A woodworking bridge has two base walls or components that enable the bridge to span an abutment or joint between two work pieces. A top surface enables a clamp to engage the bridge to permit the clamp to apply a clamping force to a first work piece and a second work piece on both sides of the joint and prevent the clamp from contacting the joint. This allows any adhesive that oozes from the joint to be cleaned without curing in the top surface and/or the bottom surface of the two work pieces. The work pieces may then be stained without any cured adhesive in the pores of the work pieces where stain is applied.

Tapered, stepped, or non-tapered router guide templates, and optionally combined template holder system, each template comprising: a base portion, a top portion, at least one of an exterior surface interconnecting the base portion and the top portion along an outer periphery of the template and an interior surface interconnecting the base portion and the top portion along an inner periphery of the template, wherein optionally one of the exterior surface and the interior surface may be continuously tapered between the base portion and the top portion, or stepped, and wherein the base portion is adapted for removable and adjustable interconnection with the template holder system.

A device for manipulating a board is provided, the device comprising: a body having an upper side and a lower side; the body having a proximal end comprising an angled face, wherein the angled face is formed on the upper side, and wherein the angled face includes an aperture extending into the angled face and through the body; the body having a distal end including a U-shaped board engagement member including a pair of legs; and the body having at least one joist alignment member extending downwardly from the lower side.

A router sled for woodworking. The router sled includes a router, a housing for holding the router, the router being slidably mounted to a rail. The rail being defined on a platform. The housing is slidably mounted to the rail. The housing slides with the router along the rail.

The invention relates to a device (22) for calibrating an underfloor wheelset lathe (3) without a calibration wheelset, comprising; a motor (23) with a rotational axis (D), a friction roller (24), and a measuring bridge (18), wherein the friction roller (24) is connected p a driveshaft of the motor (23). The aim of the invention is to allow a simpler calibration without a calibration wheelset. This is achieved in that the friction roller (24) has an approximately cylindrical frictional surface with a defined nominal diameter. The invention additionally relates to an underfloor wheelset lathe (3) comprising such a device (22) and to a method for calibrating an underfloor wheelset lathe (3).

A saw mount for removably securing a saw to an object for cutting of the object includes: a base shaped to fit against a surface of the object; an arm extending from the base from a first end proximate to the base to a second end that is distal from the base; and a saw bracket pivotally mounted towards the distal end of the arm. The saw is removably secured to the saw bracket towards the distal end of the arm such that the saw pivots with respect to the base of the saw mount for cutting of the object by the saw.
