In Stock Chopstick Master---Master Your Happiness CSMv1 Chopstick Master Gen.1, a unique tabletop tool, Chopstick Master allows anybody, regardless of experience, age 8 and up, to make a pair of gallery-quality Chinese chopsticks and Japanese chopsticks. This original design utilizes a Japanese blade to form the finials on the end of the Chopsticks. John, who has been designing woodworking tools for over 30 years, wants to design a tool that could be used without any prior knowledge of woodworking, so that everyone, including children, would be able to enjoy the simple pleasure of making something by hand. In creating such a tool, he would first need to create a project that everyone would enjoy making, be simple to understand and easy to use. After a long period of research, John found that chopstick is the one. For China, the world's most populous country chopsticks are both daily and culturally object. Suppose that people can make a pair of chopsticks used by themselves. That would be an exciting and meaningful matter. As a result, John carefully designed the "Chopstick Master" tool. Experience the happiness of becoming a crafts man with the Chopstick Master Even if you’re a busy professional, you can take 10 minutes to make a pair of personal chopsticks by yourself; If you’re an artist, enjoy every minute of the innovative process, to create a pair of chopsticks you like; If you have never tried woodworking, and are looking for a simple and easy project designed for all ages, including the elderly and children, you can make a pair of classic chopsticks with the Chopstick Master™. Teaching you how to make chopsticks in six steps Making Chopstick Master is not only easy, but making a pair of chopsticks is done in only 6 steps. 01—Mark four sides the chopsticks with number To make the four bevels of chopsticks, mark “1 / 2 / 3 / 4" at the end of each side of the chopstick blanks for tracking the making of each bevel. 02—Choose the type of chopsticks you want to make With the Chopstick Master you can make Chinese chopsticks and Japanese chopsticks, when making Chinese chopsticks, select the red arm; when making Japanese chopsticks, select green arm. (The diameter of tip end of Chinese chopsticks is 5mm, the diameter of tip end of Japanese chopsticks is 2mm.) 03—— Make four sides of chopsticks If you want to make a pair of Chinese chopsticks, first set both adjustment knobs to “1”, and install the face of the chopstick that you marked “1” into the chopstick jig on a diagonal resting it against the pin near the front of the jig and against the back of the red arm. Fix the wedges on both sides of the chopstick until the chopstick is firmly secured. Use the block plane to cut the chopstick. The plane automatically stops cutting the chopstick at the correct thickness. Repeat the same process on the chopstick face marked “2”. Rotate the chopstick to the face that is marked “3”, adjust the knobs to “2”, and fix the wedges until the chopstick is secure and use the block plane to cut the chopstick. Repeat the process for the chopstick face marked “4”. (When making Japanese chopsticks, place the green arm in the chopstick master jig and turn the adjustment knobs to “2” when cutting faces 1 and 2 and then turn the adjustment knobs to “3” when cutting faces 3 and 4. The tip of the chopstick will be thinner at 2mm.) 04——Shaping the Octagon Tip Keep both adjustment knobs set to “2”, (Japanese chopstick is “3”). Place one corner edge of the chopstick blank in the “V” groove located in the arm. The narrow end of the chopstick should still be against the stop at the far end of the arm. Hold the plane in your favorite hand and with the opposite thumb push the blank into the stop at the end of the arm. Plane the corner of the blank that is facing up until the plane quits cutting. You will only need to plane the far one-half to one-third of the length of the chopstick. Repeat for the other 3 edge corners. When complete, you should have a perfectly shaped octagon on the tip of each blank. 05——Making the Pyramidal Finial For the Chopstick Master 1 attach the sliding table to the Chopstick Master body. It should slide smoothly without any slop. Insert the saw blade between the body and the blade clamp, with the narrow end of the blade closest to the orange bench hook and the teeth pointing upward. Place the chopstick on the sliding table transversely. Place your right thumb in the indent at the rear of the sliding table, and use your right index and middle fingers to firmly hold the chopstick down. With your hand firmly in place, push the sliding table forward using 90% of the blade being careful to not to push the chopstick all the way off of the blade. Rotate the chopstick 90° and make sure it is against the stop and make the second cut. Repeat for the 3rd and 4th cuts. The result should be a perfect pyramidal fifinial at the end of each chopstick. 06——Sanding, oiling and resting Your chopsticks are almost done now. If there are corners that feel sharp, lightly sand with 400 grit sandpaper After sanding, you can use oil to handle the surface, then set aside for a few minutes, you can put chopsticks in cloth chopsticks bag to take home for use. *All parts of the tool need to be checked and debugged before and after use, including debugging of block plane, sliding table, sharpening operation, selecting operation position etc., which have simple and detailed operation steps in the product instruction.

JMPv2 Jointmaker Pro v2
$929.00
In Stock What is the Jointmaker Pro? The Jointmaker Pro is nothing more than an adjustable back saw in a frame. Rather than the blade moving forward and backward as is typical with every handsaw in the world, it is held in place and the stock, rigidly attached to linear tables, is moved over the top of the blade. The angle of attack is adjustable based upon either the thickness of the material, the width of the material or the hardness of the material, or any combination of the three. What makes the Jointmaker Pro so unusual is that it is a handsaw that is cutting from the bottom up. PRECISION CUTTING Blade with high quality As the core part, the high quality of the blade is the guarantee of cutting performance. If you were to take the blade and put it in a hand saw, it would work just like a dozuki crosscut pull saw. The blade is one of the finest crosscut saws made on this planet, it is patented and each tooth has four separate grinds with 28 teeth per inch (Crosscut A). Multiple blade types for choice There are four types of blades, Crosscut A (standard part) is the most commonly used blade, whose kerf is as small as 0.4 mm, and will satisfy most cutting requirement. Crosscut B (optional part), is best for the soft woods; Crosscut C (optional part) is a little wider than Crosscut A, this blade was designed for fret wire, but it is also used for cutting dense woods; Rip Blade (optional part) gives an incredible finish when ripping your stock, it can be used for dovetails making. NYLON GEAR The gears are nylon. This is a perfect application for nylon gears. There is no backlash and it is a low-load and low-rpm mechanism. SLIDING STRUCTURE MOVES SMOOTHLY The JMPv2 uses cylindrical guide and linear bearing system (sealed bearing), the accuracy of parallelism of all the parts is high. The system needs no adjustment or lubrication (assembled in factory). The operation is easy with lttle noise, which ensures the smooth cutting experience. Table sliding parallel with blade The parallelism accuracy of the sliding direction of the table, the blade and the guide rail is very high. The straightness accuracy of the cylindrical guide rail is within 0.025 mm. This parallelism accuracy can complete the fine cutting of the miniature stock. A clean and tidy cut can be obtained by this sliding system. Even if you put a small piece of paper by the side of blade on the table, then pushing the fence forward and back, you cannot find any gap between the paper and blade at all. Silent linear bearing, the cutting can be operated by one hand Linear sealed acetyl bearings provide a sliding process with low friction, which avoids the clogging caused by dust getting into bearings. The noise is smaller than power tools. The cutting can be completed by one-hand operation. SIMPLE ADJUSTMENT OF BLADE HEIGHT, ANGLE AND TILTING The blade height and pitch can be easily adjusted via the keel assembly The adjustment mechanism of the keel assembly features gears with minimal backlash, which can not only ensure smooth rotation, but also the accurate setting of the blade height and pitch. The blade can be freely tilted via a trunnion assembly The blade can be tilted via a trunnion assembly up to 45° by left or right side. The four included stops can set the tilt angle quickly for repeat cutting. THE WOODEN FENCE AND JAWS The Fences and Trap Jaws are made of Poplar. The trap jaws can be used to hold the wood stock against fence quickly for cutting accurately. They are consumable items and replacements are available to order or you can make your own. SPECIAL PROCESSING WITH SELECT MATERIAL Anodized aluminium sliding table The sliding tables are made from anodized aluminium, which makes them not only have good anti-friction and high hardness but also the exquisite appearance of matte finishing. High-hardness cylindrical guide bar The cylindrical guide is made of 40Cr steel which is T235 hardened and tempered . After chroming, the surface of the guide bar is bright, good-looking, rust proof and hard.

PC-PF Pivot Clamp for JMPv2 Precision Fence
$49.00
Precision Fence Pivot Clamp HOW IMPORTANT IS WORK HOLDING? It is the most important aspect for repeatable results. Because the saw is cutting from the bottom up, you are fighting negative feed-this is the tendency of the board to move upward resisting the cut. This upward tendency needs to be completely eliminated with proper work holding. It is particularly critical when the blade is tilted. If the stock move upward while the blade is tilted, you will almost always jam your stock on the blade, which is not good. DESCRIPTION Use this pivoting hold-down clamp to secure work to the table surface of your JMPv2. Tightening the knob applies pressure to both clamp pads, simultaneously locking both the work and the clamp into position. The pivoting action and swiveling clamp pads provides the flexibility to hold a variety of workpieces- even non-flat pieces -in a wide range of positions. lts MBx 130 hex head bolt slips through a table slot and can be positioned anywhere along the slot. MATERIAL QUALITY It is made of anodized aluminum, so that it is of high strength, wear resistance and rust-proof.
