The
'Digital Age' of Woodworking
Some of the most frustrating tasks you’ll face when setting up your
workshop equipment are also the most important. Making sure that the cut
you are about to make is correctly set up - with the blade tilted to the
correct angle, the height adjusted and the mitre angle corrected - will
affect the end result of your work.
We’re excited to offer three simple solutions - three new, unique
and highly accurate digital products - that will aid you with these tasks
by taking the guesswork out of setups.
Carba-Tec
Heavy Duty Digital
Angle Box
Designed for accurately measuring blade angles, digital angle boxes have
been available for a while. We now offer a solid, heavy-duty, high powered
unit with features you won’t find in other models. It features a
solid metal body to handle workshop knocks and bumps and is powered by
a 9 volt battery (instead of the traditional watch style battery). These
features ensure long life and consistently accurate results down to .05
degrees.
The large capacity battery (not included) is enclosed inside the unit
body. Side mounted magnets make calibration a breeze - there’s no
need to turn the unit sideways to stick it onto the blade. This means
more precise readings and it also means that the display reads horizontally
instead of vertically. Just zero it on the table, slide it over, stick
it to the blade and tilt. The new heavy duty model also features directional
arrows to indicate the direction of the tilt angle. The unit also includes
a screwdriver and storage box.
Carba-Tec
Digital Height Gauge
A simple yet effective tool that’s just as at-home on your router
table, spindle moulder, drill press or mortiser as it is on your table
saw. Many other digital units have the readout running vertically –
this makes for difficult reading and it makes it almost impossible to
use on a left tilting saw. However, with this unit we’ve taken the
‘pain in the neck’ out of setting accurate heights and angles
by offering an easy to read horizontal digital readout. This makes it
dead easy to set your cutter or blade height to within .01mm or 1/128”.
The readout also features decimal millimetres, decimal inches and fractional
inch readings. Its large and heavy metal base ensures its stability on
your machine’s work surface.
Carba-Tec
Digital Mitre Gauge
Probably our most exciting offer is our new Carba-Tec Digital Mitre Gauge.
This will change the way you produce mitre cuts and will speed up the
whole process of repeating these cuts. There’s no need for fancy
home-built jigs or trial and error cuts. This Digital Mitre Gauge will
replace your standard table saw mitre gauge and, in fact, will fit any
machine that has a ¾” x 3/8” mitre slot. The steel
body is manufactured to accept a homemade sacrificial fence but will also
accept most aftermarket mitre fence components, such as the Kreg Mitre
Fence. The large digital readout will give accurate readings as small
as .05 degrees and has mitre capability up to 60degrees in either direction.
The mitre gauge is simply zeroed off your fitted blade to ensure true
cuts and also permits adjustment on the bar to eliminate play in the mitre
track, play that will inevitably lead to nasty gaps in your mitre joints.
Summary
Straight out of the box, these three items will improve your precision,
speed up setup times and take the aggravation out of many workshop tasks.
All are easy upgrades to standard fitted accessories and require no complicated
instructions. With these your setup is simple - just zero it and set it!
