Introducing the Sand Flee -- Our newest SPT is a "finish sander" that offers unmatched control,
letting you sand perfectly flat surfaces. Nick Engler
reports what he's found after using the tool for six months |

2.
Sanding Test
-- We compared the Sand Flee to a high-quality random orbit
sander by sanding several species of wood and inspecting the
surfaces with a low-power microscope. This not a video.
It's a photo comparison of our test results. |

3. Setting Jointer Knives --
Nick takes the fear and loathing out of the chore of replacing
your jointer knives. With a simple shop-made jig, you can set
the height right on the money. |

patterns from inlaid veneer with the aid of a scrollsaw. See how
