Domino Template and Drill Bit
Saturday, December 1st, 2007Anyone 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.

Saturday, November 17th, 2007The Festool Rotex RO Sander works with the Festool Dust Collection system. This combination of tools keeps fine dust out of the air. The workshop will be cleaner without fine dust on all flat surfaces. Also the shop will be healthier without dust circulating through the air.

Cove Cutting Table Saw Jig
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Woodworkers 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.

Power Bore Drill Bit Set
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007I 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.

The unit has a complete set of accessories and room to store them. The unit has the ability to be turned on when a power tool’s power switch is activated. It is capable of filtering fine dust that you do not want to clean up.
