Band Saw Blade Alignment Gauge

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

No matter how good your band saw is, if it doesn’t cut square it’s not living up to its potential.  Usually setting a band saw blade square to the table involves a lot of cutting and checking of scrap stock — or you could clip this blade alignment gauge to the blade and check the alignment easily with a machinist square.

One Tooth Hole Cutter

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Is it still a saw if it only has one tooth? Lenox avoids the issue by calling this tool a hole cutter, and its design evidently offers some really cool advantages over normal hole saws. For one thing, the cutter works best with low torque and high speed. And it’ll cut holes that aren’t perpendicular to the workpiece!

Lenox: Low Profile Hacksaw

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

lowprofilehacksaw[2].jpgAll hacksaw jobs are not created equal, nor are they all created in easy-to-reach places. Lenox recognizes this, offering a cool twist on the sturdy rectangle-shaped design standard hacksaws have shared for decades.

The tip of their Gray Wolf 5012 hacksaw is tapered down at the front to fit in areas with smaller clearance for those close-quarter cuts, while the rear of the saw remains large to support a big handle grip that’ll fit your gloved hands. 

We’re really impressed.  In the past you had two options: the big saw or one of those little mini-saws that’s barely bigger than the blade.  Sure, sometimes you’ll still have to use the mini-saw, but in our experience, the ‘Wolf could handle 90% of the close-quarters work..

The ’Wolf uses standard 12″ hacksaw blades and street pricing starts around $20.  (Though if you hunt you can find it for even less.)
