Festool Junkie:
A Festool Dealer with everything Festool. A really cool web site with the entire collection of Festool equipment as well as some helpful tips on what to consider when buying a tool. Free shipping on orders of $25 or more. Definately worth a visit to view some fine German Engineering. .
Black and Decker:
A familiar name in most households.
Delta Machinery:
Makers of some of the finest woodworking machinery
available. The Unisaw and 14 inch bandsaw are
industry standards copied by many of the leading
importers.
Dewalt:
A name associated with the finest Radial Arm Saw
money could buy. The company no longer makes the
Radial Arm saw but, their line of power tools will
be every bit as legendary.
Dremel:
The Dremel Rotary tool has loads of uses and is a
handy tool to have in the shop. The line expands
to a scroll saw very popular with hobbyists.
Eagle America:
They carry a line of American made router bits,
jigs, blades and assorted tools and accessories.
Forrest Saw
Blades (3D Table Saw Blades) I've gone to a
number of shows and watched the demos. I finally
decided to give them a shot. I thought the price
was a little much but after a years worth of use,
this is the finest blade I have ever used. The only
time I take it out of the saw is to use the dado
blade. The edges are so smooth, I don't use a
jointer anymore.
Jet:
Originally a manufacturer of Delta clones, they
have really come in to their own in recent years
offering a good line of imported tools.
Jimmy-Jig:
Seumas Mccombie has been promoting his product
pretty hard. Jimmy Jig is a fence system. It's self
engineered and looks pretty well constructed. I
wish him the best on his venture. The page not only
has a detail description with photo's of the Jimmy
Jig, but links as well.
Lie-Nielsen Toolworks:
Located in Maine are makers of some beautiful hand
tools. In fact hand tools is an understatement.
These are heirloom quality pieces of art.
Porter Cable:
An excellent supplier of professional level tools.
Their belt sanders are the standard in any wood
shop.
Performax:
They set the standard for small shop drum sanders.
They have a broad line of large commercial drum
sanders as well.
Powermatic:
A manufacturer of commercial grade stationary
tools, now owned by Jet, but still marketed under
the Powermatic name.
Ridge Carbide Tool Manufacturing:
They manufacture blades, cutters, router bits.
Stanley:
They have been making hand tools for a long time. I
doubt there’s a workshop around that doesn’t have a
Stanley tool of some kind in it. Their pneumatic
line of Bostich nailers is known for durability and
performance.
