  • Chamfer Plane

    Chamfer Plane

    Chamfer Plane Christopher Swingley Introduction These plans are for a wooden chamfer plane modelled after the chamfer plane shown in Making Traditional Wooden Planes by John M. Whelan. My plans differ slightly because I used a two piece laminated plane body instead of the single block used by Whelan. My plane iron is a bit wider than his, so my plane body is also slightly larger. Detailed instructions on plane making appear in Whelan’s book and should be consulted as a supplement to these plans. Plans The first set of plans show the body of the plane. Two pegs through the body will strengthen the connection between the halves of the body. Constructing the plane this way is much easier because we can saw and chisel the mortise. 6 3/4" 2 1/2" 2" 1 7/8" 2 7/8" 1 1/4" Left half Left half Right half Interior side Heel Mortise 2 3/4" 2 3/4" 7/8" Heel Toe 1 3/4" 3 7/8" 1 7/8" 1" 3/8" Left half 7/8" Bottom side 1 1/4" 3/8" The following diagrams show the dimensions of the stop that forms the throat in front of the iron.

  • Power Tool Guide 05J50.01

    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.

We suggest that you reread those, in addition to these listed here before you begin to use this product. To use this product safely, always follow both sets of safety and general instructions. 1.

    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

    Scroll Saw Safety

    Clover Safe ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY Clover Safe notes are intended primarily for 4-H volunteers and members nine years and older #95 SCROLL SAW SAFETY Scroll saws are not considered as dangerous as other types of power saws, such as band saws or table saws. However, scroll saw users should keep in mind that during 2009 power saws were involved in more than 35,000 injuries (U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission data) where people received hospital treatment. Most scroll saw injuries are lacerations to the fingers and hands resulting from contact with the moving saw blade. By following the precautions given in this Clover Safe note, users should be prepared to prevent Drawing Courtesy of Federal OSHA inadvertent scroll saw injuries. Pre-Use Activities Thoroughly review and understand information provided in the scroll saw operator’s manual with particular attention given to descriptions of safety procedures. Before using, always inspect the scroll saw for damage or disrepair. In addition, assure the blade teeth are pointing down and saw blade is undamaged, sharp, and properly secured in a vertical position. Inspect the electrical cord and plug for defects. If the scroll saw fails your inspection, inform your group leader, parent, or guardian and remove it from use until it can be repaired. Operating Precautions Always wear a face shield or safety glasses when using a band saw. As appropriate, wear a dust mask and/or suitable hearing protection. Never wear gloves, a tie, loose clothing, a watch, rings, or jewelry when using a scroll saw. Tie long hair back or secure under a cap.

  • Safe Hand Tool and Portable Power Tool Use and Inspections

    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.
