90 - Get the Most out of a Plunge Router, страница 51
SourcesALL-PURPOSE LAYOUT TOOL Finding the materials to build the all-purpose layout tool on page 34 should be pretty easy. You may be able to pick up all of the material you need at a local hardware store. The only problem I ran into was finding the brass strips and the knurled thumb nuts. If you can't find them locally, McMaster-Carr can help you out. For the brass strip, ask for part number S859K91. And the knurled nuts are part number 92741A160. The company's contact information can be found in the right margin. Instead of using knurled thumb nuts, you could switch to brass wing nuts, which are a common item in most hardware stores. ROLL-AROUND WORK CART The roll-around work cart on page 18 requires quite a bit of hardware. The nice thing about this is you can find most of it, including the EMT conduit used for the handles, at a hardware store or home center. But there are a few items that you'll probably have to order. The heavy-duty, IV x 5" locking swivel casters (WC-88) came from Re id Tool. For the drawer handles, I used extruded aluminum pull material from Woodworker's Hardware (KV0822). It comes in 8- long pieces that you simply cut to the length you need. The full-extension drawer slides can be obtained from Rockier. You'll need four pairs of the 14"-long drawer slides (32474) and four of the 18" slides (32490) as weU. You can also order these drawer slides from the Woodsmith Store (see margin). DRILLING GUIDE When it comes to installing hardware, accuracy is the key to getting the best results. And anything that speeds up the hardware installation while still maintaining accuracy, well, that's a bonus. The True Position Drill Guide highlighted on page 14 combines both speed and accuracy. You can get the guide and all its accessories from the manufacturer. Precision Casewerk, or from Mockett Hardware. The contact information for both companies is listed in the margin. 3-IN-1 MULTI-TOOL The multi-tool on page 28 will make your palm router more versatile. Before you start building, there are a few parts you'll need to order. The first thing 1 did was pick up a 12" x 16" sheet of V phenolic material from the Woodsmith Store. But you can also order it directly from Leecrafi (BK-2). The only thing to be aware of is the color may vary depending on when you order. Most of the other parts came from Re id Tool: the tapered knob (DK-913); the V-20 T-knob (DK-222); the V-20 x 1", three-point knobs (RK-305); and the V-20 threaded inserts (EZ-12). The brass strips can be purchased at most hardware stores or arts and crafts retailers. Finally, Rockier carries the bit guard (67157) for the fence. TOOL STEEL Several sources are available for ordering chisels and plane irons made from the different types of tool steel described on page 12. Hock Tools, Lee Valley, and Too/s for Working Wood all carry replacement irons made from Ol and A2. Lee Valla/ and Tools for Working Wood carry chisels as well. Tools for Working Wood also cam" chisels made from D2 steel. SHOP AIR PLUMBING Outfitting your shop for compressed air isn't all that difficult. You can find the copper pipe, fittings, and wall mounts at a hardware store or home center. You should also be able to find the filters and air hose fittings at those locations as well. & MAIL ORDER SOURCES Woodsmith Store 800-444-7527 woodsmithstore.com Ommr Slides.
