Pattern or template routing is something I use on almost every project in my shop. Whether I'm making corbels or simply rounding corners, there's no better way to ensure perfectly identical parts every time. A new style of router bit from Woodpeckers makes these tasks easier and better-than ever.

Ridgid HD1900 NXT Vac
Heavy-duty shop cleanup is where a shop vacuum really earns its keep. For me, a good vac needs three things: a powerful motor, a drum large enough that I’m not emptying it constantly, and a design that rolls easily around the shop. Ridgid’s HD1900 NXT checks all three boxes.

Engrave Fill PRO Al Pattern Generation
It's not often that we feature software in our New Tools section—and even less often that a piece of software excites me. A few months ago, though, I came across a social media post asking whether anyone would be interested in an AI-powered tool that could generate decorative patterns and fills for laser engraving. That idea caught my attention, and I followed along as the project evolved into what is now Engrave Fill Pro.

JET JDP-20S Smart Drill Press
At first glance, a drill press seems like one of the simplest tools in the shop: a motor turns a spindle, the spindle turns a bit, and a hole appears. In practice, though, drilling clean, accurate holes across different materials and bit types is far more nuanced. Feed rate, spindle speed, depth control, and material choice all play a role in getting clean, accurate holes.
