I know someone who searched high and low to solve this problem. He finally found this bit and it worked great for him.
I just about bought one until I realized it wasn't compatible with my splitter/riving knife. That's kind of a deal breaker for me. In fact, the splitter saved me tonight from a kickback when the...

I picked up a pack of the HD screws. Here are some pics of 2 1/2" pocket hole screws for scale. The tan one (left) is the Kreg HD #14, blue one (middle left) is the standard Kreg Blu Kote #8, the...
I got some of the Bessey Revo rebranded as Craftsman bars and clamp parts at Sears this summer. I cut some of the 24" bars in half with a sawzall to make some 10" clamps. These are the style where...
When Sears had all the Kreg screws on clearance I was a few days late to the party. I got some #10 SS 2 1/2", which I have given me stripping problems. The normal 2X4 Kreg screws are just #8, but I...
Like just about everybody who has tried it, I LOVE my Kreg jig. Now I see a beefed up version for 2X4's and can't help but get excited. That gets tempered by my disappointing with the Kreg Deck...
That might work. I'll try shimming with some masking tape or something.
Woodcraft.com was clearing them out a few years ago for $1 each. They were Akeda brand, intended for use in the Akeda dovetail jig. It's pretty short, no doubt for thin boxes.
The table is a friends who want to keep the piece in her family. Her kids apparently climbed on the mechanism without the leaf int he table and 2 of the pieces split. It's actually the female long...
The Orange Borg is clearing out a bunch of the Freud Diablo line, too. I recently picked up a cove bit for $12.
I'm trying to repair the leaf mechanism of a table and need to make a sliding dovetail piece. Does anyone know where I can find a 25 degree dovetail bit?
Thanks.
I'm building a swing set and using almost all stainless fasteners. Most of them have come from ebay. I foundt 11 lbs of SS deck screws for between $35, cheaper than I could have bought regular deck...
I've occasionally seen some Incra bargains on Craigslist and Ebay, but the good prices are seldom on the latest models.
You might also see if you can find a deal on the original Jessem...
First the bad news:
Strictly speaking, what you want to do is impossible. Once steel is bent, it has also stretched. It's kind of like really stiff taffy. The other issue is that the part that...
Your Woodcraft has clearance merchandise? That must be nice.
I just did some projects with the Weblos (10 yr old Cub Scouts). Most of them have a hard time driving finish nails in pine, so none of the tool boxes went together the least bit square.
For the...
I'd see if you can get the word out that your school could use some donated equipment. $250 is not enough just to buy basic project supplies. If you have 3 phase power avliable, you should be able...
I like my Ridgid R4511. If I were in a situation where other people were going to need to use and or care for my saw, I'd really hesitate to choose granite. If someone tried lifting the saw by the...
Get a hold of a large tree stump or 3, some hammers, and lots of inexpensive nails. The kids/teens/adults see how quickly they can pound a nail into the stump, or in the fewest number of hits. The...
You mean you can't get solid hardwood for about $1/bf?
My local Rockler has been getting in pallets full of 2-4ft long pieces of wood they sell for $1/board. Not board foot, but board. Most of...
Having not had great luck with borg plywood, I finally drove across town this month to buy a sheet of domestic red oak plywood from a hardwood dealer. It ran about $60/sheet versus the $45 at Lowes....
To keep a glue gun from dripping, it helps to pull back slightly on the glue stick before you set it down. If you are pushing it hard (which it sounds like you are) you will leave pressure in the...
If you just want general purpose deck/sheetrock style screws, Wal-Mart has a pretty good deal going. For just under $10 they have a tub with 4 different sizes. It probably works out to between 2...
