They tell me that computers make life easier. I'm not so sure of this but I guess it's a matter of perception. It was brought to my attention that some of you have received multiple copies of our last eNewletter. I believe that we have rectified the problem but as they say 'the proof is in the pudding'. Please let me know if you receive multiple copies of this eNewsletter and I will try to sort things out. As for the last eNewsletter, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience that the technical 'hiccough' may have caused.
This month, we have a whole host of new products that have come available for you to take a look at. As well, we have a long-overdue review by Carl Duguay, of a dovetail saw made by Ed Paik, owner of Medallion Tools. Ed's work is incredible and it's easily one of the best saws I've ever tried. Finally, don't miss the tool tip this month on how to adjust your table saw's mitre gauge bar for a perfect, slop-free fit.

Work safe . . . work proud.

Forrest has come out with a new Signature Line saw blade. The Signature Line Chop Master features more teeth with newly angled carbide points to create less cutting pressure.  That makes it easier for the saw blade to penetrate wood – as well as composites – run cool, and cut smoothly at any angle without bottom splintering, side scoring or vibration.  The blade also has a smaller gullet – or valley between each tooth – making the blade cut quieter. The new Signature Line Chop Master has 90 teeth and -5° hook to control feed rate.  It is currently available in 10- and 12-inch diameters with 5/8- or one-inch center holes.  Custom sizes are also available. 
Like all Forrest blades, the Signature Line Chop Master features super hard, corrosion-resistant C-4 micro grain carbide saw blade tips that provide up to 300 percent longer life between sharpening.  Proprietary grinding techniques and hand straightening guarantee the finest cutting edges possible coupled with exceptional perimeter concentricity, perfect plate flatness, and side runout to +/- .001”.

LENOX introduces the new Snap-Back Arbor. The versatile design features drive-off pins to allow easy attachment and detachment from the saw with no need for adaptors. The drive-off pins also prevent the arbor from tightening on the saw during use, which in-turn prevents threads from stripping.
The unique design allows hole saws to be switched out much quicker than most other arbors on the market. The sleeve doesn’t need to be held back to engage/disengage the arbor and requires no secondary tightening; eliminating the need for yet another tool on the job.
“This arbor is designed to reduce the time and frustration commonly associated with hole saw use,” stated Anna Whitton, director of North American marketing, LENOX. “The LENOX Snap Back Arbor will definitely reduce the time and effort needed to do the job and the non-proprietary design can be used with any hole saw; no adaptors required.”
LENOX Snap-Back Arbors are available at LENOX distributors nationwide. For more information, visit lenoxtools.com
