Welcome to the Tool Review forum.
This part of the site is designed for you to give us your real world review of tools and equipment that you've used either in the past or presently.

Please give us your honest opinion in these reviews along with other helpful information or experiences that you've had. PICTURES ARE ALSO GREAT!
Finally, if relevant show us some pictures of work that you've done with the tool.

I look forward to reading these reviews and thanks for the time and effort you put into them.

About two years ago I got a Kreg Forman (electric not pneumatic) and think it's the best thing since Lamello invented the biscuit joiner. I've been using the hand held Kreg jigs for a while but found i was taking too much time to clamp on to each part. I also found i was using the pocket screws for more and more of my cabinet assembly, so the Forman made sense.
Even if you don't want to spend the money for the table top version I think pocket screws together with biscquits are a very efficient way to assemble cabinets. They save a lot of clamp time and are much stronger than screws into end grain or plywood edges.

Nathan, Although not new to wood working I have been doing more of it the last couple years and plan on doing A LOT more when I retire. Anyhow, I have recently purchased a "Work Sharp WS300" and just this weekend a new "JET 1014VSI" Lathe. Both after a lot of thought and research. If you think either of these would be of interest I could try to do a "Tool Review" on either or both!

Let me know your thoughts.

I have the Work Sharp 3000 and have never had better sharpened tools, chisels, lathe, and carving tools. When I sharpen a tool from under the segmented wheel I mark it with a black marker and this helps me know exactly where I start to remove material.
