Operators looking for more flexibility and capacity should consider the model 72GP glue pot edgebander, says Safety Speed.

The dependable glue pot machine with adjustable glue extrusion performs similar to other units costing thousands of dollars more, it adds, making it a suitable choice for the small to medium sized woodworking shop.

Features and benefits include:

• digital PID temperature control to reduce glue overheating and burning with standby temperature mode;
• micro adjust tape guide makes changing tape widths fast and simple;
• electromagnetic end cutters means no need for compressed air supply;
• dust collection outlet keeps trimmings off the workpiece and the floor;
• anodized glue pot interior for ease of cleaning; and,
• 10-12 minute glue heat up time.

Double end tenoners announced by Mereen-Johnson — from simple single function to multi-station applications — are said to be designed and built for the severe-duty requirements of multiple shift production.

Units provide greater accuracy, repeatability, lower maintenance and allow for superior joint and finish quality, even at higher feed speeds, the company says.

Made from cast iron and steel weldment construction, units are available with the company’s severe duty, high efficiency, arbor motors. In addition, precision double-vee and multi-vee feed chains with snap-in lugs are custom built for each application requirement.

Benefits include:

• lower rebuilding and replacement costs;
• controls that provide fast changeovers and production flexibility;
• needle bearing chains; and,
• pop-up feed lugs.

CNC motion and set-up position controls are suitable for applications such as angle gaining, arched panels, barrel or column production. HSK type and other tool changing systems are also available.

The Mission corbels and legs from Osborne Wood Products are suitable for blending old and the new styles.

The mission style of design is rooted in the architecture of the Spanish missions that were scattered about the Southwestern region of what is now the U.S. Mission furniture was often made out of oak for its strength and durability, and the decorative elements generally consisted of carved out square or rectangular recesses.

Mission pieces available vary from the Spanish or California Revival pieces in their detail.

Table saw accessories specialist Microjig has introduced the Zeroplay 360 sled kit.

The kit is said to combine the precision and ease of the company’s Zeroplay miter bars with its Matchfit dovetail hardware to create a versatile sled in the workshop, allowing woodworkers to make accurate, safe crosscuts with a table saw.

The kit includes one Zeroplay miter bar and the new Matchfit dovetail hardware variety pack. To create a custom sled, cut plywood to size, route dovetail grooves with a ½-inch, 14-degree dovetail bit and install the miter bar.

With one touch calibration, woodworkers can fill the full width of the miter slot without side-to-side movement, the company says, and the dovetail grooves allow users to set the fence at any angle with the dovetail hardware.

No matter at which angle a person is cutting, the miter bar is said to keep the sled parallel to the blade at all times.
