A torque wrench is absolutely indispensable to get the best out of your CNC router. If you are too tight you risk damaging the machine and if you’re too loose you don’t get the precision you need.
Torque wrenches are precision measuring instruments. They don’t stay calibrated forever. Fluctuations in temperature, normal use, the occasional drop all affect the performance.
Torque wrenches also wear out. Even when they’re made with the finest materials, as ours are, you still have the materials rubbing against each other and eventually that wear is going to show up.
If you have an old torque wrench or torque wrench that won’t stay calibrated anymore that torque wrench we offer is an excellent product. It is very precise and reasonably priced.
Check your current torque wrench and, if it needs replacing, buy one of these.
If you’re adding more CNC machines you might consider having a separate torque wrench at each machine. It is an extremely small investment and greatly increases the chances that the operator will use it each time they should.

Making Quality Saw Blades
Posted on Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 at 8:09 pm.
Making Quality Saw Blades
Saw blade, custom built and the best in the world
For the sake of argument let us define quality as total runout combined with tool life. Then a quality saw blade would be one that makes really good cuts for a long, long time.
Even if you accept this oversimplified definition it still gets hugely complicated.
Examples:
1. The quality of the cut depends on the quality of the machine you use to sharpen the blade. A top-quality sharpening system can run up to a million dollars. I saw blade that is sharpened with many passes, taking off a small amount of the material each time, generally performs better than the saw blade sharpened in a single pass. However it’s more time on your million-dollar machine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E09-VSzL4ys&feature=related
2. The quality of the saw tip starts with the mine where the tungsten and cobalt is extracted. Different mines have different amounts of trace metals in them. It is easier to get 99.9% plus pure metal out of some mines than others.
3. Tungsten carbide powder is pressed into saw tip shape using molds. Tungsten carbide powder is very abrasive so the molds wear out. As the molds wear out you run into problems with the tungsten carbide powder not packing properly. Thus you have to replace the molds on a regular basis. A single mold can cost a few thousand dollars. If you replace the molds on a regular basis it is a little more expensive than letting quality slip before you replace the molds.
4. Top-quality saw tips are no longer simple tungsten carbide grains cemented together with cobalt. They have additions such as titanium, nitrogen, vanadium, niobium and the binder may have additions such as chrome and nickel. Using these other metals adds to the cost several ways. There is additional cost for the metals. There is a great deal more additional time spent mixing. You also have to have a much more sophisticated sintering process to get the saw tips to shrink and harden properly.
5. Better quality tools should have better steel. You can use plain steel or you can add a little nickel and other metals to it which makes it tougher and longer wearing.
6. How well the saw plate holds up in use depends on how exactly it is hardened. If you want to hit a particular Rockwell point, say Rc 45, you need much better equipment than you would if you’re happy with somewhere between 43 and 47.
7. Saw plate needs to be tempered and ground to make up flat. Doing this once can make a pretty good saw plate. Doing it twice makes a much better saw plate.
The cleanliness of the coolant used to grind the saw blades is important. The grit of the diamond in the diamond wheels used to grind the saw blades is important. And it goes on and on and on.
Making a better tool is exactly like making a better piece of furniture. It takes excellent materials, really good equipment and a high level of skill and dedication.
Having said all that I have to say that The price of tools may or may not be related to the quality of the tools.

How We Sell High Quality Tools
Router bit with bad corner
Over the years we have found that even companies with the best reputation may not sell tools as good as they think they do.
Here are pictures of tools I looked at this week. The top picture is the corner of a router bit. It looks like it has been dubbed during grinding. Most router bits have square corners. A bevel, such as this, is going to degrade cut quality fairly significantly.
Saw blade brazing problems
angles. The lighter colored part on top is one angle and the darker part down below is the second angle. Most, but not all, tips on the saw had the same kind of grinding. However the grinds differed from tip to tip which is also wrong.
The last picture is a picture of the copper plug in the saw blade. This is just a really sloppy fit. The other side looked better but still was not perfect.
Not only do we check out a company before we carry its products but we also have an ongoing inspection program to make sure that the products we carry are always good.

We love selling woodpeckers because they make tools that are overbuilt and overengineered. Woodpeckers tools are solid, solid, solid.
Router lift from Woodpeckers
The precision router lifts are heavy so that they do not shake, shimmy or otherwise move in odd directions.
Because these router lifts are so solid, so well engineered and built you can very, very easily make adjustments as small as (0.002”) two thousandths of an inch.
Renée, our lovely and gracious e-commerce manager, has them on sale. She has selected the Porter Cable version but you could probably call her at 800-346-8274 and she would make a deal on another version if you asked nicely
Precision Router Lift – For Porter Cable – Woodpeckers PRL-V2-420 – PRL-V2 7518.
Standard Plate – 9-1/4 x 11-3/4 .
Manufactured entirely in the U.S.A by Woodpeckers.
This new router lift features the proven robust construction of the Precision Router Lift combined with the near instant elevation changes of the Quick Lift.
Another innovation is the micro-adjust thumb wheel. This improvement eliminates the need for a crank handle to make fine router bit height adjustments. When combined with the ability to make near instant coarse height adjustments, you’ll quickly discover just how easy table mounted routing can be.
With a newly designed spring-assist lift wrench, you can go from routing height to bit changing height in 2 seconds even when lifting the heaviest of routers.
Like Woodpeckers other router lifts, the PRL-V2 includes an adjustable reference scale.
Tool-less scale adjustments can be set to zero from any bit position then incremented to intervals as small as .002in. One complete revolution equals 1/16in. in height change.
Woodpeckers top-of-the-line Aluminum router mounting plates,
** eight easily accessible leveling screws
** adjustable side plungers
** solid brass starting pin
** three Twist Lock rings
Includes 3 TWIST LOCK molded rings, spanner wrench, starting pin, and router mounting hardware.
