What - non Festool - tool / workshop related gizmo/stuff did you buy today?

[Mike Goetzke]

Well I was weak today and bought the color touchscreen upgrade for my Nova Voyager drill press (15% off and free shipping right now). I love the DP except for the 20th century dot-matrix display and lack of integrated work light.

That’s the one! Another positive experience with the us distributor, Timberwolf, as well. I had the item in hand less than 48 hours of placing my order.

That’s very tempting even though I already have the Flexi-Guide. Such a compact solution to crosscutting ply in the field.

I've been very satisfied with the service I've received from Timberwolf...they're definitely "white hat" folks.

Please let us know if you think it’s worth it when you get a chance to try it (and some photos please).

When I returned my defective doweler to them they discovered that the problem was trivial, fixed it, and offered to send it back to me for free if I wanted.

I assume you're talking about this item. However, as I no longer do off-site work, I no longer feel the need. It is pretty sweet though...

It would also be great for breaking down plywood at the supplier’s place if your vehicle can’t carry the whole thing.

Can you describe the difference between the three “joiners” supplied in this kit $300 kit compared to the standard $109 units?

Got some new piher maxipress clamps. They have handles that swivel to 90 degrees which are more comfortable for me to use.
They don't fit in the clamp racks I've made

Made my weekly stop at The ReStore and some old woodworker had gotten rid of his stuff.

Couldn’t find a brand on the protractor square but it feels sizeable, the brace is also very robust feeling, don’t know what that file-looking thing is but it’s three sided and smooth, I thought the chisel thing might have been a router plane blade but it’s not flat, and I couldn’t find the coffin plane parts but thought that if I do go to the CRAFTS NJ show this weekend, some vendor might have the iron.

The 3-sided file is a deburring tool for metal.

Thanks! I knew someone here had to know what that is for.

Originally, and yours certainly fits that category, these tools were all hand made as they started with a 3-sided file because of the metal toughness. The file would be ground on each side on a grinding wheel to remove the file teeth and to produce a concave surface which yielded a nice sharp edge where the corners met.
At some point, maybe 15-20 years ago, these became commercially available and then were fabricated from file blanks to shorten the process and reduce the cost. I've made 2 of them and purchased 1 of them. They are still one of my favorite deburring tools despite having several Shaviv's and other items. They work exceptionally well on aluminum, for holes or edges...try it the next time.
