When using a featherboard, you normally don’t get to choose how stiff the fingers are – they are what they are. When you put the featherboard into operation, it is pushed up against the workpiece until the desired deflection is achieved. However, if you find it isn’t right, you have to start again with its [...]

The Science of Inaccuracy Ever drilled a hole with a bit that was meant to be ‘exactly’ the right size, only to find the hole either too large, or too small? Ever taken every care measuring the length of board to be cut, and found the result disappointingly long, or worse, too short? Just how [...]

It’s only been 4 months since I got this set of steak knives from Professional Woodworker Supplies. That is a pretty quick turnaround time for me these days! Everything hasn’t gone to plan though, as I will elaborate, but I got close to achieving a good result. I don’t like accepting a compromise – it [...]

Went ahead with the plan to re-establish a separate router table, and using the Incra Router Table stand as the base. Step one was putting the base together. It comes in a pretty compact form. Lots of screws! I also decided to get the optional wheel kit. Typical of Incra, the basis for the router [...]

Not sure how he did it, but Lazy Larry managed to pick up a new Incra 17″ LS Positioner, including a metric upgrade from Carbatec Brisbane for all of $260. Some pretty amazing bargains out there sometimes – guess it is a matter of keeping one’s eyes peeled! Bet Larry will get a lot out [...]

Heard a rumour recently (actually more than a rumour – if it happens to be dropped into conversation by Professional Woodworkers Supplies, then it is a fait accompli), that along with the recent release by Incra of their top-line products with a metric version, the HingeCrafter is also going to have a metric version. The [...]

Found these photos of a memorabilia chest on the Incra Website – some beautiful work made in Spalted Maple, including the hinges. The gentleman who created it worked for years on the Stealth Bomber program, and collected many souvenirs from the program. Stunning timber, superb chest. I like the idea of it as well as [...]

A little while ago I mentioned that Incra now has metric versions of the LS Positioner – something I was not expecting would actually ever exist, but now does! The big resistance has always been that router bits, and in particular dovetail bits were imperial and therefore would be incompatible with a metric positioner. In [...]

ROCKIN’!! What am I talking about? Incra. The Incra LS Positioner is now available in a metric version, and for people in countries that primarily use a metric system, being able to get what I consider the best router fence out there in a metric version just makes the best system even better. The big [...]

During my recent update of the Tools page, I was surprised to note that I hadn’t actually made direct mention of some of my favourite markup tools in the workshop – the Incra Rules. The underlying principle of these rules is they have extremely accurately drilled holes at every measurement point, which are just the [...]

After playing around with the ability to angle tools to the workpiece on the Torque yesterday, I’ve had another thought. I was chatting to Larry (Lazy Larry (QLD)) about surfacing and it is very much trial and error to get the cutting plane of the surface mill bit parallel to the X & Y directions [...]

I guess from recent articles that you’ve been able to determine my opinion of the Torque Workcentre! With the Christmas madness coming to an end for another year, I’m going to (please, hopefully), have some more time to get some new videos made, and the Torque will definitely be featured in some of those! In [...]
