New Yankee Workshop Episode 1807

In this episode, demonstrating routers (part two of a two part project), Norm used the following tools:

• Bessey Kliklamp
• Bessey GRZ Super-Grip clamp
• Biesemeyer fence
• Combination square
• Dead blow hammer
• Delta 34-895 miter gauge
• Inlay template
• Porter-Cable 691 router
• Porter-Cable 693 router
• Porter-Cable 696 router table
• Porter-Cable 7518 router
• Porter-Cable 7529 router
• Porter-Cable 7539 router
• Porter-Cable 862 cordless drill
• Porter-Cable 892 router
• Porter-Cable Razor carbide saw blade
• Router table (shop built) new
• Shop built dado jig
• Unisaw
• Insert, oak insert

The 7539 big brute plunger wasn't actually used—Norm simply demonstrated a jig with it attached.

I was surprised to see the P-C 696 router table, which we haven't seen for more than ten years. I was also surprised to see the P-C 7529 installed in it. The 7529's first appearance was long after the 696 had been retired, and he had previously mostly used a P-C 690 in it.

I don't think we've seen that inlay template in a long time.

There were also a couple of other miscellaneous items laying around (like the AngleWright A-20 height gauge) that weren't actually used.

The safety speech included video of an operation on the router table (wide board).

No field trip.
