Parallel jaw machinist hand screw, $8.00...Preac aluminum hand screw, and C-clamps

The machinist hand screws are often used for a removable fence on a saw or shaper. They are very sturdy and will not slip in use.

The Preac miniature clamps are available in two sizes of C-clamp and a hand screw. They were designed with the ship modeler in mind and are perfect for half and quarter scalers. They can be purchased singly at prices of $3.00 for the small C-Clamp, $4.00 for the large C-clamp and $6.00 for the hand screw or in a 12 piece assortment for $30.00.

The small spring clamps are useful in all kinds of situations. The are light yet have enough clamping pressure to form a glue joint.

The Ring Clamp allows you to work on small parts while holding an object that is comfortable in your hand. A wooden wedge holds the clamp together as the leather covered jaws hold the work. One end is straight and the other is rounded. This easy to use tool eliminates cramps in fingers when sanding or filing small parts of wood, metal or plastic.

Hemostats can be used to hold parts for painting, finishing, grinding, sanding and even sometimes as a clamp. They are available straight and curved and with smooth or serrated jaws. When grinding, these stainless steel tools withstand heat very well.

Tweezers_Regular_ $5.00, Specialty, $8.00 ..............Hinge Pin Setting Tweezer_$9.00

We carry straight, curved, blunt, pointed, self locking and slide locking tweezers. The fine pointed, precision tools are useful for detailed work . The stamp forceps have wide flat jaws. E-mail us for your individual tweezer needs.

We make the Hinge Pin Tweezers in our shop. Every unit we make is tested by picking up a tiny pin. Pin holes should be predrilled with a number 76 drill in most wood. This tool also works with the tiny wiring pins.

The sheet metal cutters were designed to cut off photo etched pieces. They are excellent for cutting straight lines in sheet metal.

The nipper is the first tool we ever carried on the show table. It is indispensable for cutting nonferrous metal pins flush. We use them often to cut off hinge pins and brass wire. They can also be used to cut off plastic gates and small pieces of wood molding. Made by Xuron.

These needle nosed pliers are stamped out of the same SAE 1075 grade carbon steel that is used to make flexible putty knives. The points of the pliers will spring back to their original position and will not bend like forged pliers. The smooth points are accurate enough to pull a single hair out of a paint brush. A spring keeps the blades open on all the Xuron tools.

Cutting steel wire with nippers or sheet metal cutters nicks and destroys the blade. That is why Xuron designed these hard wire cutters, which even work on hardened piano wire without damaging the tool. Tool cuts non-ferrous wire also.

A square is an indispensable tool for assembly work and we use two different squares for different purposes. When holding work in hand and wishing to scribe a line the blade square is the most convenient. On the other hand, when squaring a piece of furniture it is extremely convenient to lay the flat square on the bench as shown in the picture. Both tools are made of carbon steel and have machinist tolerances.

Six" X 3/4" Stainless Steel Rule_$10.00

The machinists rule is stiff, not floppy, and fits well in your hand. It is graduate in eighths and sixteenths of an inch on one side and thirty-seconds and sixty-fourths of the other side. The matte finish is easy to read. Markings are etched and will not wear off.

Six Inch, Stainless Steel Depth Ruler_$4.00.........Adjustable Depth and Angle Gauge_$12.00

The flexible six inch depth measuring ruler is very useful for making a series of multiple measurement or for checking depths.

The adjustable depth gauge is heavier and more positive than the ruler. It also allows setting angles as a protractor. Common angle lines are permanently etched on the cross member.

The file card is used for cleaning saw dust out of needle files. Files will seem dull when they are only clogged. Essential for wood turners and for those working in resinous wood such as pine.

Needle files are important when shaping wood, plastic and even resin or polymer clay. Our standard set has ten American pattern files in a medium size which is easier to hold than the tiny tools.

E-mail us with special file needs for special projects.

We now have replaced difficult epoxy with Roo Glue for Metal in hinges and similar application. It is water soluble, odorless and dries clear. It dries quickly and has a long shelf life. 2 oz. bottle.

Roo for Wood is a clear white glue that has many properties similar to yellow wood glue without the color. It dries very quickly and is rigid without being brittle. 2 oz. bottle.

We use the Glue syringe for all our water soluble adhesives. It allows you to meter out just the right amount of glue. The cap helps keep the nozzle from drying out and plugging up.

Are you a Preac table saw owner who is tired of fiddling around changing blades and locking the arbor height? We have found a 7/16" Nut Driver which makes changing the blade a snap. We also now have a T-wrench that fits the cap screws that lock the blade arbor height.
