Lavallee tools is now carrying three saws from the family-run Wisconsin based firm bad axe Tool Works. All of the saws are hand filed in hammer set the elegant. Oil finished cherry handles come to the hand well and are quite comfortable. The folded backs are thick carbon steel for rigidity and are finished with the same black oxide treatment used in firearms for lasting protection from rust the 10-inch dovetail saw is filed with a 14 TPI rip pattern with five degrees offleam to help reduce tear out. This is a great option for smaller joinery tasks. The 12-inch dovetail small tenon saw is filed with a 13 TPI hybrid pattern that rips effectively and produces an adequate finish on cross cuts. 

This is a great multi you saw. The 14 inch sash saw is perfectly scaled for larger work. It features the same hybrid tooth pattern but is filed at a more aggressive 11 TPI. This saw makes short work of larger joinery bad. Axe saws are beautifully made and should be a top performer in your shop. The Rockler center offset marking tool lets you take care of two tedious tasks with one convenient device. The first is drawing a centerline on the edge of a board. Just put a common number-two pencil in the center hole place the tool on the board twist it until the posts make contact and then slide. Just like that you have a perfectly centered line on boards up to one and a half inches thick. 


                               
                                 

The second job is marking offsets or reveals for jobs like installing moldings. Just flip the tool but it against the board. Choose the offset and slide the tool to draw the line. It marks offsets from 1/16 to 1/2 inch from the edge in 1/16 increments when you're done. You can take advantage of  the built-in magnet to store it on a metal surface for easy retrieval, next time the Center offset marking tool. Another Rockler innovation to help you create with confidence when you're building cabinets cases and boxes holding the pieces in position during assembly can be one of the biggest challenges. 

                                 

 

                                 


The Craig 90-degree corner clamp simplifies the assembly process by aligning and holding corners and partitions at perfect 90-degree angles so you have both hands-free to end fasteners unlike some corner clamps. That can be cumbersome to use the 90-degree corner. Clamp is simple. Plus, it works with ninety degree but joints and T joints used to attend shelves and partitions. All you have to do is squeeze the padded handles and the clamps castaluminum wedge and V shapes draw tight against the inside and outside faces of the joint. This holds the two pieces at exactly 90 degrees. A reversible corner style makes it easy to align the mating pieces in the clamp.
