| Adam |  Finger JointingFebruary 27th, 2006 06:00 AM February 27, 2006 Finger Jointing A wobble blade may be able to create a finger joint. But, I believe the traditional stacked-dado blades, on a 1/4 inch finger, would provide a superior shaped female finger. There is also a Freud finger-joint blade setup that is supposed to create superior flat-faced female fingers, with virtually no tear out. As for the Craftsman tools going away, they are constantly in a state of flux. What was once available in any Sears store is now only available online or through Catalog ordering. We're up to something like the 4th version of Craftsman folding utility knife. The mid-sized sockets have been withdrawn and the 8 pnt. sockets are remote orderable only. When I started working for Sears, they still had traditionally socketed pushdrill bits. But now, you can purchase a Craftsman push drill that holds 1/4 inch hex drive bits and drill bits. We're not looking at Craftsman tools diminishing, as much as changing. Milled-face Carpenters' hammers have almost been completely replaced by professionals' choice Vaughan hammers. If you want a Craftsman milled-face hammer, go to your store's clearance section now! Unless you want to learn how to "repoint" the waffle faces, these type of old Craftsman hammers are probably not going to make you happy. I did succeed in getting the last... 23 oz. Framing Hammer in one of my local stores. |
