Kreg Precision Bandsaw Fence

Tool Review: Kreg Precision Bandsaw Fence

The Kreg Precision Bandsaw Fence is built for precision, flexibility and ease of use.

I now have a fence on my bandsaw that is as accurate as the one on my table saw. I can set it and cut, knowing I'm getting an accurate cut.

Meet Andrea Cortés

This month Andrea interviews Andrea Cortés, a woman she recently met when taking a week-long woodworking course at The College of the Redwoods Fine Furniture program. In her native country of Colombia, manual labor is "unthinkable for a woman as a career", but she proved that wrong when she discovered her love and talent for woodworking.
