Shop Tips Magnets Keep Saw Blades Handy Reluctant to deface my scrollsaw or stand but wanting an accessible place to "store" several blades close at hand. I placed a couple of %"-round magnets about 4" apart on one leg of my scrollsaw stand at a handy-to-rcach position. The magnets hold my spare blades securely out of the way until needed. Magnets like I use can be found at crafts-supply stores and many hardware stores for less than a dollar for a pack of four or more. Jim Penkala. Calistoga. Calif. Easy, Fast Workbench Cleanup When 1 sand or rout on my workbench. the dust and chips get vacuumed away immediately, requiring little or no clean up. To do this. I simply cut a 2!4"-squarc hole in the top of my workbench. When I'm ready to work, I connect the end of the shop vacuum hose to the underside of the hole. What little dust remains on the bcnchtop can be brushed into the hole before turning off the vacuum. A. G. Cebullu. Lindstrom. Minn. Small Containers Extend Storage Life Of Finishes Over the years, I have saved considerable money on finishing products by following a relatively simple procedure. Once I have used half of a gallon or half a quart of product, I empty the remaining amount into a clean spare can half the original size. For example, I usually pour the remaining half-gallon into two quart cans, or the remaining portion of a quart into a pint can. This minimizes the amount of air that can cause rapid deterioration of a finishing product. You can buy empty metal containers of all sizes from paint stores. The pint cans I buy cost me about 80 cents, quart cans around $1 each. These cans are not lined or coated, so you wouldn't want to store latex or other water-based materials in them.

We put together a 12" jointer, 12" planer, 10" table saw, 50" sliding table, and a shaper with a mortiser. No cheating. No compromises. Some 1100 lbs. of cast iron stability, with three separate 3HP motors. It stays put It stays true. And it stays neatly in a little comer of your shop. That's why Belgians call the Robland X31 The Intelligent One Man Shop. .About the only thing you can't make on it is breakfast.
