BOSCH 85608MC 3/8-Inch x, does exactly what it should

does exactly what it should
This is a simple thing. Simple things usually do simple tasks. This one does it perfectly well. I’ve cut holes in soft and hard woods and they turn out perfect every time: no frayed edges in pine, no grain rupture even in curly maple. That is just as I want tools [...]

Starrett C33H-12-4R, Absolutely outstanding!

Absolutely outstanding!
The work you produce can only be as good as the tools you measure it by. Don’t even consider the cheap copies, they don’t come close to the acuracy and quality of this square. The head is cast and ground with relefs in the channel, and the blade is machined, not [...]

Great Incra Features for a Great Price
Not only was I impressed with the product, but the packing was superb, usually things arrive poking through the box but even the carton was well designed. Setup was a cinch, the instructions included photos and clear directions. I was already prepared thanks to Incra’s offering the [...]

The LU86 does it all…
In spite of a review that punishes this blade for a shipping issue, I ordered it based on my other experiences with Freud and their reputation for quality. I wasn’t disappointed. This is a very good blade at a terrific price. Freud’s “L” series offers a step up [...]

Kreg KMS7712 24-Inch Top, Outside the box

Outside the box
I mounted this top track on the outfeed side of my router table fence. It does not interfere with the movement of the featherboards or the wood because it is slightly recessed from the face of the fence.
Works great with the Kreg production stop to serve as a stop block for cutting [...]

DEWALT DW682K Heavy-Duty, A Great Value

A Great Value
First, the rack & pinion design of the fence makes this a very stable and accurate tool. It is powerful and the grip and switch location is convenient. When used without the vacuum attachment, this machince shoots the chips right at the operator. However I always use a vacuum attachment because [...]

Dremel EZ456 1-1/2-Inch, Excellent cut-off wheels,..

Excellent cut-off wheels, long lasting, but buy the package with the mandrel if you don’t already have a couple
I bought this product and the EZ406 product (same but with a mandrel) from Amazon, I’m very pleased with these cut-off wheels for heavier duty jobs, they’ll make quick work of 2mm-3mm steel, which is pretty impressive [...]

Kreg PRS3020 True-FLEX, Buy this one!

Buy this one!
Kreg makes some good products. These work well. They fasten easily to miter slots or T-Track. They have 5″ of adjustment. The pack of two comes with an additional pair of longer mounting bolts to allow both featherboards to be stacked for thicker or taller wood. Even have [...]
