Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a miter gauge and methods of use thereof. Generally, this disclosure is related to a miter bar of a miter gauge that includes at least one spacer member which applies pressure to a side of a channel defined within a worktable. The application of this pressure by the at least one spacer member enables the miter bar to remain in a substantially constant position between the first side and second side of the channel and reduces the degree of play between the miter bar and the first and second sides of the channel. Retainer members are provided on a bottom of the miter bar to aid in preventing the miter bar from lifting vertically out of the channel during use.

Abstract: A woodworking bridge has two base walls or components that enable the bridge to span an abutment or joint between two work pieces. A top surface enables a clamp to engage the bridge to permit the clamp to apply a clamping force to a first work piece and a second work piece on both sides of the joint and prevent the clamp from contacting the joint. This allows any adhesive that oozes from the joint to be cleaned without curing in the top surface and/or the bottom surface of the two work pieces. The work pieces may then be stained without any cured adhesive in the pores of the work pieces where stain is applied.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method relating to work tables. The system comprises a table that attaches to a drill press. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a drill press table with a fence and optionally a drawer, a vacuum assembly, flip stop assemblies, and various other components. Various operation of using the table are described herein.

Abstract: A method for releaseably engaging a workpiece with the stop portion. The method comprises steps of: providing a first portion of a stop assembly; providing a stop portion of the stop assembly; providing a fine adjustment assembly of the stop assembly, wherein the fine adjustment assembly comprises at least: a set screw operably engaged with the first portion and the stop portion, an adjustment wheel operably engaged with the set screw and completely housed inside of a second portion of the stop assembly that is pivotable engaged with the stop portion; engaging the first portion inside of a track of a tool; and pivoting the stop portion, about a pivot axis defined by a pivot shaft of the stop assembly, to an engaged position such that the stop portion moves in a rotational direction toward the first portion of the stop assembly.

Abstract: A table saw jig for guiding offcut sides of various types of workpiece. The table saw jig includes a base that operably engages with a table of a table saw. The table saw jig also includes a slider that is moveably engaged inside of the base and is adapted to guide an offcut side of at least one workpiece along the table of the table saw. The table saw jig also includes at least one attachment assembly that operably engages with the base and is adapted to engage the base with the table of the table saw. The table saw jig also includes at least one calibration assembly that operably engages with the slider and the base. The at least one calibration assembly is configured to calibrate the slider relative to a blade of the table saw when the base is operably engaged with the table of the table saw.

Abstract: A carpenter square including a triangular plate and a base. The base has a corner at an intersection of a first side and first end. The corner extends into a pivot notch defined in a first side edge of the plate. During use, the base's corner may be placed on a side wall of a workpiece and the plate is pivoted about a pivot axis extending along the base's corner. An angular measurement may be marked on the workpiece's surface when a selected angle on the plate aligns with an edge of the workpiece that extends along an intersection of the workpiece's surface and side wall. First and second regions of the plate extend outwardly beyond opposite ends of the base. Each of the first and second regions includes a distance measurement scale and the first region further includes one or more angular measurement scales.

Abstract: A stop assembly may include a first portion configured to selectively operably engage a track of a tool and a stop portion operably engaged with the first portion configured to releasably engage a workpiece. The stop portion may be pivotable between a disengaged position and an engaged position relative to the first portion. The stop portion may move in a rotational direction toward the first portion when moving from the disengaged position to the engaged position. A method of use may include pivoting a stop portion of a stop assembly, about a pivot axis defined by a pivot shaft of the stop assembly, to an engaged position such that the stop portion moves in a rotational direction toward a first portion of the stop assembly.

Abstract: A multi-functional router base that includes associated components and various methods of use herein. The router base includes a base plate and an attachment assembly that is operably engaged with the base plate. The router base also includes a first attachment rod and a second attachment rod provided on the attachment assembly, where the first attachment rod and the second attachment rods are adapted to engage a router. The first attachment rod and the second attachment rod of the router base are linearly moveable relative to the base plate. As to the linear movement, the first attachment rod and the second attachment rod are transversely linearly moveable relative to one another and are vertically linearly moveable relative to the base plate based on the configuration of the router being operably engaged with the router base. An edge guiding fence may be operably engageable with the base plate.

Abstract: A taper jig that provides a woodworker with multifunctional use for orientating and maintaining a workpiece in order to make a tapered cut in a workpiece at desired incremental angles. The taper jig includes a first track and a second track that operably engages the first track wherein the second track is pivotably moveable relative to the first track. The taper jig also includes at least one measurement scale assembly that operably secures the first track and the second track to one another at a predetermined angle. The taper jig also includes at least one clamping handle assembly that operably engages one of the first track and the second track, wherein the at least one clamping handle assembly being adapted to clamp a workpiece. The taper jig may also include a first sled and a second sled that operably engage with the first and second tracks.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that may include clamp alignment members, and interconnection members connecting each of the clamp alignment members. The clamp alignment members each have a slot disposed between a first end and a second end thereof. Each interconnection member is pivotably coupled to another interconnection member and slidably coupled with respect to one of the clamp alignment members via one of the slots.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a portable drill guide that is useable to enable a user to more accurately use a portable drill to drill a substantially vertical hole or angled hole into a workpiece in a controlled straight line. The portable drill guide includes a base plate; a pivot assembly selectively moveable with the base plate; at least one guide column operably engaged with the at least one guide column; and a chuck carrier operably engaged with the at least one guide column and being linearly moveable relative to the base plate. The chuck carrier and the at least one guide column of the portable drill guide are pivot with the pivot assembly relative to the base plate. Additional assemblies and components may be operably engaged with the portable drill guide for assisting in drilling substantially vertical hole or angled hole into a workpiece in a controlled straight line.
