Shop Tips
Compressor Cart
Sep 18, 2007
Instead of lugging your portable air compressor around the shop, build this small wheeled cart that makes it easy to roll the compressor wherever it is needed. The cart, made mostly of 3/4-in. material, also provides handy storage for air tools, nails, lubricant, and other supplies.

Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Ridgid EB4424 Oscillating Spindle/Belt Sander
With five spindles sized from 1/2 in. to 2 in. and a 4 X 24-in. belt, this sander has become a staple in many a shop Fine Woodworking visits.
Craftsman Random Orbit Sander
While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
Woodriver Rechargeable Desiccant Bag
Placed in a drawer, cabinet or closet, the bag immediately begins to absorb moisture from the air, which reduces corrosion.
