woodezine - Volume II - Issue VII - July 2004

The Woodezine HOT News sticker appears throughout our news pages.
It means that a company only announced their new product a few days before this issue went live,
so this is almost certainly the very first magazine anywhere in the world to publish it.



New Micro Stop for Woodrat
The Craftsman Gallery has introduced a micro-adjustable stop that works with the WoodRat WR5 joinery machine for exceptional accuracy in joinery operations. A knurled adjustment screw is marked in 1/128" increments, but you can interpolate between marks for even finer adjustment. When cutting tenons or sliding dovetails, just micro-adjust the cut for a perfect fit. The WoodRat is a machine that works with a router to joint wood and is capable of handling a wide variety of woodworking joints. Unlike a router table, the router is mounted upright, the machine holds the work, and you can see the cut as it is being made.

Revolutionary New Router Base Plate
THREE tools for the price of one.
A new router base plate from Practical Technologies has highly impressed the editors here at Woodezine. PT's new Multi-function Router Base Plate and Circle Jig is the industry's only multi-function router base plate with so many useful features, including the speed in which it converts for other uses, and how compact it is. Although only 7" in diameter, it can smoothly and accurately cut circles from 2" to over 18". It will cut wheels less than 1" diameter and is infinitely adjustable within its range. It can be adjusted quickly and easily and comes with a fence to make straight cuts. If your need is to use a template to make special cuts or multiple cuts of the same shape, you can add a template bushing to the center hole. Any of these conversions can be made in about 45 seconds or less without having to remove the base plate. The Multi-Function Base Plate is available for $49.99.

Best Chance Ever to buy a Panel Saw
Safety Speed Cut's brand new Web site is offering a special package to online shoppers only. It's a great way to buy their Panel Pro panel saw with an accessory package which includes wheels and both vertical and horizontal rulers... all at a reduced price. The new site also accommodates existing customers who are looking to enhance their machine, register it for warranty, get a manual or just need some additional information. The Panel Pro is an economical panel saw that makes it easy to handle those big sheets of wood or plastic and cut them accurately. If you have tried to cut 4x8 or 4x4 panels with a hand held saw or table saw, you know how difficult it is to support the sheet and push it through safely and accurately, especially since the saw blade is exposed above the sheet surface. With Panel Pro, the running saw blade is positioned behind the sliding carriage to avoid potential operator contact and the vertical frame supports the panel while you safely make the cut.

Gorilla Glue is Stuck in First Place

Last month, Gorilla Glue captured the award for highest quality as rated by professional builders in Builder magazine's 2004 Brand Use Study. Conducted by an independent research firm, Builder collected feedback from over 2,000 professional residential builders to determine the products they recognize most, use most and rate highest in quality. Gorilla Glue topped the charts for quality in the caulks and sealants category, besting 23 industry competitors.

Gorilla Glue is an incredibly versatile, 100-percent waterproof adhesive that can bond wood, stone, metal, ceramics, solid surface material, foam board and more. A little Gorilla Glue goes a long way - it takes just one ounce of Gorilla Glue to cover one square foot, providing three to four times the coverage of other glue.

New Tips and Handpiece for Woodburning System

Detail Master has come out with a new Version 2.0 replaceable handpiece and Version 2.0 tips that operate much cooler than their original version. That's because the connection is silver brazed outside the handpiece. The tips for the two versions are not interchangeable, but Detail Master will convert an existing version 1.0 handpiece to version 2.0 for a nominal fee of $7.95 plus shipping. You can send the handpiece to Leisure Time Products, Inc. 2650 Davisson St. River Grove, IL 60171. Tel: 1 (708) 452-5400.
