Few Gloats & Shop Improvements

[WoodWrangler]

I've tried to cut back on the gloats ... but watching all the action out here I so want to join in!:help:

So, I figured I'd share a couple of the recent additions around my shop ...

A set of the Narex chisels so many of you have, and that Fine Woodworking gave rave reviews for a while back. Now just need to sharpen them on this Worksharp thing!


Drill Press table & laser :icon_scra


Incra Miter Slider. Picked this up at the Klingspor closeout sale last weekend. Always wanted one ... such a nice safety improvement when using the miter gauge (already had that)


Couple of books that came HIGHLY recommended to me ... now I need to read them. I read about a book every three days, so give me a week!


Delta Oscillating Edge Sander. Wasn't planning on buying this, but came at the right price and just couldn't pass it up. :thumbs_up

How hard was it to set up the laser on your drill press?

About 5 minutes. Extremely easy. The whole install only took 10 minutes, maybe. This is the one WC has right now for $20.

I got that one the last time they were on sale but now I can't find the alignment dowel they sent with it. No matter. All you needed to do was put a center punch or brad point in the drill chuck & dial it in. Just don't forget & leave it on overnight. DAMHIKT

yeah i hear if you get in early on these deals and get out midway though it's a good plan.

Very nice additions to your shop:icon_thum. I know you'll get a lot of use out of the Incra slider and that chisel set - love mine. Watch out for the sides of the Narex chisels - very sharp!

Good to see that my Great Lakes caster money didn't sit idle too long!
:gar-Bi.

Congrats on new toys!

I like how you just add the small edge sander in at the end! That is a pretty major piece of iron. I use my edge sander all the time, but it does not oscillate like yours does, (wanna trade?)
Nice gloat(s)!

Cool stuff Jeremy, my DP came with a laser and a price reduction on a similar table when I bought it and I have found both items very handy although at first I had dismissed the laser as a gimmick. Like Dennis, I would caution you to remember to shut the durn thing off when not in use. :gar-La;

Foul!!!!

You have exceeded the "Gloats per Post" limit!!

A couple of notes on the laser-

You may find your fence obscures the beam when you raise the table up.

I often rotate my headstock to drill in a new area in the table insert (which I find easier than rotating the table on the column.) Doing so would throw off my laser. Though doing so took a little extra work, I mounted the laser to the headstock instead of the column. Works like a champ.

Whew, Jeremy, does a gloat this big throw your back out?
