MOCAP - X-treme Tape Quick Clamp Wrap
The Quick Clamp Wrap provides a firm grip on mitered boxes and other forms that don’t clamp easily
Nov 01, 2009
When a couple of tape rolls arrived on my desk claiming to be better than duct tape, I took them home to find out. X-treme Tape’s Quick Clamp Wrap is 1-in.-wide by 10-ft.-long roll and sells for $7 a roll. It is made of silicone and when stretched it adheres permanently to itself but leaves no residue on the workpiece. To test it, I clamped up a mitered box, using masking tape to align the sides first. After a few hours I carefully peeled apart the tape, thinking I might be able to use it again. But the tape can’t be reused. It is available at Woodcraft www.woodcraft.com).

Diablo ‘SandNet’ Sanding Discs
While Diablo’s SandNet disks perform similarly to conventional paper abrasives in terms of material removal and surface prep (with some exceptions at the lower grits), they make keeping your work surface and work area clean much easier, thanks to the great dust collection possible with them.
Craftsman Random Orbit Sander
While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
