Too interesting to leave buried in the catch all topic.

I picked up Wera Zyklop 3/8" ratchet to keep in the car.

Added a Ridgid R5500 wall mounted shop vac to the shop for basic cleanup so I can keep my second CT33 connected to the dedicated OF1010 at the Schmitt32 station permanently.

My wife thinks 4 vacs (CT15, 2xCT33, and R5500) and a 3hp cyclone in the shop are overkill but since my shop is in the basement, it's better than complaints about dust in the house.

A Forrest Chopmaster 90 tooth blade for my Kapex...spendy but the cut quality is wonderful.

I had the 12-inch Chopmaster on my DeWalt DWS780 and loved it.  It was too big for the new Kapex, so it went with the DeWalt when I sold it.

The Forrest website states there is a five-month shipping delay now. and Slivers Mill is out of stock for the 80T.  [mad]

I was able to get the blade from Forrest through Amazon with 2 day delivery.

I picked up a Veto CP4 Pouch and a set of PB5 Small Parts Bags.

Yikes... [eek]...maybe now's the right time to sell a couple of extras that I have.  [smile]

That's about the wait on a Festool 577157  [tongue]

I've been on a bit of a buying spree for things I need to work on my bench project:

WEN 4212 keyless 10" drill press - had originally ordered a Nova Viking for $200 off last weekend but canceled. I don't require all that fancy tech and I was worried about the electronics failing on me 10, 20, 30 years from now and being left with a paperweight.
WEN drill press table
Rockler forstner bit set
Incra Miter 1000SE - side note I had one and sold it because I didn't use it, and am now buying it again.
Freud box joint cutter blade

The freud blade will allow me to more easily cut tenons on my DW745 table saw. It doesn't accept dado blades but it does accept the freud blade kit which has two preset widths 1/4" and 3/8" and has a flat grind so it should work great for doing the tenons.

Did not buy the SawStop ICS today, but it was picked up by the carrier this morning.

Was going to build a workbench like [member=65062]DynaGlide[/member]  is doing but this came up on Craigslist and for the price I couldn't pass it up.  Its heavy as **** and built like a tank.  I can't get it to rack left to right or front to back.  Vises work good.  Only possible issue is the height of it. Its 36" and I'm 5'8" so maybe an inch too tall.  Thinking of putting out rubber mats around it to counter that a bit.

Also picked up some red stuff yesterday.

Are those dog holes, or dust extraction ports?!?

Haha.  Those are dog holes.  30mm inside and larger towards the top.  Dog holes are in the picture

Not a tool or gizmo, but I heard this book mentioned on a recent Fine Woodworking podcast and looked it up. I found a used copy of the 1970 edition for $7. The dust jacket is kinda beat up but all the pages are intact. It would've been cool to find some old handwritten notes in the margins but all the pages were clean. Should be an interesting resource to reference from time to time.

That book is a good record of the state is woodworking in the UK about a century ago. You might on occasion need to ask one of our UK members what a specific term means.

Likely the previous owner drilled them large to "straighten" the angled mortises for the square dogs that came with the bench.

I bought these vises for my upcoming bench build.

My kids were very excited when I opened up the box. I thought they knew what HNT Gordon was, but no... They were excited for the packing peanuts that dissolve in water that the vises shipped with.  :

I ordered it on Monday; it arrived yesterday; I used it today:

It is the CMT routers template.  I ordered the 1200 (the video shows the 1000 model).  The 1000 is one meter long.  The 1200 is 4 feet long. 

I needed to cut an arc on a piece of trim.  I could have fabricated a rather long arm on my router to cut a true arc.  It would have be be 10 or 12 feet long.  Aside from determining the actual radius (which would have been tedious) a arm that long would be unusable in my shop.

I first drew the arc.  Then rough cut the sharp with a jig saw.  Then finished it on the router table using the CMT-TMP 1200 is $62.00 from Amazon.com.  It worked just like in the video.  I’m sure I will use it again in the future.

I used 1-1/4” #6 dry wall screws.  I left the screws in the jig for future use.  The resin takes a set if you leave it curled up.  I drove a screw at one end into a joist in the basement and hung it up.  I am allowing it to relax.  Eventually it will probably straighten out.

Very handy.
