| Milwaukee Multi Base Router Kit |
 |
Complimenting their popular BodyGrip® fixed
base router,
Milwaukee Electric Tool introduces two new fixed and plunge
base router kits complete with 1-3/4 or 2-1/4 HP motors designed
for high-end woodworking and production environments.
The new plunge router base features high-precision components
for smooth plunge action and ergonomic tactile grips oriented to
provide superior comfort. A clear sub-base provides added
visibility when routing along the work surface.
The fixed router base, which features an accurate linear depth
adjustment system and a patented above-the-table depth
adjustment system, is ideal for router table applications. The
popular BodyGrip design features a comfortable over-molded
rubber grip with an adjustable hand strap to allow for left and
right-handed operation, and two over-molded palm-grip side
handles for superior comfort, maneuverability and control.
The 5615-24 kit features a 1-3/4 HP, 11 amp, 24,000 RPM
Milwaukee motor, the exclusive linear depth adjustment system
and 1/4" and 1/2" premium self-releasing collets.
The 5616-24 kit includes a 2-1/4 HP, 13 amp, 10,000-24,000 RPM
Milwaukee motor and an exclusive motor contamination shield
designed to minimize damage and maximize airflow. It features 36
distinct speed settings, soft-start technology and electronic
motor feedback circuitry. |

| Leigh Industries to Announce New Core
Products |
 |
If you are an avid router user, then you've
undoubtedly heard of (or you own) one or more Leigh
Jigs - the DR4 or D1600 dovetail jigs, or the FMT frame
mortise and tenon jig.
Virtually everyone who has reviewed these products has rated
them as best on the market.
Dare we expect more from Leigh Industries? Apparently so.
Matthew Grisley, president of Leigh Industries, has just
announced that there will be "four amazing new core products"
coming out of their Port Coquitlam, BC, plant to mark Leigh's
25th year serving the woodworking community.
We'll bring you the details on these new products in an upcoming
issue of Canadian Woodworking Magazine, and in this newsletter. |

| Posichuck Lathe Chuck |
 |
PosiChuck Tools, out of Roseneath, ON, is pleased to announce its
self-centering, self adjusting lathe chuck.
The cast aluminum Posichuck is drilled and tapped so that you
can bolt it to any 3" faceplate.
The tapered square recess accepts stock from 1" to just over 1
3/4" square. Just put your stock into the square recess, and
then adjust the tailstock tension to secure your stock in place.

| Forrest Concave Face Blade |
 |
Forrest Manufacturing’s unique hollow-concave face grind
produces chip-free cuts on both sides of melamine board, one of
the most common products used in kitchen cabinetmaking shops,
but also one of the most difficult to cut without chipping.
It's ideal for all types of particle board laminates, and for
cutting foam core moldings.
The plate is hand straightened and has exceptional perimeter
concentricity and side run out. Tipped with corrosion resistant,
C-4 micrograin carbide teeth and sharpened with specially-made
diamond grit grinding wheels, the Concave Face is 40% stronger
and lasts up to 300% longer between sharpening than other blades
used for particle board laminates.
The Concave Face blade comes in metric and standard sizes with a
choice of 48, 50, and 60 teeth, and 30 mm, 5/8", and 1" center
hole sizes. The 48- and 60-teeth blades are ideal for cutting
flake board laminates. For polystyrene foam core moldings, the
50- and 60-teeth metric and 48- and 60-teeth standard blades are
recommended. |

| Veritas Left Hand Iron Edge-Trimming
Plane |
 |
Last fall
Lee Valley
Tools (Veritas) introduced a new iron edge-trimming plane,
which we reviewed in the
Nov 2006 eNewsletter.
The thoughtful folks at Veritas have now introduced a version of
this highly functional plane for left handed woodworkers.
Of course, you don't have to be a lefty to justify buying this
plane for your collection. If you have a board with grain
running in two different directions, and only one reference face
(such as on molding), then you'll be glad to have a 'matched
set' of trimming planes.
Buy the left edge plane or the set and save about 17% on the
regular price until May 31. |
