Power Tool Guide 05J50.01
Power Tool Guide 05J50.01 The Veritas® Power Tool Guide is a collapsible straightedge that can be clamped to any material under 1" thick. The 52" tool guide (05J50.03) can be clamped across sheet material up to 52". The 8' Power Tool Guide (05J50.01), or the 48" tool guide extension (05J50.04) added to the 52" tool guide, can be clamped across sheet material up to 100". The advantage this guide has over other 8' guides is that it may be dismantled quickly and easily for cutting smaller sheet material as well as for easier storage or transport. The guide includes a pair of 1" capacity clamps that can be positioned anywhere along its length. For clamping material thicker than plywood sheets, a pair of 2" capacity clamps (05J50.09) is available separately. An optional 12" traveller (05J50.02) used in conjunction with a user-made base plate ensures that your power tool will effortlessly follow the intended line with greater safety. The utility of the traveller is further enhanced with the optional position stop (05J50.10) that clamps onto either guide rail. Figure 1: Veritas® Power Tool Guide.

Circular Saw Safety
CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY Tool Box Talk Hand-held circular saws are powerful tools that can spin their blades at over 5,000 revolutions per minute. It’s important to choose safety and always use saws properly and with care. Hazards to be aware of include noise, flying debris, electrical, and saw kickback. Saws should be inspected before use and only used by qualified personnel. Safe setup prior to cutting: Safety while cutting: • Always wear ANSI Z87.1+ safety glasses, • Avoid cutting into blind areas goggles, or face shield with eye protection • Avoid twisting the saw to change, cut, or check alignment • Hearing protection is recommended; saws are loud • Saw should not need to be forced during cutting and longtime exposure may lead to hearing loss • Check for obstructions or objects like nails and screws • Wear proper respiratory protection when required • Do not carry the saw with a finger on the trigger switch • Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry • Stand to the side when cutting to keep out of the line that may be pulled into the saw of cut if kickbacks occur, do not overextend — position • While unplugged, check retracting lower your feet so you’re balanced and in full control blade guard to ensure it works freely • Be alert to the possibility of the blade binding • Tighten blade-locking nut to manufacturer specifications and the potential for and kickback • While unplugged, set and lock blade depth so lowest tooth • Always use both hands on the handles for does not extend more than 0.3 cm (⅛") beneath the wood maximum control, and

Safe Hand Tool and Portable Power Tool Use and Inspections
Safe Tool Use • Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. – All volunteers should have hard hats and safety glasses on at all times while on site. – In addition: • Provide dust masks (sanding, sweeping, insulating, etc.) • Provide ear plugs (power tools, work in enclosed spaces) • Provide knee pads, gloves, and any other safety equipment to increase comfort of crew members. Safe Tool Use • Do not allow the operation of tools without approval and supervision. – Make sure all members of your crews are trained to use the tools they need. – Remember: Everyone must get an orientation to all power saws before they use them, regardless of their personal experience. • Allow volunteers time to learn and encourage them to practice. – Make sure they are comfortable using tools after instruction. Safe Tool Use • Do not over-exert yourself or the tool. – This can lead to slips and strains. Encourage volunteers to take breaks rather than overexerting or straining themselves. • Place yourself in a good body position. – Most hand tool accidents result from being struck by the tool or flying chips. • Use only sharp knives, blades and bits. – Replace as necessary. Make sure volunteers are comfortable replacing bits and blades or coming to you when they need one replaced. Inspecting Hand Tools • Regularly inspect tools for broken or missing pieces. – Inspect screws, nuts, bolts and moveable parts to make sure they are tightened. – Check handles for cracks and splinters. – Never use tape to fix a handle; it is a direct OSHA violation. X • Do not use damaged tools. – Take the tool out of use , clearly label it and send it to the warehouse for repairs.

Space, Habitat and Isolation Are the Key Determinants of Tree Colonization by the Carpenter Ant in Plantation Forests
Article Space, Habitat and Isolation are the Key Determinants of Tree Colonization by the Carpenter Ant in Plantation Forests Adam Véle 1,2 and Jakub Horák 1,3,* 1 Department of Forest Protection and Entomology, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Kamýcká 1176, CZ-165 21 Prague, Czech Republic 2 Forestry & Game Management Research Institute, Strnady 136, CZ-252 02 Jílovištˇe,Czech Republic 3 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Hradec Králové, Rokitanského 62, CZ-500 03 Hradec Králové, Czech Republic * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 June 2019; Accepted: 25 July 2019; Published: 27 July 2019 Abstract: Forest plantations are still often considered the antithesis of real nature. However, plantations can host many organisms. The problem is that some of the hosted species are regarded ad hoc as pests. The main aim of our paper was to study the carpenter ant (Camponotus ligniperdus) in windstorm habitats. We studied forests in East Bohemia, Czech Republic, and focused on the spatial distribution of snapped trees and the inﬂuence of selected forest characteristics on the incidence of ant nests. We found that the nests in the study area mainly occurred in Norway spruce, which is the most commercially important tree in the majority of Central Europe. More than one quarter of the snapped trees were inhabited by the ants. We found that nests exhibited a spatially autocorrelated pattern that diﬀered on spatial scales. The most important characteristic of the host tree for determining carpenter ant nests was the presence of brown rot, and the majority of tree nests were isolated from forest openings.

A Circular Saw in the Furniture Shop?
A Circular Saw in the Furniture Shop? YOU ARE HERE: Fine Woodworking Home Skills & Techniques A Circular Saw in the Furniture Shop? From the pages of Fine Woodworking Magazine A Circular Saw in the Furniture Shop? For cutting sheet goods in tight quarters, this carpenter's tool, used with a sacrificial table and dedicated cutting guides, produces joint-quality cuts with ease by Gary Williams Contractors couldn't live without the portable circular saw, but we of the warm, dry furniture shop tend to leave it on the same shelf as the chainsaw. Great for building a deck but far too crude for quartersawn oak. Necessity has a way of teaching us humility, however. I've been a sometimes-professional woodworker for nearly 30 years, but somehow I have never managed to attain the supremely well-equipped shop. I work alone in a no-frills, two-car garage that I share with a washer, a dryer, a water heater and a black Labrador. My machines are on the small side, and I lack the space for large permanent outfeed and side extension tables for my tablesaw. Perhaps you can relate. Under these conditions, cutting a full sheet of plywood can be a very challenging operation. Even if you have your shop set up to handle sheet goods with ease, perhaps you've run into similar difficulties cutting plywood and lumber accurately on job sites and installations. The solution? May I suggest the humble circular saw? Cutting lumber and plywood with a handheld circular saw is nothing new. You've probably done it before, with varying degrees of success.

TABLE (CIRCULAR) SAW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. the Saw Blade
TABLE (CIRCULAR) SAW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. The saw blade should be raised no more than 1/8 inch above the stock. 2. The material edge that is held against the rip fence or miter gauge should be straight. 3. Be sure the blade does not contact the throat plate, the fence, or the guard before the power is turned on. 4. Clamp stop blocks to the table to prevent kickbacks before lowering material into the blade. 5. Do not use a dull blade. A dull blade tries to lift the work and throw it out of the machine. With a dull blade, you must push the work much harder and your hands are more likely to slip off of your work. 6. Resawing is not permitted on the table saw. 7. It is unsafe to cut round stock on the table (circular) saw. 8. Do not use both the rip fence and the miter gauge at the same time while cutting stock. 9. You must use a clearance block clamped to the fence for a stop block when using the miter gauge to make multiple cuts of the same length. 10. Use a push stick when ripping material less than 4 inches wide. 11. Ripping of any material less than 2 inches wide must be done by the instructor. 12. Do not stand in line with the blade while starting and operating the table (circular) saw. 13. Do not crowd or bind the saw blade. The work may break or be thrown from the machine and your hands may slip into the blade.

Woodworking Glossary, a Comprehensive List of Woodworking Terms and Their Definitions That Will Help You Understand More About Woodworking
Welcome to the Woodworking Glossary, a comprehensive list of woodworking terms and their definitions that will help you understand more about woodworking. Each word has a complete definition, and several have links to other pages that further explain the term. Enjoy. Woodworking Glossary A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z | #'s | A | A-Frame This is a common and strong building and construction shape where you place two side pieces in the orientation of the legs of a letter "A" shape, and then cross brace the middle. This is useful on project ends, and bases where strength is needed. Abrasive Abrasive is a term use to describe sandpaper typically. This is a material that grinds or abrades material, most commonly wood, to change the surface texture. Using Abrasive papers means using sandpaper in most cases, and you can use it on wood, or on a finish in between coats or for leveling. Absolute Humidity The absolute humidity of the air is a measurement of the amount of water that is in the air. This is without regard to the temperature, and is a measure of how much water vapor is being held in the surrounding air. Acetone Acetone is a solvent that you can use to clean parts, or remove grease. Acetone is useful for removing and cutting grease on a wooden bench top that has become contaminated with oil. Across the Grain When looking at the grain of a piece of wood, if you were to scratch the piece perpendicular to the direction of the grain, this would be an across the grain scratch.
