Domino Template and Drill Bit
KS Woodwork

Anyone looking for a new woodworking idea should take a look at a domino template. Anyone who has done woodworking or crafts for a while have seen multiple Cribbage templates. I think purpleheart would be an interesting wood species for a hand-crafted domino set. This project would be a unique christmas gift.

Domino Templates and Bit

Craft your own wooden dominoes from any species of wood! Makes an excellent gift that’ll have people “lining up” at the table for some fun and games. Simply use the included bit and templates to drill the “spots” in your blank, then cut out your dominoes. The guide notches provide easy reference for cutting accuracy. Two templates makes one full set of double-six dominoes (28 tiles). Includes two drilling templates and a spring-loaded, hex-shank Domino Drill Bit. Finished tiles measure approximately 1″ x 2″. Templates measure 4-3/8″ x 10″. Domino Templates and Bit

Cove Cutting Table Saw Jig

Cut custom coves on your table saw without juggling all those fences and clamps! This jig includes everything you need for safe, easy coving in one easy-to-use package. Accepts stock up to 7″ wide and 1-1/2″ thick, enabling you to cut huge crown moldings that would cost a fortune from the lumberyard. Just angle the sawblade for elliptical coves. Ingenious clamping system secures the fences using the 3/4″ miter slots on the saw table. Large, easy grip knobs make for quick, tool-free setups. Included featherboard kit holds stock firmly to the table for added safety, precision and repeatability. Cove Cutting Table Saw Jig

Woodworkers have made cove molding with a table saw for years. This woodworking procedure requires a special jig to maintain safety and accuracy. Usually this jig is crafted from scrap material for the specific width of molding being machined. This manufactured jig is adjustable for a variety of moldings. The price is worth the time saved custom building a system to manufacture cove molding.

View the Power Bore Drill Bit Demonstration Video 9-Piece Power Bore Drill Bit Set

I have seen this unique drill bit discussed on many woodworking message boards. The design is different from standard twist drill bits. They reduce burning when drilling hard woods or deep holes. This is accomplished by more efficient removal of woodchips. As the manufacturer states this will not replace all the bits you currently have. They are not intended for drilling metal.
