Re: 8 non-woodworking tools for woodworkers

I have a ground steel bar, 3/4" X 1 1/2" X 36". Fits perfectly in miter slots for settng up tools, table to blade, fence to blade (I set mine at .004" open on the outfeed end). Best tool I know of for setting infeed and outfeed rollers on a planer. Snipe can mostly be elminated with accurate setup. Use to set and check jointer tables. Great straight edge and weight when cuting veneer. I got mine from use-Enco.com many years ago for about $35. No doubt it is more now but well worth the money. Note: Store it in oiled paper to protect the finish.
