Improved Miter Fixture
Oct 25, 2005
C.H. Dimmick’s miter fixture for the radial arm saw is very useful as described. But by leaving a 4-in. gap between the fence and the 45¡ guides, boards can be cut to length, then shifted to the 45¡ guides for mitering. Without the gap, the boards can be cut to length only by using another saw or by removing the jig.

Woodriver Circle Cutting Jig
The WoodRiver circle jig, which produces cuts up to 32-1/2 in. dia., and I can confidently recommend it. Unlike similar jigs that can pop off of their pivots mid-cut, ruining a panel in the process, this one has a robust pivot point that registers securely in the jig and workpiece.
Festool DF 500 Q-Set Domino Joiner
This joinery machine revolutionized woodworking for so many. There is no easier way to get mortise and tenon joints—but it comes at a cost.
Pfiel Chip Carving Knife
Great to use as a marking knife for laying out joinery and easy to sharpen.
