TOOL ACCESSORY OF THE DAY!!



Dado Sets & Accessories
Industrial Quality
One of the most useful tablesaw accessories you can own is a dado set. In fact, a tablesaw is incomplete without a dado set. A dado set can be used to make a wide variety of cuts such as grooves, dadoes, tenons, rabbets, lap joints, and dentil molding.


Amana’s dado sets feature a sharp, alternate top bevel (ATB) tooth design on the outer blades to shear the wood cleanly which ensures splinter-free cuts in both solid wood and plywood. The Prestige dado set #658060 also produces chip-free cuts in melamine.Additionally, the flat top grind inside chippers ensures a smooth, flat-bottom cut. And no dado head offers greater versatility. By stacking the two outer blades in combination with the chippers you can cut any groove from 1/4" to 13/16".





Prestige™ Super Fine Dado SetsSix 4 Wing ChippersCuts super smooth, perfect flat-bottom grooves that are free of splinters or rough edges. Available in 8"

NEW FROM JET!!!





Jet Oscillating 22/44" sander




The new model 22-44 OSC Drum Sander has an exclusive oscillating feature, with the push of a button the 22-44OSC sander can be operated as a simple sander or as an oscillating sander. When operating as a linear sander, the sander drum rotates as the conveyor feeds the workpiece through. When in the oscillating mode, in addition to the linear sanding operation, the sanding drum head oscillates from left to right and lowers heat build-up on the sanding belt to reduce loading and burning. Additional features include a built-in cabinet door for easy access to storage, patented conveyor TRACKERS™ that reduce the need for manual belt adjustments and our Exclusive SandSmart™ infinitely variable feed control that produces the ultimate finish to your woodworking project.

Tool of the Day

Here is a unique and useful tool with minimal power requirements (i.e. none)


Pocket Chisel
By Mike Olson
A chisel is a useful hand tool or bench tool, but you don’t want to carry it around in your pocket. You risk cutting your pocket and yourself, unless you can keep track of the plastic caps that sometimes come with them. FastCap has come up with a solution in their new Pocket Chisel.
At first glance, the Pocket Chisel looks like it should be hanging out with the butterfly knives and switchblade combs at the swap meet, and it does function like a butterfly. The grooved nylon handles encase the chisel blade, protecting it and your pockets. The handles lock in the open position, and FastCap claims you can hammer away on the split handle like you would a normal chisel.
The unique handles are color coded to the four different sizes — so you know which chisel you’re pulling out of your pocket without having to open it up. You can get the Pocket Chisel from FastCap and their distributors in 1/4″, 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1″ sizes, for $20 apiece. We carry them at M&M Toolsandmachinery.com .
