Woodwork wizard Pro-Tech has just unpacked its all-new range of special sawing, woodwork shop and site-ready accessories, which are now available throughout Southern Africa. Famous for its router bits, cutters, saw blades and vast range of tools for 35 years, these practical new products add an exciting new edge to Pro-Tech's famous existing pro and DIY solutions.

Starting on the sawing table, Pro-Tech’s two feather board options include a two-piece lengthened set comprising a pair of square design boards, four plastic clamp bars and screw handle knobs, and all the screws and washers required for assembly. With a 145 mm adjustment slot range and 142 mm Groove pitch centre, the Pro-Tech lengthened feather board set is compatible with standard ¾-inch slots and T-tracks. 

The two-piece multipurpose triangle design feather board set likewise comes with all its necessary accessories. It has a 120 mm adjustment slot range, a 60 to 140 mm groove pitch centre and is also compatible with standard slots and T-tracks. Feather boards are safety devices used when working with stationary routers or power saws. They apply pressure against a workpiece, keeping it flat against the machine table or fence.

The Pro-Tech circle cutter router attachment is another handy accessory that comes with all the fittings to flawlessly cut a variety of diameters, without tricky math equations to work it out. Easy to set up, the universal base comes with an adjusting knob, a 6 mm HSS wood drill bit, centring ring, adjustable aluminium slider, and its screws, pins, stop, and rod. The Pro-Tech 130 mm base diameter circle cutter fits most small to medium routers to cut 30 to 670 mm diameters in a 10 to 100 mm milling range. 

The Pro-Tech non-slip adjustable push block reduces kickback to protect the user. Easy to clean and adjust for cut width via its centre leg, a non-slip surface material provides gripping power to hold the wood firm against the fence as it controls and feeds both sides of the stock for a cleaner cut. Supplied with a 4 mm Hex wrench, guide support, push tab and thumb screws for easy assembly, the Pro-Tech non-slip adjustable push block is an absolute woodworking and DIY must.

Three new custom Pro-Tech gauge sets are made to set and measure. Precision engineered and corrosion resistant, the tenon ruler height step gauge has a millimetre and inch card. The two-piece machined right angle square set has a radius angle gauge, 90-degree flat edge and corner relief for square alignment. And Pro-Tech’s compact three piece Bakelite R10 and R15, R20 and R25, and R30 and R35 radius angles have different radii on opposite corners for universal fitment to cut precise outside corners.

Moving away from the sawing table, Pro-Tech’s range of woodworking accessories bring splendid solutions to both the shop and work site. Its left and right feed direction drawer slide installation jigs are for instance handy tools to ensure precise alignment to support the slide while drilling and locating the drawer box for mounting.

Last but not least, the four-piece Pro-Tech glue set comprises two 12 and 28 mm, brushes with thin applicator blade ends, an applicator, and a handy glue tray. The two brushes are also available in a separate two-piece set. Learn more about Pro-Tech’s broad traditional range, and these fine tools at www.vermontsales.co.za/brand-pro-tech
