I sorta doubt if that would have much application in woodworking. The motion of the cutter requires a serious clamp/holddown device, and I suspect that it would do more shredding than cutting in most wood. It might do ok in something like hard maple, but I doubt if it would do well in pine. -- Adversity doesn't build character...................it reveals it. |

If this is a new design then it will take a little while before others can use the pat but once that happens I would imagine a lot of companies making these… Looks really neat. -- Dan - "Collector of Hand Planes" |

I was thinking about possible use in M&T and/or square dowel joinery. -- HorizontalMike -- "Woodpeckers understand..." |

Hmmm … In one of the old Woodwright Shows that the Create channel was running this summer, Roy Underhill was using a manual device (can’t recall the name of it) that could actually create squares and well as diamonds and some other patterns. It was used for brass inlays. —Gerry -- Gerry -- "I don't plan to ever really grow up ... I'm just going to learn how to act in public!" |

Roy did a very ‘boring’ episode that shows it in use: http://flash.unctv.org/woodwrightss/2800/wws_2807.html It is called a Passer Drill —Gerry -- Gerry -- "I don't plan to ever really grow up ... I'm just going to learn how to act in public!" |

Wow, that video is rather amazing. It sounds like that is also what cr1 is describing as well. I would never have thought that such a tool was invented that long ago. Thanks guys. -- HorizontalMike -- "Woodpeckers understand..." |

It’s stuff like that keeps me watching Roy Underhill’s shows … I’ll probably never use most of what he demonstrates, but I enjoy the historical perspective on the woodworking craft. Plus, I’m sort of a ‘keeper of odd knowledge’ (history major). It really gets deep when my brother-in-law (retired history professor) and I get together. —Gerry -- Gerry -- "I don't plan to ever really grow up ... I'm just going to learn how to act in public!" |

I see we have two threads of the same thing… pretty interesting but I wouldn’t hold my breath in the old woodshop just yet. -- If you're going to stir the pot, think BIG spoon or SMALL boat paddle. David Grimes, Georgia |

Mortise chisels make a square hole. Sum what limited on my mortise machine bud someone with a little machine shop ingenuity should be able to come up with a hand held version or at least one with more flexibility -- mike & judy western md. www. pvwoodcrafts.com pvwccf1@verizon.net |
