Well -- I guess it could be. But that's not what I use it for.
I think it a jig for making a straight edge.The jig uses the fence as a guide.The lip on the back of the jig engages the piece.
Stan, does the strip across the back of this fixture extend beyond the fixture its self? If it does, I would say you use it to cut very thin strips of wood. You use the fence as a guide and the extended piece just catches the stock to be cut. This is one of the safer ways to cut thin strips of wood.

John and Dr. Zook have it figured out. John described how it was used and the Dr. gave the detailed description. Points are on their way.

Below are the results of using my 'Spline Cutting Jig' -- some inlays to be used in making picture frames.
