StableMate PLUS100 Universal Miter Saw Stand

Cheap StableMate PLUS100 Universal Miter Saw Stand Review

I recently received the Stable Mate Plus and unfortunately a couple pieces were missing because the box split in shipping. I called the toll-free number inside the box and the parts arrived two days later...Bravo for customer service. I love this sturdy stand that does not rock back when I let go of my DeWalt Compound Miter. I am an avid woodworker with a complete shop. I ordered the wheel set along with the stand. Everyone should do this because moving this stand around is a cinch when the wheels are attached and they dont detract from its stability. This is one of the sturdiest stands I have experienced and would recommend it to anyone. If someone is going to use this from job site to job site, you may want to think twice. This is a solid piece of equipment and the picture does not do justice. It will withstand abuse.

Cheap Kreg Hex Shank Pocket-Hole Drill Bit Review

All of my drills have a hex shank bit quick-connect adapter. I LOVE the ability to quickly swap bits rather than having several drills chucked with individual bits for the project at hand. My drills are all cordless as well and swapping bits by chucking and unchucking wastes battery power; plus the additional wear and tear on the dril components.

Of course the Kreg bit fits perfectly into the Kreg jig and produces clean pocket holes as the stock bit. It also fits into the Kreg blow-molded case (without modification) for storage.

There is a Kreg Quick Change Pocket-Hole Bit Adapter that can be fastened to the end of a stock drill bit shaft, but you will have to modify the Kreg case in order to store it.

Woodhaven 4555 Box Joint Jig

Cheap Woodhaven 4555 Box Joint Jig Review

The instructions were shredded so I got duplicates from the manufactures web site. After initial set up the jig worked great and my first finger jointed drawers for a child's desk were perfect. I read an article in woodworking magazine on a finger jointed blanket chest where Chris Schwarz used thin viscosity super glue on the joints once the joints were together. The glue will seep into the assembled box joints and the method worked great without the mess of yellow glue as the tightness of the fit prevents glue from staying in the joint.

The metal finger joint spacer works because the wood spacer with shop made jigs will wear down after a short time and the successive joints become sloppy.

Read the instructions carefully and take time with test cuts.

This jig is less expensive than others and works great. You can use it on a router table or table saw. I used a Freud finger joint dado set which gave perfectly flat bottoms. A router table with a miter slot would work better - use a spiral cutter for efficient chip removal.

Good luck.

Cheap Makita 792736-2 10-Inch 24 Tooth ATB Ripping Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor Review

Bought 2 at this reasonable price. Great thin kerf blade with fine cut. Cuts as good as Frued blades I've paid 3 times as much for. The Makita seems to have a little more drag because it is not coated. I can feel the difference when ripping 3 1/2" thick pine.

Cheap HTC HTC2000 Universal Mobile Base Review

This trolley is exactly what was needed. I like many use my garage as my shop. My equipment shares space with the cars so it was imperative to make my heavy equipment mobile but at a reasonable price. It arrived well packaged and went together quickly. It is heavily built with large wheels for moving across expansion grooves in the floor. The three wheeled versions I had looked at had a single pedal to raise and lower the steering wheel but the tongue took up more space and the cost was higher. The only negative was they use soft metal bolts for the frame assembly so be careful on how much you tighten them. I snapped one head off. I would recommend bolting the equipment to the trolley rather than just setting it on it. It is a much more stable piece that way. I would (and probably will) buy this again.
