He meant to say ferrous metals like cast iron. Not non ferrous.. nothing to see here people. Thank you for all your great videos and cool tools. Keep them coming. I learn something every video you make so thank you Once again

[@jonballard4453]

I apologize for being redundant. At least I didn't put the definition in the comments in a most condescending manner. I knew exactly what you meant. My previous comment was just men being a smart-ass.

[@boxsterman77]

I'm sure you meant to say that the band saw fence magnets will hold to any FERROUS surface, of which cast iron is an example. You said instead that it will stick to non-ferrous surfaces.

[@gregm2181]

The Carter Magfence II has been around for a long time, and together with the FAST system are phenomenal for fast setup. Taytools offerings are generally great, but there’s really no competition here. Plus, sitting through Alex Snodgrass demoing Carter products taught me more about the the bandsaw then everything else put together.

[@dnngskn62]

The digital gage by far. I used the digital ever since they came available in machine shop work. can't beat them.

[@robertball3578]

I have switched to digital gauges as my eyes have aged. Doesn't solve all problems like forgetting to taper the top of a riser (wife spotted it before assembly went too far).

I like the analog iGaging the best. I use 'setup blocks' to set it, then use it to set router bit or saw blade depth.

Brilliant to add a convenient link to the playlist of all videos in this series ; many thanks, and best wishes for continued success!

[@TheWoodFly]

What kind of faith must I have that the moment I happen upon your latest vid, you get a thumbs up? Never been disappointed. Looking forward to a couple of these joining my shop. One correction at 1:49 - I do believe you mean the magnets will stick to any ferrous (iron) vs. non-ferrous (ex: aluminum) surface.

[@dougk5456]

I am in retirement mode and still do some woodworking. I have several of these battery powered devices. The woodworking I do is for projects that take me a considerable amount of time and I don't use these battery powered devices very often. What I find is that when I do want to use one, the battery is dead. With that said I would advise anyone looking at a battery powered device to think about how often you would use it. For me now, I would choose the non battery powered device.

[@artswri]

YAY! Another Kool teuls vid. Always enjoy them, and usually buy at least one. This time it's the analog router gauge and the vac hose. But I always appreciate hearing about new stuff, never know when a need will arise. Thanks for another happy time! Btw My ranking of router gauges. Digital scores 9 points for features and versatility. Analog scores 7 points... Plus 1,000 points for "no batteries", so 9 vs 1,007. (1:50 "hold on any nonferrous surface" He meant ferrous surface)

[@holdemNE1]

Harvey T-40 Lathe. Per Stump's advice, I just bought this lathe a few weeks ago and haven't used it yet. Turns out it is a 220v so I need to update my electrical outlet before I can use it. He never mentioned this and since my 2 prior lathes only used 110 outlets, I never once thought to research this before buying. Don't get me wrong, I still would have bought it......just thought I might let you all know this fact that was overlooked.

[@Buckey1194]

Just got my EZ-Check height gauge. Great product, great quality, at a great value.

[@rjpaulsen1]

My Bora Centipede is awesome. It is the perfect table when I need more room. The Milescraft SandPlane is excellent for sanding molding.

[@onemancrewtrade5151]

I really like the retractable vacuum hose., I do allot of residential renovations and remodels and always use a vacuum for and after cleaning debris for or from my power tools. The shop vac hose happens to be always on the way within the space between tools, materials, and or kitchen cabinets or hallways. Great idea I’m implementing it on my tool arsenal.. as always thanx for sharing your knowledge and videos. God Bless 🙏

[@vincebenjamin]

Just ordered the digital gauge. Looks like a winner.

[@flatlander523]

The analog gauge would be OK if it had a vernier scale. Otherwise, I would and have gone digital. Very nice video tonight. I am going to try one of those hoses.

[@TrevorDennis100]

@1:45 non ferrous? I think you meant to say 'ferrous' James. A, analogue height gauge for saw and router makes a nice little shop project. Adhesive scale tapes are cheap as chips and available at most DIY stores. I had some 30mm X 3mm aluminium in my metal stock pile when I made mine, but hard wood would work. I have a lot of Chinesium tools including a digital height gauge for router and saw height setting, and a digital tire tread gauge that I have modified with a magnetic base for plane iron setting. They cost next to nothing from Bangood, and I use them constantly. I had intended to use my Bosch 1600CE table mounted using the fixed base, but it was not working well, so when the 240V Triton came back in stock I swapped it out and the Bosch now lives in its plunge base. It is now one of my favourite tool, and I especially love its fence micro adjust which is calibrated with Imperial and metric scales, and is dead on accurate.

[@mikeford963]

That was my first thought too about that magnetic fence. Cast Iron is a VERY ferrous metal, it's name kinda states that.

[@funkypunkypine]

I have the 6 and 12 inch combination squares from iGaging and am in love. They're very high quality and very affordable. I paid something like sixty dollars for the set. That's half the price of the 12 inch Starrett. Really great tools, they even come in a nice case.

[@55ATA3]

Great job on the video, wish I was younger and still needed some of the tools you showed. I think I would have used the EZ-Check digital gauge the most.

[@morokeiboethia6749]

Although not the same tool, I bought 2 sets of aluminum space/gauge blocks that come in a set of 10. They make things sooooo much easier that require certain spacing - mainly fence to blade spacing and setting the reveal on a door jamb.

[@theamputeewoodworker1473]

I prefer the EZ check digital gauge as it could be used to set a table saw as you mentioned. In fact it was already on my list of tools to buy before I saw this video

[@BKMakes]

ooh, that digital router gauge looks nice.. thanks James!

[@descargaelbano]

That magnetic digital gauge can also be used when turning a flywheel on import cars such as toyota, honda, fiat, etc.... Many of them have a step on the face of the flywheel and that can be used to maintain the correct height while machining both surfaces. I still have my old one which has just a dial indicator on it.

[@noelrebuelta7248]

Wow its really amazing tools! Thank you and more power.

[@chriswaldron2617]

I like digital gauges for my router table, as difference of a 1/100th of a mm can be big difference for repeatability as you called out. I’d never not have one.

[@markhoulding1938]

Your quite right you have to use your eyes to read off the analog gauge and get your head down to the right height like I have to with my 10/10 powder scale But as the saying goes sometimes simple is better Great show by the way 👍

[@mhaz49]

Just a note on the Dust Right hose; it is cheaper buying from Rockler directly than from Amazon. It is/was on sale for $31.99 and I got free shipping. Amazon is/was $39.99 + $12 shipping.

[@MrShadyCash]

I'm usually not a fan of Milescraft but I came across that sanding plane in a Menards store as well. I've had it for about 2 years now. It was 7.99 and worth every penny. Great video man.

[@kwilliams2239]

Analog gauge! I've bought tons of the digital gauges. Every time I reach for one, the battery is dead. The coin cells these things use are expensive and don't last long. You can't just buy them by the dozen. I've gotten rid of every digital gauge I have, including calipers. Dial calipers are far better, too.

[@kwilliams2239]

I forgot that I have one of iGauging's older digital gauge. It's battery is always dead when I go to use it, just like any Wixey widget I've bought over the years. I have a very nice Wixey fence gauge on my table saw. I'd use it all the time if it wasn't always dead. I bought a Woodpecker's analog gauge to replace it.

[@navret1707]

For only a $10 difference in the fence gauges I would take the digital. With my old eyes the digital gauge seems easier to read.

[@descargaelbano]

Yeah, I was actually pretty impressed at how cheap the digital gauge was.

[@twistedlimb4053]

and if you have two people on the same project the digital will be read the same by both

[@paulfowler3416]

Trend in UK also do a multifunction router base, more or less essential piece of kit.

[@StumpyNubs]

I believe M-Power licenses their base to Trend.

[@johnslaughter5475]

I took a look at the two gauges and think I'd be more likely to use the digital one. However, given their very affordable prices, I'll get each. There might be times where I want the analog, especially as I come out of winter and I find the digital needs a battery before I can use it. I've also ordered the SandPlane. Anything that can make sanding an easier job is worth it.

[@kevinorr6880]

Harvey used to build tools for other companies I think. I look for the opportunity to buy a lathe also.

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day James, fantastic selections there mate. I especially dig that sanding block and really like the idea of the fence on a pedestal drill table. I will say; I do not tolerate measuring tools, including verniers and others, that require batteries, nuff said. Cheers Duke.

Just curious about the carabiner around the band saw blade. A Secret Pro Top Alignment Tool? :-) Love your channel, Mr. Nubs. You possess knowledge beyond your years.

[@StumpyNubs]

It reminds me the blade tension is released. When I lower the quick-tension handle the carabiner comes off the blade and snaps on the handle.

You could also use some loctite on the screw of the fence. This screw ain't going nowhere with some Loctite 2700.

A german woodworking youtuber, goes by jonas winkler, always recommends a mechanical pencil called "Zebra Delguard". since mechanical pencils break so easy, that pencil basically has a metal sheathing around the mine, that extends as soon as you apply too much pressure, stopping it from breaking. i got one myself and they are pretty neat. would recommend :)

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

At most office supply stores, you can also get a "Draftsman's Pencil" which is mechanical and simply has a thicker lead... It takes a little getting used to, since you hold the end bit down to loosen the grip of the barrel on the lead and adjust the "length" with a finger tip, releasing to let it clamp down... AND with thicker lead, there are times some fine sand paper is useful to bring it to a precision point... BUT for the obnoxious markings to break down or for stuff like framing and "rough cuts" it's a reasonable alternative to a carpentry crayon that you don't really need to carry about for anything else... Just a thought. ;o)

[@papparocket]

I have a chicken and the egg problem for the shop I am planning. I want to build all of the shop tables and benches myself rather than buying any, especially a workbench. First I want to save money and be able to customize the bench to my space rather than my space to a commercial bench, and second so I can learn some of the techniques and skills making shop furniture before I make real furniture for the house. But to do this I need a good solid and stable workbench for routing, sanding, assembly, glue-up and finishing. Is the Bora spider surface with their worktops stable enough to allow me to build my first workbench? Or does it flex and wiggle so much that it won’t give me the stability to build a well aligned workbench?

[@StumpyNubs]

The Centipede is very stable for power tool use (I don't think it's heavy enough for serious hand tool woodworkers). If it's going to be stationary, use a piece of plywood for the top. It'll be less expensive. The tops in this video are ideal if it has to be portable.
