PRODUCT INFORMATION Sources A Shop-Made Lock Pin The Lathe-Mounted Disk Sander featured on page 6 has a lock pin that holds the table at 90° to the sanding disk. To make it easy to grab the pin, I used a plastic ball knob that threads into a cutoff bolt. The knob we used is available from Reid Tool Supply Company. To order a knob call 1-800-253-0421 and ask for Part No. B-22. A Micro-Fence In the article on page 30, we take a close look at a Micro-Fence. This is a micro-adjustable fence that's used with a hand-held router. A knurled knob lets you quickly and accurately "dial in" the fence setting which positions the bit on the workpiece. For mail-order sources of the Micro-Fence, see margin at right. Figured Lumber & Veneer ► If you build the Cabinetmaker's Tool Chest featured on page 16, you may want to consider giving it a special touch by using highly-figured lumber and veneer. (We used curly maple hardwood and bird's-eye maple veneer for our tool chest.) Figured wood and veneer are available at many woodworking stores and some lumberyards. There are also a number of mailorder sources. (We've listed some of them in the margin at right.) One thing to be aware of is you may have to order a minimum amount of lumber (or veneer). To build our chest, you'll want at least 25 board feet of lumber and 10 square feet of veneer. This allows you to select pieces for the best grain or color. 3raee Hardware e (1 Pr.) 4" Brass Chest Handles #00A21.02 0 (1) Chest Lock M2K04.01 0 (1) V2" Escutcheon #00A03.01 0 (1 Pr.) 3"x 2" Brass Hinges #00P03.04 0 (10) 3/4" Brass Insert Knobs #05E01.07 • (2)9V2"~long Small Link Brass Chains #00F04.01 A Cabinetmaker's Tool Chest Hardware The tool chest that's featured on page 16 is such a special project, I felt it deserved some special hardware. So I selected the best quality hardware I could find. For example, the hinges and handles are solid brass. The leaves of the hinges are almost %2m thick—nothing flimsy there. And the heavy-duty handles have a stop to keep the handle from pinching your fingers against the case. The knobs are also solid brass. Plus they have a recess for a wood plug so you can customize the knob to complement (or contrast) with the chest. Together with the chains, escutcheon (keyhole), and lock, the hardware is actually one of the "treasures" in this chest. It's expensive, but it's worth it. (We paid about $110.) All of the hardware shown above is available from Lee Valley. (See margin.) m A Peel-and-Stick Sandpaper Disks These disks make it easy to attach sandpaper to the Lathe-Mounted Disk Sander (page 6). They have a pressure-sensitive adhesive on the ,ck. So you just peel off the plastic backing and press the disk in place. For extra durability, we recommend disks made with a heavy, cloth-backed material. These disks are available in sizes ranging from 5" to 12" in dia. and in grit sizes from 36 to 320-grit.
