  1. I personally do not feel that a fifty dollar minimum is a major hurdle when it comes to free shipping, especially when there is an across the board discount available. The only realistic method to lowering or deleting the minimum would be to raise prices on all items that would normally be priced below it in order to compensate for shipping costs. In the real world, volume purchasers get the best pricing and single item buyers pay the going rate. Single small item sales do not garner major profit margins, and sometimes do not cover the cost of labor to pack them up for transport. It is always the hope that those sales will generate larger orders in the future. I would rather gain an additional discount for over $300 (as an example) orders than receive free shipping on an order that is less than fifty.
  2. SharkBite deburr & gauge tool?
  3. So, not a yellow fruit... Got it.
  4. Makita XPH102 single battery kit for $99. http://www.cpooutlets.com/makita-xph102-18v-lxt-3-0-ah-cordless-lithium-ion-1-2-in--hammer-driver-drill-kit/mktnxph102,default,pd.html There are several other deals on the 99 dollar sale page as well... some good and some not so. http://www.cpooutlets.com/multi-99-sale-2017/multi-99-sale-2017,default,sc.html
  5. Had to do a bit of research to come up with this guess... 1/2 & 3/4 Fostapex prep tool.
  6. Still doing it. Only this time it lets me create the thread and then it auto links to the main page, even though I saved an unformatted picture in it. It won't even let me post a simple link to the Makita announcement in the Makita sub-forum... Three more posts that need deletion... You could create the thread about the Makita Facebook Live announcement and post it on the main page...
  7. Correct. It is used in the process of sharpening a scraper. Specifically it is used to debur and square the edge prior to polishing the edge. Your turn....
  8. This tool is in one of those better idea classes that always seem to end up being somewhat mediocre at their intended purpose. Any woodworker who starts making furniture using the old methods would have found a simpler way, with existing tools, to do the job that this item does. The process of maintaining some hand tools require multi-step processes, and the tool that this one is used on is king in that department and requires some skill mastery in it's own right. It's not the easy button of tools, but when looking for the absolute best finish results, it kicks the shit out of using sandpaper. All the hints rolled into one...
  9. It's an old tool, think of old methods...
  10. top of the page: tool used on another tool...
  11. Generally,in woodworking, much is left to intuition and experience. Learning the trade is not as straight forward as it used to be when there were structured apprenticeship programs, or public school shop classes. Properly designed push blocks go a long way to saving extremities when using shop tools, but if you wish to take hands out of the equation, you need to add feed mechanisms. A stock feeder added to a table saw is one example, but they are not cheap and work best on single use tool designs.
  12. It's not used on paint...
  13. Yes, it is hinged, but that doesn't necessarily affect it's primary function... And it's primary function is only part of the process...
  14. I can't afford to start following hand tool auctions... I would end up in debt.
  15. Well, I'm down for a new dead-blow hammer. Mine are all shot, and at that price, it will be worth the wait.
  16. I made a third post with the information in it, if that one could be renamed and the other two deleted, that would solve the current problem of someone clicking on the links and being redirected. The issue is that I was unable to complete the post. As soon as I hit the keep formatting button, the tread posted as a redirecting link. I could also delete the third post and start a new one with the correct title, but until the other two get removed, that might be somewhat confusing.
  17. In the process of starting a new topic in the Makita tool section, I attempted to add in a formatted picture from Makita that I had received in an email. This caused the thread to instantly post as a link to the main page with no option for me to either access the post or delete it in any manner... Rather odd behavior there. Oh yeah, could you please delete those two posts in that section...

    Compact Kapex KS 60

    @KnarlyCarl I don't even... know how to react to that...
  19. It "is" a tool that is used on another tool. Another picture for size comparison...
  20. Nope, sorry. This is another one of those tools that was designed for a single use. Probably why it did not stay in their catalog for very long.
  21. Alrighty then... Here we have a tool made for Woodcraft Supply, back before the days of the Internetz... This is more of a What is it used for?... as it would take me much too long to dig the receipt out of the tax files to find what they actually called it twenty five years ago.
  22. I do, but I had a different name for it, and I cheated to find it's real name... Which took me down that rabbit hole for many hours and I ended up surfing through Norris planes currently for sale... @comp56 Since no one else took a shot at it today... The name I had for your tool was "spoke tenoner", but that, as it turns out is just one of it's many possible uses. The name I found for it after searching for what I thought it was, is Hollow Auger, which is what I might have associated more with the well drilling industry.
  23. Do you have the other tool that it is normally paired with?
  24. The original cordless tech... Is that circa 1910, or earlier?
