| Pivot Square™ |
 |
At first glance, the new Pivot Square from
CH Hansen
resembles a traditional rafter square, but innovative additions
bring this tried and true layout tool into the 21st Century.
The Pivot Square features three UV resistant vials that quickly
and easily determine roof pitches and angles, indicate grade,
facilitate miter cuts and allow for leveling and plumbing cuts.
Additionally, the Pivot Square includes a locking mechanism that
sets the square at a specific angle for accurately marking
repetitive cut lines in either degrees or roof pitches. The
Pivot Square is extremely durable and made from finest machined
aluminum alloy.
It comes with a copy of 'The Expert Guide To Roof Construction
And Framing' by John Carroll, along with a storage case, belt
clip and carpentry pencil. Available from Home Depot, Home
Hardware and soon to arrive Lowe's.

| Forrest Finger Joint Blade Set |
 |
Check out the new two-piece Finger Joint Set
from
Forrest Manufacturing, specifically designed for cutting
finger joints, rabbets, and square bottom grooves without
scoring or chipping.
Unlike dovetail joints, finger joints are square instead of
angled, usually evenly spaced, and require glue to hold
together. While a conventional dado set can leave scoring marks
on finger joints, this new Forrest blade set delivers clean cut
rips with the grain of the wood.
The Finger Joint Set consists of two reversible, interlocking,
8" blades with 24 teeth each and a standard 5/8" bore. The
blades can be reversed to make 1/4" and 3/8" cuts.
These blades are made with high-grade carbide tips and are hand
straightened to ensure perfect flatness. Their exceptional
perimeter concentricity produces a side run out of +/- .001" for
precision cutting - expect a 50% to 300% longer life between
sharpenings. |
