw was bought for $200, it seems crazy to spend that much for a jig. Generally, I feel the market for jigs is a big rip off. Like those Kreg jigs that cost far more than a good circular saw.

From the Rockler's link above, their can do 1 degree increment as well. And if you need a gripper to use this jig then this jig is definitely much more expensive than just $100.

Like others said, this might be worth it if you do a lot of tapers but usually people do 4 at a time (per project) and only the first one requires setup, the rest are repeats

It's too expensive for my use but looks like it can do a lot. Made in USA is a rare plus these days too.
