The most competitive online shop for Arbortech Carving and Woodworking Tools. Many regular Chronos customers have model engineering projects take years to complete; woodcarving using Arbortech power tools could be a rewarding diversion with the power carving tools taking just hours to create beautiful pieces.

You can buy the Arbortech Power Chisel which has a high power 750W electric motor for easy timber removal in the hardest woods. The Arbortech PRO-4 Kit includes the Arbortech blade and Pro-Guard and fits onto most 100mm or 115mm angle grinders and removes large amounts of wood quickly and effectively when carving or sculpting. The Arbortech Mini Carver is smaller version of the famous Arbortech Pro blade is much appreciated by professional carvers. You can also see some carving projects using the Arbortech range.

The Arbortech Woodworking range of products was first developed in 1988 for woodworkers to sculpt and shape wood in any direction. The first product developed called the “Woodcarver” blade, fitted to a small 4″ or 100mm angle grinder caused a major breakthrough for woodworkers by giving an increase in productivity without the limiting restraints of only working with square edges. This creative aspect of working with Arbortech wood shaping tools has allowed a new dimension in woodworking to flourish.

The British Woodcarvers Association has some great information including how to get started with simple carving projects. Chronos will start to feature and list woodcarving clubs and would welcome any suggestions. We would also like to post project plans to share in our forthcoming woodworking and woodcarving forum.

Folding the chair is as simple as lifting the seat back upward out of two pockets and closing the chair flat. Because fully threaded bolts at the pivot points would cause premature wear in the wood, Veritas offer a stainless steel hardware pack consisting of six custom-made bolts with matching locking nuts and flat washers.

The bolts are manufactured with the ideal combination of head style, material and thread length for use with this plan.

Not including molding or combination planes, there are four basic plane blade profiles: straight, round, crowned, and rounded corners. Which to use depends on the type of plane used and the planing task at hand.

Straight for jointer, rabbet or shoulder planes. Without a straight cutting edge when using a jointer or shoulder plane, it is almost impossible to get a satisfactory glue line. While some distortion may sometimes be acceptable in a rabbet, the main objective is to achieve two perpendicular surfaces with a sharp intersection. A straight edge is one of the easiest profiles for blade manufacturers to produce, but it’s a challenge for woodworkers to maintain without an investment in dedicated equipment. Nonetheless, a bit of practice, freshly trued stones and a good honing guide will usually produce a satisfactory edge.

Round this blade profile is desired when planing rough-sawn lumber by hand. Scrub planes are made specifically for this job, equipped as they are with a generously rounded blade profile. It is also quite practical to grind the required profile on a jack plane blade. A spare blade will typically cost much less than a dedicated plane.

Crowned mostly for smooth planes, this profile may also be useful in a jack or fore plane when flattening a panel that is wider than the blade. The goal is to conceal overlapping strokes on a wide surface by having the middle portion of the blade project from the sole while the corners are safely out of the way. The resultant surface will have a series of broad, shallow, parallel flutes, but the panel will appear to be flat to all but the most careful observer. The degree of crown will depend on the width of the blade. While a similar depth of the curve will be desired, the same radius is not suitable for both a #4-1/2 heavy smoother (with a 2-3/8 wide blade) and a #3 small smoother (with a 1-3/4 wide blade). Ideally, the height of the crown will be slightly more than the intended shaving thickness (e.g., for fine smoothing this may be as little as 0.0015). This profile is usually the easiest for a woodworker to produce since most stones (especially water stones) that have not been freshly trued will naturally produce a crowned blade. When working on a hard, flat, oil stone, the crown can still be achieved by alternately applying more pressure on the corners.

Rounded Corners According to many authorities on the subject, this is the best all-purpose profile for smoothing and jack planes because it ensures the maximum width of cut, allows overlapping strokes on a wide surface, and can still be used to dress the edge of a board for lamination. It is, however, a bit of a challenge to do well. All the requirements to sharpen a straight edge must be met, plus a smoothly rounded transition needs to be ground and honed on each corner or the edges of the blade will leave lines in the workpiece. There are no jigs sold for this process, so a bit of practice freehand grinding and honing is needed to get the profile just right.
