PRODUCT NEWS
Super Scroll
The B-18V scroll saw is an all-round machine with a powerful, variable speed motor easily able to cope with its 50mm depth of cut. The cast iron table tilts to 45° and has plenty of workspace for larger projects. The base is also cast iron with rubber feet to eliminate vibration. The machine takes pinned and pinless blades and has a large tensioning knob easily accessible at the rear of the top arm. The integrated flexible LED light, dust blower and blade guard keep cut lines in view. www.machineryhouse.com.au/W352
Silicon Fingers
Forget using your fingers as glue spreaders. Titebond’s silicon glue brush costs as little as $4.50. Clean up is a breeze – when dry glue peels off the ‘bristles’ or the opposite end which doubles as a paddle for pushing glue into difficult areas. A simple but brilliant workshop tool. www.carbatec.com.au
