Bessey - Bessey- Toggle Clamp
Sep 29, 2011
Bessey’s new toggle clamps ($20), made for securing workpieces on shopmade jigs, self-adjust for almost any workpiece. They come in two sizes, one for workpieces up to 2 in. thick, and another for workpieces up to 2-3/4-in. thick. Say good-bye to raising the clamps with blocks to handle thicker workpieces, and fussing with the bolt above the clamp pad. The Bessey clamps also have big handles and a built-in screw that adjusts clamping force.

Veritas Precision Square
This precision square is incredibly versatile, from checking squareness to dialing in machine setups.
Starrett 4" Double Square
Head is easy to remove, replace, and lock down; narrowest blade, at 5⁄8 in., made it easier to fit into tight places; hard to read under bright lights.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
