Hand-Screw Vise Holds Odd Pieces on Drill Press

To make a versatile drill-press vise for round or irregular workpieces, start with an inexpensive 10-in. wood hand screw. Cut a 110° notch out of each jaw with a bandsaw. Clamp the hand screw to the drill-press table and you now have a vise that can securely hold a piece up to 8 in. in. diameter.

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.

Ridgid R4331 Planer

Priced nearly $300 less than the DeWalt 735X, the Ridgid R4331 is an excellent value. Its three-knife cutterhead left wonderfully clean surfaces on plainsawn white oak and white pine. It did not perform nearly as well on curly maple as the 735X.
