Double-Cut:
the world's best timber auger.

Double-cut features both the cleanest drillhole and two tough-wearing edges.

One of our customers drilled 6000 holes with two 1-1/16" 18" bits, before replacing them! Available in 12" 18" and 24" lengths, also various extensions up to 24" in length are available.

"I just received my order from you for two (Doublecut) auger bits, a ¾" x 12" and a 1¼" x 12". The delivery was exceptionally fast which I appreciate very much. I have just drilled holes with them and can not believe how wonderful they work. Easy and fast as well as perfect smooth holes in the hardwood. These are the best that I have ever used. Thank you for the fast service and the excellent product. I will recommend you to all of my associates and friends."

ZOBO System 3 drill bits

Much more than a glorified Forstner-style bit.

INTRODUCING:

LignaTool.

This template system makes cutting dovetail mortises and tenons with a router quick and easy, as if you had a CNC machine, but much cheaper.

We are extremely impressed with the intelligent design, quality and safety features of this system.

Even if you paid more, you wouldn't get a better mortiser!

SwissPRO KSP-16 Chain Mortiser

Now available in 110V!

And its smaller cousin, the Swiss KSL-161 chain mortiser.
