Precision Guides
In 2018 Vesper Tools is celebrating 20
years of fine toolmaking, and also now
offering bandsaw guides made with the
same dedication to precision that have
built its reputation. The guides are made
in-house with case hardened thrust
wheels and guide blocks to the proven
Wolfenden design. Complete guide
assemblies or separate components can
be fitted to most Wolfenden machines
and with some mods retrofitted to
Wadkin, Barker, Tannerwitz and other
brands. More information from

PRODUCT NEWSClever Combination
Just in time for Hammer’s 20
year anniversary, the popular C3 41
is back. Now in three configurations,
these offer 410mm planing width and 900mm rip capacity
on the saw table. With solid cast iron tables, quick and easy
changeover along with multi-functionality, this could be the
spacesaving answer you’ve been looking for.

Interwood’s large 360 x 310mm
Cabinetmakers Square is
designed to let you check your
glue-ups and machine setups
are truly 90°. A hefty 6mm
thick and made from CNC cut
aluminium the square sells for
$195. The wood cheeks, which
can be adjusted, let the tool
work as a try square as well.

Japanese made Iwasaki files are different.
Their teeth are milled, not stamped, and
they are chemically sharpened to act like
an army of curved blades that shave rather
than abrade wood surfaces. Flat, convex
and concave files (around $40 each) can
achieve a smooth finish and there’s also a
crank necked chisel for flattening trenches.
