For pro users seeking the clear line-of-sight of an in-line
design circular saw and the maneuverability and value of a

power and durability, the CS5 is designed specifically to give
core users the key features they need in a circular saw.

the fastest cutting saw in its class. It offers a 56°
bevel capacity, an anti-snag lower guard, and an improved spindle lock.

New Joinery System from CMT |
Available at tool and equipment
suppliers across Canada
or call
336-854-0201 |
The new ENLOCK system from
CMT creates
fast, simple rock solid joinery for a range of woodworking
projects. At the heart of the jig, there is a CMT pattern style
dovetail bit (one for 3/8" keys and one for 1/2" keys). The
bearing on the dovetail bit rides in and out of the dovetail
socket guide on the Enlock table and it cuts perfect dovetail
sockets every time.
The keys consist of two components. They are the cap that
contains
wedge like prongs and the base that accepts the cap. When the
cap prongs are driven into the base, the base expands and
secures and locks inside the dovetail socket. The material can
be centered in the jig by utilizing the left and right rulers
built into the jig face or the rulers can be used to set the
stops. The dimension of the ruler indicates the precise distance
to the center of the dovetail socket. There is also a 45° fence
and stop system included with the jig for joining mitered
materials. The ENLOCK System is ideal for joining T joints,
corner joints, miter joints and it is perfect for clamp free
edge to edge joinery. Comes equipped with the ENLOCK Jig, one
3/8" top bearing dovetail bit a starter bag of fifty 3/8”
dovetail keys, fence extension clamp, detailed instruction
booklet, instructional DVD and a sturdy orange carrying case.
Street price is $229.00.

Duraline
Available from
Lee Valley Tools |
Forrest
Manufacturing offers state-of-the-art, in-factory sharpening
services for its own carbide-tipped saw blades, as well as
blades produced by other manufacturers. According to Jay
Forrest, company vice president, “We feel it’s absolutely
necessary to offer sharpening as a service to our customers.
High-quality blades deserve high-quality sharpening to maintain
their performance.”
Forrest uses automated, high-speed, diamond-grit grinding
machines to sharpen its blades, ensuring that all saw teeth are
concentric. Dado sets are sharpened by hand to achieve equal
diameters for all blades. The results in either case are blades
with cutting abilities similar to those of brand new blades.
Sharpening costs range from $20.50 for a 10-inch blade with 40
teeth, to $59.50 for dado sets. Shipping and other services,
such as repairing broken teeth, are extra. Turnaround time is
usually about seven days. |
