The following steps may have been done specifically on the Torque Workcentre, but they are equally relevant to many other tools as well. As I have often said, the digital angle gauge from Wixey (Oz supplier Professional Woodworker Supplies) is a shop apron tool. It is too useful not to have it with you at [...]

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 [...]

On Christmas Eve, the courier finally managed to locate and deliver the package from Torque Workcentre (TWC). Inside was a shorter main beam and a few other bits n pieces. I still have the 1300mm arm, which will prove invaluable when working with very large tops, and breaking down large sheet goods, but in a [...]

The UniLift precisely controls the height of your router bit, and by using a rule, or digital height scale you can get the height set very accurately, and also to change from one to the next. To take it to the next level, you can also fit a digital height gauge with remote readout directly [...]

When I first came across the Woodpeckers Router Lift, I had 2 thoughts – a really visually appealing piece of engineering, and not something that would be particularly useful for owners of a Triton Router (given its built-in geared height adjustment, and particularly the microadjuster). Times, and opinions change. What really bought my attention back [...]

I have, as you might have gathered, I have a number of Wixey Digital products (from PWS) in my shed, from the Angle Gauge that resides in my shop apron, to the digital height gauge, calipers, planer gauge, tablesaw gauge etc etc! The problem I have been having recently, is given they are all around [...]

At the Melbourne show, on the Professional Woodworkers Supplies stand, you will be able to see a prototype of the latest Wixey digital device, which gives you a remote readout for the router bit height on a router table. Basically, it connects to the table, and as you change the height, the readout gives you [...]

Firstly, I had a look in Bunnings at their version of the digital angle gauge. Not impressed. When you’ve tried the real deal, you’ll quickly get the feeling that there is something rather wrong with their version. I don’t have one to compare to test its accuracy, but it seemed to be a combination of [...]

The iPhone 2.0 software upgrade allows applications to be downloaded and run on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Quite a number of these use the device’s accelerometer to varying degrees of success. They certainly provide a new twist on interactions with the device (he he – sorry). There are a couple of programs out already [...]

I finally had a chance to get this mounted to the tablesaw, and it was a lot easier than I was imagining. Like the other items in the Wixey range, it comes from Professional Woodworkers Supplies, and cost just under $260. It looks a little daunting when you first open it – lots of small [...]

I’m not sure what it is that is driving me to seek ever increasing degrees of accuracy in my tools. Is it because I need everything to work perfectly to counteract my lack of skill and/or practice? Is it because I’m an engineer (in mind if not by vocation)? Or do I secretly wish I [...]
