Buying a Woodworking Jointer

Buying a Working Jointer.

A woodworking jointer is a must whether
it is in a small shop or a huge cabinet
shop. Many people feel that if you own
a planer you do not need a woodworking
jointer. Planers are used to reduce
your wood and to smooth a board. A
Jointer is needed to flatten and square
the board in order for the planer to do
its job. It also has many versatile jobs.
Rabbits, bevel cuts, round tenons,
tapered cuts are all specialties that
can be done on your jointer.

Jointer, 1.5 HP, 230V



For larger shops and cabinetwork the
stationary woodworking jointers are a
must. There are many high quality
machines that can be bought. Look for
the good points that make them easier
and more efficient to use. Some of the
things that many woodworkers look for
is the ease of adjusting the infeed table.
Remember the more jointer knives that
cut the wood the better the finish. Also
look for the ease of adjusting the jointer
knives.

Fence movement is also important, make
sure that the fence will adjust easily
to an angled setting with out much fuss.
The longer fence the better.

I always check out the spec’s features
of the tools. There are so many jobs
that your woodworking jointer can do than
just shave wood from the faces and sides.
Can’t decide? Let me share one of my
favorites with you -

most reliable,
chosen nailers
used in con-
struction work,

framing and nailing. More and more cord-less

needed quick build with less energy and time.

Look at these powerful features of

tool when needing both hands.

weight. You can also get the Hitachi cordless
headed nail framer. It pays to have high
quality tools to work with. Check these

Suggestions for Storing Wood In a Small Shop

Suggestion for Storing Wood
In a small shop

Storing wood in a small shop can be quite
challenging. For many woodworkers the shops
are small, especially if you are working
out of a garage and having to share the shop
for some other need. There are ways of
bringing the needed wood in.

Storing lumber in a small shop can be
done in a number of ways. One is cutting
the wood outside if weather is permitt-
ing. Another is having a larger shop cut
for you. This way you can assemble and
build larger pieces. Just make sure that
their blades are sharp when they cut. If
you have a router you can cut your own
dados.

Some larger shops have small wastes from
hardwood lumber, and plywood. Arrangement
can be made to buy these or be given them.
They really don’t know what to do with all
their waste material.

Another suggestion for storing lumber in
a small place is to stack lumber verti-
cally instead of horizontally. In Storing
lumber in a small place as a garage or shed,
if the plywood storage rack is put on
rollers that can be locked, larger wood
such as your regular and birch plywood
can stand behind it and/or some of your
tools. Just make sure that there is venti-
lation between the floor, outside walls and
your lumber or plywood. Lumber will wick
moisture through the wall and up through
the concrete.

As you know storing wood in a small shop
can be quite challenging. I hope that
these suggestions will help out. There is
a lot of shop information that will give you
more suggestions. By putting your mind to
it you can come up with some very innovative
ideas that will work just for you. For all
your shop needs go to ToolKing.com a trusted

Where Is That Tool When I Need It?

Where Is That Tool When I Need It?

Do you often ask where is that tool when
I need it? Often we find that the tool is
just out of reach or we need to take time
out to find the hammer where we laid it last.

Now is the time to renovate the shop like
you always wanted to. When we put all the
tools into drawers, it still takes time to
rummage through all the other small tools to
find just what were looking for. Why not hang
your tools? There are brackets and hangers
now that will accommodate most of our tools.
Hunting for that tool when you need it will
be a thing of the past.

All kinds of ways exist to hang your tools on
the wall. One way is to use ¼" white pegboard.
Attach your extra expansion boards and braces
on the back. Plan how you will hang your board.
Lay it out on your table.

Put your appropriate hangers in place and place
your tools in the hangers. Mark around them
then fill in background with black marker or
color. Always leave room for new or more tools.
You might want to make smaller separate peg-
boards to place around your room or inside
doors of cabinets.

When you decide what tools is needed and where
you will be able to quickly find your tools
when you need them. There will be less frustra-
tion and more joy in your work. No longer will
you need to say "Where is That Tool When I
need it. While doing this sorting have you
found there are some hand tool that you need.
Go to this tool store for all your tools and
bargains

How to Arrange Your Shop

How to design your shop floor plan

How to arrange your shop is a question so many shop
owners scratch their heads on. Once you know what
woodworking machines that you will want for your shop,
you will need to arrange them into their permanent
location. Draft up a shop floor plan.

This can be done easily with ¼" graft paper. Measure
your floor space and figure that each two feet equals
¼" on your paper. You can then mark paper to equal
1/8" squares and figure your tools size with the same
measurements. Draw rectangles to equal the tool sizes.
When you cut these out you can begin to figure the
placement of your machines, cabinets, shelves, bins,
racks, and dust collectors and all else with ease.

When you arrange your shop the workbench can be put
at an angle in the middle of the floor. There is really an
advantage to this because you can work all around it,
have your tools with in reach underneath or hanging on
the sides.

You can plan where this bench will be by figuring your
step direction to the other different machine that will
be used.

If your shop is small you may want to think about
having benchtop tools. Some machines on stands, or
cabinets that can be rolled out. It is always suggested
you use a contractor or cabinet saw for a table saw.
But never put this saw on rollers.

How to arrange your shop is always a big problem.
We have given you a proven method to make it easier
for you. Do what the professionals do and put it down
on paper. This will save you time and energy. Another
way of saving time is shopping on the Internet for shop
plans and tools.

Worksite Table Saw

Worksite Table Saw

I have been thinking, what can I get for my son-in-law
that he can easily load in his truck? While I was
moseying through my favorite tool web site. There it
was! Plain as the nose on my face. Exactly what I need…
Uh... I mean exactly what he needs. Soooo… I’m going to
go to ToolKing.com a trusted Tool Distributor since 1978
and order that Bosch 4000-09 Worksite Table
Saw with that Gravity-Rise Wheeled Stand.

Have you ever used sawhorses to set your saw up? The
ground was never quite even. If someone bumped that make
shift unit, you held your breath incase your machine was
going to topple. You know a person could die just from
holding their breath from the fear and anticipation and
all of that…

I thought, well… he works outside on houses and he needs
a wheeled table saw stand. He has side-walks, yards, patios
and you name it to set his saw up. Why not get him some-
thing that when I go talk to him at his job site that we
both can be proud as a peach.

That Gravity-Rise Wheeled stand is so balanced that if he
needs his Bosch 4000-09 10" saw moved that maybe he will
let this grandma move it for him. Boy that would be a
feather in my cap. It would make my day. I’m going to
ToolKing.com a trusted Tool Distributor since 1978
right now and get that ordered. Do you want to
come with me?
