Cold days in the shop are something many woodworkers would like to leave behind in the old year, and the new version of Mr. Heater's Portable Buddy MH9BX propane heater is designed to achieve that goal. It weighs in at eight pounds, with a fold-down carry handle for portability. Both a low-oxygen shut-off system and tip-over shut-off ensure safer operation. The Portable Buddy can be set to high or low heat, for 4,000 or 9,000 Diamond Wave™ sharpener BTUs. A disposable 1-lb. tank of propane will power it for six hours, or a standard 20-lb. tank will provide 110 hours of warmth. Mr. Heater Portable Buddy has a suggested price of $99.99. Getting your tools warmed up, sharp and ready to go is also a good idea — and the Diamond Wave™ sharpener from Diamond Machining Technology is the first diamond sharpener to combine convex and concave abrasive surfaces. Its unique wave shape provides radii ranging from 1/16" to 1" to sharpen curved tools, like those used for turning or carving, on the 10"-long Diamond Wave. It's constructed from micronized diamond coating on a steel substrate, available in either 600- or 1,200-grit versions and has a suggested price of $59.99. Raring to go in the shop often means routing, and Makita has come out with two new 3^4 hp, 15-amp routers. The RP1800 is a plunge router with 22,000 rpm; the RP2301FC is a plunge router with variable speed from 9,000 to 22,000 rpm. Both have up to 23/i" plunge depth capacity, quick-release plunge depth adjustment and three preset depth stops, and the RP2301FC also has built-in Makita RP1800 plunge router 64 February 2010 Woodworker's Journal |
