Introducing the Infinity Tools Vertical Router Sled

Let me paint you a picture, and tell me if it looks familiar. You’re in your workshop,  on the workbench to your right there’s a stack of walnut blanks, dimensioned to a spindly two inches wide by twelve inches long and a half-inch thick. You’re making – I don’t know – a humidor for your niece; doesn’t really matter, just keep reading. Now, in front of you is your router table, and in that router table is a shiny Lock Miter Router Bit from Infinity Tools. In order to use that router bit, you’re going to need to prop these two-inch wide sticks of wood against the fence VERTICALLY, and run each of them along the cutting edge, one-by-one.

Scary, right? There’s a lot that can go wrong here. You could – and probably will – tilt the wood by accident as it passes over the spinning cutting edge, which will, at best, ruin your joint. At worst, it could kick back and ruin your day.

Relax. Thanks to Infinity Cutting Tools new Vertical Router Sled, this is no longer a scenario to sweat over…

Knock On Wood…

IMG_5437There is nothing more satisfying than the sound of knocking on a real, solid wood front door, or interior door for that matter. But making these wooden portals can be challenging and expensive, especially if you want to make more than one style of door. At least, that was the case until now. We’re proud to introduce our new Insert-Pro Interior and Exterior Door Shaper Cutter System that will allow you to put custom craftsmanship on your front porch.

Those Are Nice Drawers!

Next time you hear someone say “nice drawers” assume they’re talking about the fine drawer box you made with the Infinity Tools Drawer Locking Router Bit and not your underwear.

When is the last time someone said to you “nice drawers”? If it’s been a while, it’s time to step up your game in the wood shop. When my goal is to make a strong and visually appealing joint quickly, I reach for the Drawer Locking Router Bit. The Drawer Locking Router Bit creates a strong interlocking joint with plenty of glue surface that only requires clamping in one direction during final assembly. The joint is also perfectly suited to be pin-nailed, allowing you to free up your clamps when making multiple drawers. New kitchen cabinets, anyone? Continue reading

“Profi” means “Professional” (we’re pretty sure, we don’t speak Czech)

Call me crazy, but I find chopping a mortise by hand to be one of the more enjoyable parts of a project. I get to grab a big beefy mortise chisel, a mallet that Thor would appreciate, and take out all my aggression on a piece of wood that will actually be of use when I am done!

But it may surprise you to know that this wasn’t always the case. In fact, before I got a proper set of mortise chisels, I would put off the task for as long as I could manage. The right tool can make all the difference on your outlook about the work that we do, and once you make the step into a quality set of chisels the difference really is quite staggering. If you are ready to make that step, then I think that you’ll find these Narex Profi Mortise Chisels will make a world of difference…

Frankly, My Dear, I Need More Chisels

Paring chisels, the Clark Gable of the chisel world.

Paring chisels are the Clark Gable of the chisel world. Tall and Slender, graceful yet masculine, not perfect for every part but when the right role comes along they will knock your socks off. Narex makes a great set of these not-so-common tools and when it comes to fine tuning the fit of a tenon, reaching into tight stop dados, or cleaning up some end grain, these paring chisels are Oscar-worthy.

IMG_3665

The Narex 4-Pc Paring Chisel set includes chisels measuring a true 1/4″,1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ making it the perfect set for almost any job.

There are a few details that make a paring chisel great and Narex nailed them all. A paring chisel needs Continue reading

Askew’z Me, Sir, But That’s One Fine Lookin’ Set of Chisels

IMG_3599

Paging Doctor Dovetail: your new set of skew chisels are in the operating theater.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried finishing up a hand cut dovetail with a square bench chisel only to find that the nice sharp detail I worked so hard to add ended up just beyond my reach. This is where a skew chisel shines, because the angular design of the cutting edge allows me to trim the fuzz out of the minuscule corner of a half blind dovetail or finish off any number of other little details on a project without fear of damaging the surrounding material. I was very excited when I finally got the chance to get my hands on some of the Narex Skew Chisels now being offered here at Infinity Cutting Tools. I have always been impressed with the tools Narex produces, like their bench chisels and rasps, and I was quite hopeful that these new skew chisels would leave me equally enamored. Continue reading

Making Automated Dust Collection Universal

IMG_3340

The iVac Pro Tool plus makes it easy to hook up any machine in your shop to an iVac Automated Dust Collection System.

One of my favorite devices in the Infinity Cutting Tools workshop is our iVac Pro Dust Collection System. It automatically activates our three horsepower dust collector whenever I turn on one of our table saws or our jointers or our surface planers or… you get the idea. It’s an absolute dream that keeps us from having to think about dust collection when we’re already trying to think about everything else that goes into a project.
