Welcome to the Canadian Woodworking eNewsletter


SawStop has just introduced a new 10" Professional Cabinet Saw that features its innovative blade braking system. We had an opportunity to shop test the contractor model some time ago (check out our review by clicking here) and were quite impressed with it. This new cabinet saw looks like it will be a winner as well.

In this months eNewsletter you'll find also new products from Metabo, Stanley, VacuClamp, Rockler and Campbell Hausfeld.


Good woodworking!
