  • Startling at the Least, Injury- Causing at Worst, Kickback Can Happen on A
    Kicking Kickback tartling at the least, injury- causing at worst, kickback Scan happen on a variety of tools when a fast-spinning cutter grabs the workpiece and throws it back at the operator. Understand- ing why it happens is the first step in preventing damage to your tools, project parts, and body parts. Then by tuning and using your tools properly, you can prevent it. In this article, we’ll look at four tools prone to kickback: tablesaw, router, mitersaw, and jointer. Regardless of the tool, always keep blades and bits sharp and clean to reduce friction. That keeps the cut- ter moving easily through the wood instead of grabbing at it, and contributing to kickback. 46 WOOD magazine Dec/Jan 2012/2013 Tame the tablesaw hen mentioning kickback, wood- knife or splitter prevents both the cutoff Wworkers often think of the tablesaw and the keeper from wandering into the Give kickback first because it can turn small or large blade’s rear teeth.

  • 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.

Forrest Dado King With six chippers, two 24-tooth outside blades, and a full quota of shims, Forrest Manufacturing Company’s 8" Dado King mills grooves (with the grain) and dadoes (across the grain) from 1/8" to 29/32" wide. In all of our tests, this set deliv- ered perfectly flat-bottomed grooves in every material. Equipped with C-4 carbide tips, the Dado King promises long intervals between sharpening, even when its primary use is on dense fiberboards and other hard composites. Each of the two trim saws – the circular outside blades – has 24 carbide tips.

  • Saws from Festool. We Are Taking Over the Lead
    SAWING Product range Saws from Festool. We are taking over the lead. Perfection is our declared aim. If there will perhaps never be the perfect saw, we have already made history along the way: for example with the guide rail and the splinterguard for circu- lar saws, the triple saw blade guide for pendulum jigsaws or the twin column guide with two bearings for the KAPEX sliding compound mitre saws. We have learnt one thing from this: It is better to set standards than to following existing trends. Our engineers are the driving force behind all innovations. And, of course, our customers. Because only you can show us the way – to tools that are ergo- nomic in shape, lightweight, powerful and operate intuitively. In brief: to a sophisticated and well-thought out system that makes your work decisively easier. We shall remain true to this principle in the future: whether it be through the intensified use of our EC-TEC motor concept and the battery technology in the area of sawing or through further developments that meet our toughest demands. But for all the praise for our products receive here is constantly that little bit of self-criticism. An essential requirement for our aim: the construction of the perfect tool.
