Best Woodworking Tools At The International Woodworking Fair 2024

[@ThisTall]

I’ve been building drawers with that Titebond Melemine glue for at least 20 years. It works great.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Oh good to hear!

[@arimadx]

Damn, that automatic blast gate system woukd be a dream! Beats the heck outta switching which machine my dust collector is connected to and turning multiple things on every time I need to switch machines lol

[@BitnerBuilt]

Right! They actually sent me a whole set up and I will be doing it about a week and a half from now when I set up my new steel ducting for the new Harvey dust collector. We just got so stay tuned for that video! They even have a module for my air scrubber so when it detects particles in the air it auto turns it on

[@arimadx]

@@BitnerBuilt that's freakin awesome!

[@jimrosson6702]

So many great new tools and products to check out Thanks for sharing Justin

[@BitnerBuilt]

Thanks Jim, always fun to go to these events and see new toys 👍

[@AugustaWaterCooler]

Justin, I love your videos which is why I was surprised to see so much time dedicated to VERY high dollar tools general found in commercial/industrial shops, a $9,000.00 dolly, seriously that’s nuts for small shops and hobbyists. I was glad to see the often ignored Armor Tools pocket hole jig which has been criminally underrated IMHO, get noticed and now fall under a bigger brand which can market the Kreg alternative efficiently.

[@BitnerBuilt]

So the show was very much more industrial manufacturing stuff and very little in the ways of the small shop guys so I showed what I could with something for everyone. I have built 3 houses so I know that dolly is attractive for trades guy who work on new construction. there’s a lot more smaller stuff on the day 2 video coming out.

[@liquidrockaquatics3900]

@@BitnerBuilteven small shops sometimes need to invest in expensive tools to save their bodies. Trucks, forklifts, trailers, scaffolding, power tools. It’s not all about a step ladder and a hand saw.

[@dian3145]

I will have to look for those Freud bits! Thanks!!

[@BitnerBuilt]

Yea they are nice bits

[@egbluesuede1220]

your format was perfect for this. quick bites with suggestions on how to get more info.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Thanks!

[@bobmartin6055]

Thanks for sharing!

[@BitnerBuilt]

You bet!

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome video, man! Thanks a bunch! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@BitnerBuilt]

Thanks MC! U too

[@alandesgrange9703]

That's a cool $9000 cart. I think I'll wait for Harbor Freight's version. $59.95 with the 25% off coupon.

[@BitnerBuilt]

lol and then bends in half first use 😂 but seriously for pro contractors who deal with heavy big items this things very cool

[@thehawkc]

Awesome thanks

[@BitnerBuilt]

✌️day 2 will have some cool items as well!

[@ST-0311]

I have an Armor pocket hole jig, and love it. I have wondered how they've been so under the radar for years. I've never heard any major content creator even mention them before this video. Hopefully associating with Bora will bring them some well deserved exposure. I'm wondering if Harvey's nickle coating affects the use of magnetic accessories significantly.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Yea it looked nice, I will ask them on the magnet question. I like that they are putting that coating on all their cast iron tools, those are all heavy investment machines so it’s nice to keep them looking great 👍

[@razorwired130]

Harvey and Bora +++ 👍

[@BitnerBuilt]

✌️✌️

[@sculptureshard377]

I'm a guitar tech in Saskatchewan Canada and use Titetbond Original. Only problem is that the major suppliers do not carry it. Most frustrating.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Really?!? All the big box guys here carry original - 3 and even in the big jugs, you should ask one of the smaller guys to carry it maybe?

[@Coloradomodernwood]

Freud, anyone who’s used a round over bit knows if you set it to high in the router you’ll leave that exact edge. Easy catch

[@BitnerBuilt]

lol well there’s always that salesmanship / need to put on a compelling show at these live things, but yea it’s just set wrong - Freud / Diablo (same company) does make some good stuff however 👍

[@robertdehart7128]

Check out Klingspore show this year

[@BitnerBuilt]

Thanks for the recommendation! Is that the nc one in October? My xmas lighting biz has me working 7 days a week in Oct-December 15 so that’s the only time I can’t travel!

[@JustSayin823]

I love how some of these guys throw around costs for stuff like it's feasible for the average home woodworker. Most hobby woodworkers need a 2'x4' downdraft sanding table that starts around $4k. I've recently started spending coin but for a while my entire shop wasn't $4k, every tool in it!

[@BitnerBuilt]

Well, I would say this was more of an industrial type of show, so it’s not particularly the market that they’re selling for . Out of 1100 booths. I only found around 25 that were applicable for this video so yes expensive but I wouldn’t do it too much since this show wasn’t meant for the home DIY person

[@bobh64]

We sell the new saw stop revolution and people are returning it because it does not lock well to an angle, bump the fence end and no matter how much you tighten it it will move on you so you cant get repeatable miter cuts

[@BitnerBuilt]

Have you talked to them about it? I did a quick search for a readit thread on people complaining about it since it’s not a cheap one, didn’t see anything might be on a bad small batch?

[@lqlarry]

👍

[@BitnerBuilt]

✌️✌️

[@PrestigeChiro]

you can tell justins face with freud wanted to call the BS but he couldn't lol. we went super deep and fast with the first cut and took his proper time with the freud. they're good bits i wont lie but come on man lol

[@BitnerBuilt]

( Oh no! I have too many llamas! What ever can I do? Ah the lama fence! ) it’s the usual problem solution sales demo but agreed they make some great stuff, I own a ton so I’ll let that slide ✌️

[@PrestigeChiro]

@@BitnerBuilt haha. yah, i agree. ill definitely be trying the new bits though to see what they can do differently.

[@joewink2088]

$4,000 for the SMALLEST DUST TABLE!!! lmfao

[@BitnerBuilt]

This show was mainly commercial, lots of house priced machines there

[@FDJT-sj7id]

50 years ago my buddy’s dad built an air hockey table with a sheet of Formica (probably, I don’t remember exactly) and a shop vac reversed. He drilled a bunch of tiny holes and it worked great. Drill some slightly larger holes and ramp up the HP of the motor. You’ve got your table for less than $500. Tie it into your existing dust collection system (on the blow side) and you can probably make the table for less than $50.

[@dngriffiths8105]

The Armor Tool pocket jig is great in concept, but a poor performer. They're all plastic and not built to last. I've replaced mine with the far, far superior UJK all-metal pocket hole jig. Do the same, you won't regret it.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Thanks for the user feedback on that!

[@razorwired130]

$9k for the cart? Hmmmm

[@BitnerBuilt]

Well it’s a pro contractor tool.. and a tank! ✌️

[@Coloradomodernwood]

@@BitnerBuilt🤣 could buy a used skidsteer with forks right?

[@tableshaper4076]

Cabinet maker here... melamine glue doesn't work!

[@BitnerBuilt]

Really? Hmm I’m going to have to buy a bottle now and try it

[@adgieem1]

YOU, Do a better job of explaining / noting the details of the tools then the vendors do.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Haha thanks. I’d still give them the credit. I talk with them first so I can see if I like the product and want to show it and also so I know what questions to ask. A lot of people are nervous on camera!

[@fishgoblue8763]

Sorry, i bought the Armor tool pocket jig and it is so flimsy and not worth it at all. When i contacted the company they blow me off. Super disappointing.

[@BitnerBuilt]

Thanks for the feedback, now that bora bought it hopefully that customer service improves!
