Woodworking Hacks Episode 10 - Woodworking Tips and Tricks

Details: Hits: 225

My workshop is not very big and that means that some of my woodworking machinery needs to be moved around from time to time in order to operate it, like my router table, planer, bandsaw and sometimes my drill press and table saw. All of these tools have wheels to make them easier to move around, and they all have "locking" wheels, which means that when you move a lever on the wheel, it locks the wheel from rolling.

One of the problems with most locking wheels is that they sit under a support on the machine. This becomes a problem of locking and unlocking the wheels when that locking lever is hidden under the machine. This often means getting down on your hands and knees to lock or unlock a wheel ...

This is one jig that took me much less time than I expected and turned out one of the most useful tool adaptions I have made ... turning my angle grinder into a mini chop saw for cutting off little metal parts, like ready-rod, bolts and so on, for all the woodworking jigs I am making.

For most woodworkers, the Reverse Glue Joint Router Bit is not one of the more common wood router bits ... in fact, few even know about it. For cabinet makers, this is one their more common router bits and in some shops, there are router tables dedicated to this bit because it is used so often. The setting up of this bit can challenge your patience, but once set will give quality joinery to your project.

Table Saw Jigs to Align a Crappy Table Saw Fence / Table Saw Fence Alignment

Details: Hits: 3063

One of the things I have learned in woodworking is that a good fence on a table saw is everything. I spent many, many years with 2 previous table saws both of which had terrible fences before I finally invested in a table saw with a good fence. When I went looking for a table saw that was the FIRST thing I looked at was the quality of the fence and how easy it was to set and how well it kept it's setting on the saw. For me - there is nothing in woodworking that is more frustrating than having a table saw fence that needs to re-set on the front and back and often re-re-set for every cut.

What having poor fences taught me a couple of tricks for setting them up more quickly and accurately than using a tape measure every time and these 2 quick and easy jigs are what I used many years ago, and maybe will help others with their table saw fences that have lost their accuracy.

This time I am back at the drill press, showing some very cool tricks with Hole Saws, and at the same time, making an upside-down holding stand for my Epoxy Glue Bottles, because after they get half empty, it takes - forever- for the glue to run down to the nozzle so I can mix them together ..
