If you need to make a dovetail then you should consider purchasing a dovetail jig. You can buy these fairly cheaply or you can make your own dovetail jig pretty easily. You can go online to find templates for creating a jig or you can go to a store that sells wood supplies. A lot of the templates will let you create up to twelve different jigs.

You should choosing a dovetail bit that will work for your dovetail saw and your router. These can be very helpful if you want to make a jig yourself. You can use a template that will let you different spaced dovetails that you can use for a wide selection of improvement projects. You can use them for cabinets, drawers, or small boxes. You can also get a system that comes with bits and templates all together to make things easier. This will help you save money or you can purchase the pieces separately.

You can do other fine joint projects using dovetail saws, not just cut dovetails. Dovetail saw blades are thicker than other types of saws. This can help make your saw more accurate and it is very important to get a good saw if you want to create tight joints and make things look professional. You should get a saw that is about fourteen to seventeen points per inch. This shows that the saw is of a high quality.

You can make consistent dowels with a dowel jig. If you use timber then get a self centering jig to be more accurate. You can get an array of sizes from a quarter to one half inch. You can also buy whole kits that will have the dowel jig and also will have a few hundred different size dowels. You may also find glue in these kits.

If you are interested in cabinet making then a kreg jig might be what you should choose. You can get slides that are perfectly positioned and will help your drawers to be smoother. If you use a kreg jig you'll save a lot of time cause you won't need to measure and mark the spaces for the drawer slides. You can also find it easier to mount metal drawer slides. Use these for different drawers such as center, bottom, or extension drawers. This is something that is not expensive, yet very useful.

If you want to make your own jig you can save a lot of money. Just use scraps of plywood to do this. Since you just use one jig for each project you don't want to spend a lot of money on your jig. If you want to use it over and over then you should get a hardwood to create your jig.

Benefits And Types of Diamond Saw Blades - Masonry, Brick, Green Concrete

All along this been a common concern - selecting the right Diamond Saw Blade for the right saw. In today's market where everyone is possibly striving to take the place forward prompts us to think twice before investing into Diamond Saw Blades. There are so many options and varieties in the market available to choose from. But, first let us comprehend what is a Diamond Saw Blade? It's an industrial tool massively used in the construction industry for cutting abrasive stuffs like stone, brick and also different rigid objects and materials. Available in different varieties, sizes and types, they are useful in many applications.

Let us now throw some light on the myriad applications and types of Diamond Saw Blades-

1. Masonry Diamond Blades
Masonry diamond blades are suitable for medium to heavy duty jobs. They are used for cutting all masonry applications comprising: concrete, marble, granite, hard block, roof tile, pavers, brick, hard brick and field stones.

2. Brick Diamond Blades
Brick diamond blades are used either on a table saws or high speed saws. This type of diamond saw blade is heavily used for cutting bricks, limestone, pavers, quarry stones, blocks as well as for refractory bricks. Whenever you need the right brick diamond saw blades, always try to buy from reliable source only from experienced manufacturer or distributor of Brick Diamond Blades.

The Benefits of Carbide Tipped Tools

Carbide (also known as titanium carbide or tungsten carbide) is a chemical compound that is commonly used for tipping cutting tools. Carbide is hard and durable, but most importantly, it stays sharp for longer periods of time than most other metals. While too brittle and expensive to be used for the entire tool body, carbide is the ideal tip for saws blades, routers, lathe bits, and drill bits. I recommend seeking out carbide tipped saw blades and routers if you plan on doing serious metal or wood working. The following is some basic information you should know before considering or selecting a carbide-tipped tool.

• Carbide is both highly heat resistant (melting point of 2,870 °C / 5,200 °F) and extremely hard (8.5–9.0 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.)
• Carbide tipped saw blades have a longer “tool life” than basic steel tools because of their extreme durability. This is especially relevant for higher speeds and feeds associated with more aggressive machining. If you plan on using your tool frequently on hard or dense materials, carbide tips are a must.
• Carbide tipped tools are slightly more expensive, but they stay sharp anywhere from ten to twenty times longer than a simple steel tip.
• Carbide tips are also less likely to crater when machining more abrasive materials.
• Because of its strength, carbide sharpening requires a specific type of abrasive, preferably something coated in diamond or a carbide abrasive wheel.
• C-2 carbide tips are used for cutting non-ferrous materials such as cast iron.
• C-5 carbide tips are used for cutting steel materials.

Carbide Router Bit

How can I cut PVC pipe (that does NOT have the factory ends) level / square so it can stand up straight?

I have a large scrap PVC pipe (just over 9" outside diameter, 6' long, 3/4" thick walls) and it does NOT have the factory cuts on the end, so the ends aren't level. If I stand the pipe up on a concrete floor, it will fall down because the ends are crooked.

Buy/find a coupling that is made for that size pipe. Slip it on the uneven end, and mark or cut the pipe with the edge of the coupling as your guide. It will be perfectly square.

You can use a metal or wood blade for the cut, even a chain saw.

Or, you can leave the coupling on the uneven end. Since the coupling will create a square end it will stand upright on the coupling, it will be a little larger, therefore more stable, and you do not have to make a cut.

A Guide to Woodworking Jigs

If you have a woodworking workshop, it is likely that you will need a woodworking jig. Jigs are useful for repetitive tasks in many woodworking projects, and help in making complex tasks quicker and easier. Woodworking jigs are readily available from hardware stores, and are usually very cheap. It is even more cost effective to build your own from scrap wood, and can be beneficial because you can create a jig suited to your specific needs and taste. Depending on the type and amount of projects you like to do, you will need a variety of different jigs.

Different Types of Woodworking Jigs

Dovetail Jigs: Dovetail jigs are useful for building dovetail joints accurately. Dovetail jigs can be purchased at relatively inexpensive prices. You could even build your own dovetail jig using templates from the internet or stores that sell woodworking supplies. If sourced successfully, many of these templates will allow you to make up to twelve different jig sizes.

If you are going to make your own jigs, you may want to purchase a dovetail bit for your router and a dovetail saw. Good templates will assist you in making variably spaced or fixed dovetails for a variety of projects including drawers, cabinets and small boxes.

A dovetail saw is a good purchase, because it need not only be used for cutting dovetails, but can also cut other fine joints for other projects. Dovetail saws have thinner blades which allow for greater accuracy. It is important to purchase good quality tools for a more professional result on your projects. When buying a dovetail saw, look for about fourteen to seventeen points per inch.

Dowel Jigs: A dowel jig is used for making good quality dowels. If you are going to be using thick timber, it is best to use a self-centering jig for better accuracy. There are a variety of sizes available, from a quarter to one half inch. There are complete kits available from woodworking supply shops that include the dowel jig and several hundred dowels in a variety of sizes.

Kreg Jig: Kreg jigs are ideal for cabinet making. Naturally, you will want the movement of the drawers to be smooth, so perfectly positioned slides are imperative. The use of kreg jigs is extremely convenient as you will not need to measure and mark the spaces for the drawer slides. This will make it easier to mount metal drawer slides. Kreg jigs can be used for center, bottom or extension mounted drawers. A kreg jig is an inexpensive, yet extremely versatile piece of equipment.

Building Your Own Woodworking Jigs:

If you build your own woodworking jigs, you will save a lot of money in supplies. You can use inexpensive pieces of material, and scrap wood for making your own jigs. Because you will only be using the jig for one project, you do not want to spend too much money on materials. If you are planning on reusing your jigs, it is advisable to build with a stronger and more durable hardwood. It is easy to source instructions on making your own jigs in woodworking books or magazines. Instructions on making your own jig are also readily available on the internet, and can be printed and stored for future reference.

Saws, Choosing The Right One For The Job

The best tool for wood-cutting or any other material is a saw which consists of a blade that is serrated and worked by hand or in a mechanized manner. The make of a saw is such that the tooth of a saw is bent at angles with each angle being known as set. The cut which the saw is intended to make influences the set of tooth. For example, rip saw whose teeth is used to rip the material apart, has a set of tooth that is not different to the ones used in a chisel.

What are different terms related with a saw?

• Heel - This part of the saw is the end nearest to the handle of the saw.

• Toe - This part of the saw is the end farthest to the handle of the saw.

• Front - The teeth of the saw comprises of the front side.

Other components like Rake, Gullet and Kerf are known to make up the design of a saw.

What are the types of Saws used for industrial purposes?

For starters, saws are differentiated between hand-powered saws and mechanized saws. The objective of any saw is the same - to cut a large piece to smaller units.

• Hand saws - The technique of holding the blade stiff to get an even, quality cut differentiates hand-powered saws into three types - Hand saw, jigsaw and saber saw. Handsaws are saws operated by the hands as opposed to the mechanized technique used by the mechanized saws.

• Back saws - This type of saw allows the stiffening of the inner blade by reinforcing it with steel or a brass back. The length of the blade is the biggest differentiating factor for back saws. The list of back saws has but not limited to Mitre Saw, Carcase Saw, Tenon Saw, Dovetail Saw. Most of these saws have a handle which is vertical relative to the blade of the saw.

• Mechanically Powered Saws - These are saws used for many industrial purposes. The tooth of the saws is moved past the wood while the saw does not move itself. The technique of wood cutting is done by any of the following three methods - 1) The perimeter of a flat, circular blade has the tooth on it, 2) The Blades are so designed that they move up and down and 3) A continuous band is provided on the saws which has the tooth of the saw.

Reciprocating, Scroll, Dragsaw and Radial Arm Saw are some of the other types of saws available in the market.

What are the materials used for Saws?

Saws are made of Brass, Steel or Diamond, each having its own specifications. Brass is generally used in back saws as they are not expensive and the ease of casting the material. Saws made using brass as a material do not have a pulling motion which allows them to be used as a saw without any backward pressure. Steel, like Brass is commonly used to manufacture saws as they are cheap and durable. Diamond is used to manufacture very expensive saws which can be used for concrete cutting purposes.

Using a circular saw to rough cut granite?

I'm installing a new cook top that requires that I cut an additional 1" opening in my granite. Can I use a circular saw with a diamond blade to cut it? The granite is approx. 1" thick and the lengh of the cut will be approx. 36". I'm not worried about the edge looking nice as the cook top will over lap the edge by 1/2" or so. Thanks!
I purchased a wet or dry diamond blade. I was planning to use it dry to minimize the mess and complication. Is that ok? It says it's good for granite on the package.

You have the right idea ,except using water will minimize the mess. You would be surprised how much airborne dust is created cutting dry. Make sure your saw is well grounded, and plugged into a GFCI outlet. It doesn't take much water to minimize the dust.

Safety Tips for Operating a Portable Circular Saw

Circular saws are versatile tools that are relatively easy to operate and so convenient that we sometimes forget the risk they pose if not operated with caution. Popular Mechanics includes circular saws in its list of the 5 most dangerous tools for their role in tool related injuries. Even those who are experienced and comfortable using circular saws must use extreme caution each time they operate one. Neglecting proper safety precautions with circular saws can lead to accidents and injuries, even death.

When operating any power tool, adhering to all safety precautions provided in the user manual is recommended to prevent injury. Below are some basic but essential safety tips to keep in mind when operating a circular saw:

• Wear eye protection. Protecting your eyes from dust and debris is essential when working with a circular saw. Depending on the type of material you are cutting, a dust mask or respirator may also be advised.
• Keep the tool unplugged when not in use and when changing blades. This will prevent the tool from being turned on accidentally, which can cause injury as well as damage to the cord or blade.
• While the saw is still unplugged, check the lower blade guard. The lower blade guard is a spring loaded cover that surrounds the saw blade when not in use. It should retract smoothly and snap back over the blade when released.
• Use the recommended blade depth. While the tool is unplugged, the blade should be locked at a depth such that it extends below the surface to be cut by the amount specified by the manufacturer. The blade should just clear the bottom of the surface being cut.
• Support the surface being cut. Wood or other material being cut with a circular saw should be supported while you are making the cut. This may require two supports on each side of the cut and possibly a few clamps. Supports should be sturdy and designed to prevent the blade from being pinched as the surface separates.

The tips covered here are important for circular saw safety, but do not cover every possible scenario. Exercising extreme caution, using common sense and following all manufacturer recommendations are imperative for your safety when working with electrical power tools. The owner’s manual for your circular saw should cover specific safety rules intended for the tool you are using.
