MLCS 9167 Safety Push Block and Stick Package, 5-Piece This instant


I use the L shaped push stick and the push pads all the time. I don't think I've ever used the long push stick, and I can't think of a situation where I'd use the double-handled push pad. When a friend of mine got a table saw I considered getting him this kit, and I realized that it would be more effective to just buy things I use individually.

It's not a bad kit, especially if you're not sure what you'll end up using, but like many "assortments", you end up paying for things that you don't want/need.Get more detail about MLCS 9167 Safety Push Block and Stick Package, 5-Piece.

Tajima CR202B-P Chalk-Rite II Ultra Thin Chalk Box Immediately


This is a great tool, I do a lot of lay out in a commercial setting for millwork and casework so a tight clean line is very important. Seems to be built tough enough and it's well thought out.

Crown Molding Templates Best Quality


These templates were a great help in keeping inside corner and outside corner miter cuts correct. One negative is that the templates would be more useful if they were larger (5"-6")Get more detail about Crown Molding Templates.

Delta 40-620 3 Dozen Assorted Scroll Saw Blades Get it now!


Recently purchased a Jet Scroll saw at a local store that came with a few blades. This being my first attempt at scrollsawing, I followed the instructions to a tee but the blades broke anyway. I decided to purchase these Delta blades online largely in part because there will be 3 dozen blades to "practice" on. Well, I seemed to be getting more than what I bargained for: either I improved quickly at the craft or these Delta blades are very sturdy! I have worked on quite a lot of pieces and i have yet to break a single blade (really!). I am very satisfied with this purchase and am recommending it to would be buyers. Just wished they can come in larger quantities and with different teeth sets on Amazon.

I recently ordered several dozen blades made by Olson and will be comparing it with Delta's. I will definitely post my review soon after.Get more detail about Delta 40-620 3 Dozen Assorted Scroll Saw Blades.

Porter-Cable 42690 Edge Guide (for Models 100, 690, 691, 693, 891, 892, 893 Routers) Order Now


I have the PC 892 router. The Edge Guide I received doesn't mention the 892. There is a new "42690" (Why PC uses the same model number is beyond me). The new version packaging does list the 892,893 routers and has a circle cutting attachment. (see Porter Cable website) The packaging is completely different in that it lists the other routers and the circle guide. Beware of what you get, I WANT THE NEWEST IF I'M SPENDING THE MONEY FOR IT; NOT THE "CLEAN-UP BOY", GETTING RID OF OLD STOCK. Just time wasted, I sent it back and have to order from someone else.Get more detail about Porter-Cable 42690 Edge Guide (for Models 100, 690, 691, 693, 891, 892, 893 Routers).
