| New Product Offerings from Langevin &
Forest |
 |
Montreal based
Langevin
& Forest have added several new product lines for 2007.
These include the new Incra LS Super System 2000 precision fence
for router tables, drill presses or band saws. It enables
precise fence movements of up to 1/1000". (We`ll be looking at
the Super System in the June/July issue of Canadian Woodworking
Magazine).
They have expanded their line of Pfeil carving tools, including
the new shoulder knives. Shoulder knives are particularly suited
for making ornaments. The long and slender ash handle rests
against the carver`s shoulder allowing the blade to move with
precision and little effort. The shoulder knife is available
with a straight or curved blade.
Their line of Japanese saws include Azebiki, Dozuki and Ryoba
style saws. The thinner, harder blades allow for smooth and
accurate cuts with less effort than Western style saws. |

| Ridgid R2600 Shop Vacuum |
|
The Ridge Tool Company have announced two new
Ridgid brand
industrial two-stage wet/dry vacuums, designed specifically for
clean up of heavy debris and liquids - the 14-gallon (Model No.
RV2400A) and the 16-gallon (Model No. RV2600B) drum (shown).
The stronger, quieter RV two-stage proprietary motor series and
its patented blower wheel are designed to handle heavy debris
and liquid more quickly and efficiently.
A three-layer pleated filter has a large surface area for
increased motor efficiency and long life. The two models convert
to a blower, with 150 mph blowing velocity.
Both models feature a rugged polypropylene drum, which is impact
and corrosion resistant, as well as a durable two-layer ProHose
that is 10 feet long. Combined with the vacuums longer, 25-foot
power cord, the user can cover more of the jobsite.
An automatic suction shut-off function senses and prevents
liquid overflow. The integral plug makes draining the vacuum
quick and easy. |

| Tormek Truing and Dressing Tool |
 |
TORMEK has
developed a new Truing and Dressing Tool with screw feed for its
water cooled sharpening system.
You can feed the diamond cutter tip across the stone with a
built in screw feed. The conventional way is that you press with
your thumb to feed the cutter across the stone, which can
sometimes be a problem.
The new tool TT-50 both trues the stone exactly round and
dresses the surface flat without leaving ridges.
The other benefit is that the TT-50 is locked on the Universal
Support of the machine, which means that the cutting depth can
conveniently be set with high precision using the Micro Adjust.
Due to the screw feed, you can decide the character of the stone
by altering the speed of the feed. At the normal feed speed of
90 seconds across the stone, you achieve a smooth surface. If
you need a coarser surface for faster steel removal, you
increase the feed speed to 30 seconds across the stone. A faster
steel removal is beneficial when grinding HSS tools with a large
bevel area.
If you are an owner of the ADV-50 Truing Tool you can purchase
the TT-50U without the diamond cutting tip at a reduced price
and mount your existing cutter tip.
