DEWALT DW7232 Miter Saw, The DW7232 can help reduce..

The DW7232 can help reduce your setup
I have the Dewalt miter stand that included two DW7232 stands however I was doing a large project that needed multiple stops both long and short. Instead of moving the existing DW7232 stands around constantly I added two more of the DW7232’s on the main rail and was able [...]

Work Sharp WS3000 Wood, Very effective tool

Very effective tool
I bought one on the strength of almost universally laudatory reviews elsewhere. It certainly works for me- I’m a mediocre sharpener, it turns out, when I’m left to my own devices, or even to the devices many others are successful with. I have a Veritas MKII honing guide, and I can usually get [...]

PSI Woodworking LR110-3, great addition to any dust..

great addition to any dust collection system
I bought this product for use with my Delta 1 1/2 HP dust collector, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Installation is simple (just plug the receiver into the wall, then plug the dust collector into the outlet on the receiver), and a wall mounting bracket is [...]

I purchased the Kreg Jig & Fixture bar to build a panel cutting jig for my Rockwell table saw. The Kreg bar comes with a series of threaded holes along the bar into which nylon set screws can be inserted. This feature allows a snug fit in all miter slots. [...]

Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch, Great Saw, Great Amazon..

Great Saw, Great Amazon Price!~
I bought this same saw about a year ago at Lowes, I paid something like $150 for it. It’s a great saw, really smooth and comfortable to use. Works great for cutting trim boards, but I’ve also used it as a chop saw to cut 2×6’s, it doesn’t bog [...]

Align-Rite DG-101 Drill, REPLACE THOSE HAND-MADE JIGS

REPLACE THOSE HAND-MADE JIGS

Swanson Tool SO101, A must own for the framer..

A must own for the framer or homeowner
Every carpenter I know carries one of these in his belt, yet few of them actually use it for framing calculations- they use larger squares for that. So what’s the attraction? Simple. By bracing the raised edge along a piece of wood, you can make pefectly square cuts [...]

Marples M444/SB6 6-Piece, Four and a half stars..

Four and a half stars really…
These chisels are a great value for the money. The other reviewers are correct, these are easy to sharpen and they do hold an edge fairly well. The handles feel extremely cheap, but I have been using a rubber hammer to strike the handles with and they are [...]

Weller WSB25WB 25-Watt, one-use tool

one-use tool
This worked pretty good the first day I used it, but now it doesn’t get near hot enough to be worth it. I’m talking about 5 minutes to make one simple 4 inch line!
Update (2/5/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for [...]
