Nothing But the Best

Wenge (Millettia laurentii) is arguably one of

the most expensive woods in world, but its

density, colour and figure also make it one

of the most sought after for fine work and

detailing. The FSC certified wenge shown

here is available, along with a range of other

species, from Allwood Specialty Timbers.

Diamond

Quality

Tormek has just released

three new diamond

wheels and a multi-

base for their water

cooled sharpening

system. Made from the

world’s hardest known

material, these diamond

wheels offer exceptional

durability. A further great

new development is

that blades can also be

sharpened on the sides

of the wheels to give flat

bevels as well. Coarse,

fine and extra fine grade

wheels will be available in

Australia from June 2018.

A round-up of tools and products to take notice of.

Woodwork Central

Since its release in Australia late last year, Kreg’s

mobile project centre has been snapped up by

those wanting an affordable but solid bench and

assembly surface. The table opens to 800 x 700mm

and supports up to 158kg. Set it up, pack it away

or take it with you for convenience, and look to a

range of inline and bench clamps for versatile holding

capabilities. Currently $299.
