Abstract: A cutting tool sharpening fixture system and method of use is provided. More particularly, the cutting tool has a sharpening guide that is supportable at two points while sharpening and the cutting tool has an angle fixture. The angle fixture has a fence that is movable along a track channel to set an angle. The sharpening guide with wheels on two body portions are removable from the angle fixture.

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 tool storage system has a universal mounting bracket coupled to a support surface formed with a plurality of apertures that align with differently sized support arms that support a tool therefrom. The apertures are aligned along a common horizontal plane and the support arms have different heights that allow tools to be hung therefrom in a nesting relationship so that more tools can occupy less space or area relative to the support surface. The nesting relationship of the tools provides for a first tool supported by the first arm to fit within a space defined by the second tool supported by the second arm. In some instance, the first and second arms may be part of a pair of support arms, respectively.

Abstract: A fence and stop assembly system and method of use thereof are disclosed. The fence and stop assembly system may include a fence configured to guide and/or secure a workpiece, and a track defined in the fence extending along a length thereof. The stop assembly may be operably engaged with the track. The stop assembly may include a stop portion configured to engage the workpiece such that at least a part of the stop portion is positioned within the track. The method may include operably engaging a stop assembly with a track defined in a fence such that at least a part of a stop portion of the stop assembly is positioned within the track.

Abstract: A drill guide that includes associated components and various methods of use herein. The drill guide includes a first guide column and a second guide column provided on a base plate. The drill guide also includes a chuck carrier adapted to operatively receive a drill chuck of a portable drill. The chuck carrier is operably engaged with the first guide column and the second guide column, and the chuck carrier is linearly moveable along the first guide column and the second guide column between a return position and a plunging position relative to the base plate. The drill guide also includes a tapered portion defined in the first guide column. The drill guide also includes a depth stopper that is operably engaged with the first guide column, wherein the tapered portion enables self-tightening of the depth stopper about the first guide column.

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 dado jig that may be adapted for use with any thickness of wood stock to allow quick and accurate cutting of dadoes to fit the thickness of the stock piece exactly is provided. The present disclosure further provides a method of use for a dado jig to cut both open and blind dadoes with stock of varying thicknesses without the need to measure that thickness.

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.

Abstract: A complete pen mandrel turning assembly that may allow for simple, accurate, and repeatable centering of a pen mandrel shaft. The presently disclosed system may further include a tail stock assembly that is adjustable to allow the tail stock to be positioned right next to the pen blank to eliminate any chance of runout and other associated problems. Further, the present disclosure may provide a series of precision bushings for use with the pen turning assembly to securely hold a pen blank in the turning assembly while providing an accurate and precise turning reference for the pen turner.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a bi-directional clamp system and method of use. More particularly, a bi-directional clamp with two clamp bars and two clamping assemblies are described herein. The clamp assemblies have a plurality of arms freely movable in response to a material load is described herein.
