New Freud Routers Include a Fixed-base Tool For years Freud (800-334-4107 or freudtools. com) has been quietly offering a small selection of well-priced power tools for woodworkers. This year, however, the company has decided to make some noise by introducing a more complete line of routers that will, of course, accept all the Freud router bits. The new line includes two new routers, a 31/4-hp, variable-speed plunge (the FT3000VCE, priced at $289) and a 2V4-hp, variable-speed fixed-base model (the FT1700, $189). Plus, Freud's redressed single-speed, 314-hp plunge router has been redesignated the FT2200VCE ($189). The 15-amp FT3000VCE is the only plunge router of this size that offers through-the-base height adjustment of the bit, making it very handy for router-table work without the extra expense of a router lift. The tool also features variable speed with electronic feedback to maintain torque under load. The electronics include a soft-start feature that is a real benefit in a router of this size. Plus there's a rack-and-pinion plunge mechanism and a detachable dust-collection port. The FT1700 fixed-base router offers through-the-base height adjustment for convenient router-table use. The tool also features variable speed and a spindle lock. (Release date: October 2006). — DT Wood to Dye For ... We're still coming up with ideas for what you would do with this product (in fact you can't buy it yet), but it's just such a fun and kooky idea we wanted to share it with you. The company, TS Woods (tswoods.com), is named after Tom Frink and his son Shawn. Their business is adding color to living trees. The trees will accept color from the base of the tree to the tips of the leaves or needles. All the parts of the tree can be used and the process is nontoxic, colorfast and takes only a few weeks to complete on a live tree. Tom colored his first aspen grove in 1964 and for the past 40 years the father and son pair have successfully colored more than 35 different varieties of trees. The process introduces colored patterns and striations in the wood unlike what you'd get when dying the wood after the tree has been felled. It's pretty cool. — DT 90 Popular Woodworking November 2005 |
