  • Publication number: 20230234210
    Abstract: A rack for supporting items defines a channel or trough to receive support bases or blocks therein. Each support base carries at least one item. One item may be a router bit. The rack and support base(s) may collectively define a router bit storage and display system that can be mounted to a support surface, such as a wall or a router table. The system enables a woodworker to safely store and easily access router bits for use in their router device when needed. The router bits are maintained spaced apart from each other when supported by the rack so as to not damage each other. The system can be modular or modularly expanded to grow with the woodworker such that when the woodworker acquires more router bits, the system can add more racks and support bases to ensure there is adequate room for the woodworker's additional router bits.

  • Patent number: 11707861
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230160677
    Abstract: An adjustable gauge block that may be quickly adjusted to a desired height and then dialed in to a precision measurement that can replace a set of gauge blocks. The adjustable gauge block of the present disclosure may be further used as a repeatable and precise physical reference to set tool depths and heights. The adjustable gauge block of the present disclosure may be utilized as a physical reference to set drill press bit depths, table saw blade heights, router table bit heights, and the like. Additionally, the adjustable gauge block of the present disclosure may be utilized to check uniformity of thickness along an edge of a piece of stock.

  • Publication number: 20230082307
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230073793
    Abstract: A fence stop system for a table saw includes a fence stop that has a stop surface that is moveable between first and second positions. In the first position, the stop surface is disengaged from a portion of a table saw fence. In the second position, the stop surface engages the portion of the table saw fence. The fence stop includes a micro adjustment mechanism to “dial in” an exact measurement for a rip or cut. The fence stop system may additionally include a second fence stop that can be coupled to the first fence stop to create a mated pair. When the stop surfaces are in their second positions (i.e., stopping position), part of the table saw fence is disposed between the respective stop surfaces that allow the fence to translate between the stop surfaces to effectuate a dado cut in the wood.

  • Publication number: 20230068817
    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.
