They are trigger clamps. I might be able to drill out the stop, but it isn’t a screw or something easy to remove.
300mm would be about the right size, but I could have sworn dewalt are 12” and...

They measure about an 1/8" short, which is a problem as I am trying to clamp a 12" piece. Any suggestions?
I made one years ago out of Cedar and it's still in there. I used a very high quality water proof stain, can't remember the name at the moment, but it was not Tompson water seal.
I considered...
I suspect you are paying for a solid template with dust collection built in as opposed to making your own that may have a little flex and is hard to adjust with no dust collection.
The first...
Harvey used to OEM their stuff. Now they both OEM and sell the same stuff with their brand. I've bought a few things from Harvey both OEM and direct and find the Harvey branded stuff a bit better....
Counter intuitively, you want a soft lead. Hard lead does not flex and will snap. Remember, you are putting the lead into a little hole that is not flush with the wood. As you move the Incra it...
I suggest you cheat. Cut the 11 of the 12 pentagons all to be the same size. Then screw hinges on each one. No need to worry about angles. At the end, using a different colored wood, cut the...
I believe you will be amazingly happy with the Jet 8". I found going from my Cutech to a Hammer A3-31 was eye opening. The jointer/planer went from never used to my most used tool in my shop. I...
I use my woodpeckers over my starret's for everything except when I have a knife. My Woodpeckers are aluminum and the knife will cut them. I use the Woodpecker every other time because they are as...
That seems like a lot to spend to get only 8". I realize the jump up from 8" to 10" or 12" is a lot more, but once you've decided to sink $2K+ into a tool, you might want to consider if it's going...
A lot of big chains have price matching. They can do this two ways, have different models of the same basic thing that is sold only at their store (appliances) or have their web sites match prices. ...
These are a great set to help you build stuff but they are not the primary tools you are going to use to make something. Let me give you an example.
You are making a cabinet and want to take the...
Depends on how bad the rust is. Any absolute answer will be situational, so not saying anything anyone else said is wrong, just saying it may not apply in your situation.
For me, workmen left a...
My wife likes a particular piece of furniture we bought a long time ago and we think it’s rubberwood. I want to get some, finish it, and see if that is, indeed, the wood that she so loves. However,...
One warning, the overflow alerts on my G800 are non-existent. I managed to fill the bins, fill the cyclones, fill the filter and it just stopped working. Took us a bit of time to discover just how...
Sadly, I have the Franklin, which I thought was good until the other night when it couldn’t find a stud in a wall that went up 6 months ago. Sounds like I am not going to get better.

I have tried many of the highly rated stud finders and am quite frustrated. I have some that work, until they don’t. It will definitely show me a stud, I move up and down a bit, still showing, drill...
It's very good for building up muscles. That's a heavy router to use freehand.
Kapax or equivalent miter saw with depth stops. Start with a square piece and set the compound miter to the right angles and cut the vertical slots. Rotate to the side and cut the horizontal....
I had a friend come over to show me how to do it, we used the bandsaw to get the sawdust, worked great, just turn off the dust collection.
After filling and when it was still a bit unset, she...
Doing rough cut lumber is not what I'd consider newbie woodworking, nor is resin tabletop projects.
I'd suggest you first look at the bandsaw blades you want to use then pick a bandsaw that can...
One of my frustrations with my old 300 sq ft shop was most of the space saving ideas were beyond my skill. As I got better it was less frustrating.
What I did find is something is better than...
You said tripped the GFI outlet, so I'm assuming you have a ground fault and the filtered power strip is hiding it. An arc fault is at the breaker box not the outlet (which I think is what Jim is...
What's fast perpendicular mean? Are the other blades slow and won't cut straight?
Festool can be such a pain with analysis paralysis. All my never use because they are crap jigsaws in the past have been pretty much "here is a wood blade that cuts poorly or a metal blade that cuts...
