What do you do when you need to hand sand something on the job? If you are like me you grab an extra sanding belt from your electric belt sander, cut a piece of wood to length and width,  and then try to get a tight fit inside your belt. For a while now I have been thinking of how I could improve upon this method.

 

 

We have an in depth review on both the Final Cut 10" blade, and the Abrasive disks added to the In Depth Reviews section.

For those that don't know what Final Cut is, you can read the entire Final Cut review  or check out our post on it >> saw blade + sand paper = Final Cut

Thank you to Final Cut for supplying the Blade and Disks.

A lot of questions have been going around the woodworking community wondering why the newest Milwaukee miter saws (The 6955-20 and 6950-20) do not include the very much standard hold down clamp. Another question is why the right fence does not slide, while the left one does.

Not knowing these answers myself, I decided to send an email to Milwaukee, and see if I would get an answer.

I did, and here is what they said.

"The clamp is not included because the vast majority of professional finish carpenters (our target user) do not use clamps.
Regarding the sliding fence, while the right fence will not slide, it is easily removable."

The Bosch digital laser rangemeter DLR165K is the very first tool to be added to our In Depth Reviews section. It can be found in the Editor reviews tab under the home tab. Hopfully this is the first of many more to come .
