What are you guys using for Soft Jaws on this? For small boxes some of these jaws really eat into the wood.

Hello from Greece my friend....I put thin kautsuc pieces from bicycle wheels inside the chuck so I don't make any damage in my wood.....

I have used different kinds of tape like painters tape, duct tape etc and they work ok, but you might lose grip control. It would better, as I learned, to leave that extra area to be parted off, then you can choose your length too and not worry about marks.

I have not used the Jawhorse for cutting wood...but I am sure smaller branches could be just pinched shut.., but be careful cutting around the metal legs..big sparks I would think

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.

We use flaked wood shavings for our guinea pig. Because of the depth of the bottom, we can fill it halfway and not have him kick it everywhere. But he is much smaller than a rabbit.

Not really, my use is limited to small jobs on soft wood . It is not for heavy use .

I don't know what to recommend. They have a 1/2 inch plastic head with a shaft that is fairly short. The two shafts fit together to clamp the cardboard. They can be taken apart and reused but would be hard for a smaller child to do. I guess pass the age of putting things in their mouth and being able to understand, "do not eat these"! This is a great product for craft construction.

My teeth are tight at the top; when I use regular floss, I break it frequently. The Glide ribbon floss breaks also although less often. My dental hygienist has the same trouble. My dentist pointed me to the Gum Soft Picks and they're much better. The gap between most teeth widens toward the gum and that's where the payload of food particles and plaque accrue most. I still use Glide floss once a week on instruction from my dental hygienist but the Soft Picks are my go-to option. I had also tried the brushpicks when the Gum Soft Picks were out of stock at my source store. I wasn't satisfied by the brushpick's effectiveness for really clearing the gaps--which is also a misgiving about floss.

Your question is tougher than it appears. First, the hardened wood may pose an issue and I personally am not very impressed with this so-called "heavy duty" stapler. I would go to one of the big box stores and try out the different models and see if they make specific staples for old and hardened wood. If I had it to do over, that is what I would do myself. Good luck with your project.

Normally I would use a 2/0 Gamakatsu bait holder hook and go through the nose and out the back. You can also just nose hook it for maximum action but higher chance it can rip off during a strike and fight.

i try to put in the bottom front of tray then suck the tray as close to my teeth. you my have to cut a small "V" in the middle of the front tray or any place it gets on your gums. i just use the top tray, it works great

Thank you. Mine's a "drop in". I'm concerned about how things clamp to the "metal". Are the jaws metal or hard/soft plastic/rubber?

There is a problem with the small bottle that came with the saw for the oil. It is very stiff plastic, so squeezing it to get a drop of oil or so was hard. I had my 20-year-old son squeeze it (he was helping me with the wood anyway) and told him when I saw a drop at the end for him to put in the port. Then I bought a small, squeezable bottle for the next cutting session. Too much oil is not really a problem, but too little could ruin the saw, so I chose to be cautious.

Not great for really hard wood. I have an electric chain saw but it wouldn't fit in the space where I wanted to cut the particular shrub -- this fits in the space OK -- cutting not really powerful enough for the really hard wood. Don't think this is your answer.

Need to go slow on 3/4" material. Gets bound up pretty easy on thicker, harder wood. No problem at all on MDF or anything 1/4".

The lower jaw moves.Its designed like all hand held smaller anvil type pruners.The lower jaw operates by pulling on a sliding nylon cord threaded through length of pole.Word of caution: after a season of hard use I found out its necessary to spray the jaw with WD40 and wipe down the blades with rubbing alcohol after use.Otherwise the pull cord jams if the blades stick together.They now carry this item at Target.

I used it for some crown molding, but I opted to then pick up a blade with more teeth from the Home Depot. The blade it comes with will work, but recommend something with finer teeth. The blade it has is great for ripping through 2x4's, but you stand a chance of a splintered cut on crown molding.

I did a little experimenting and the smallest block of wood I could get in it and all the "jaws" clamping it correctly was 2 inch by 4 inch. Of course, you could always use spacers. As far as thickness, I've clamped 1/4 inch thick stuff before, but you can only use slight pressure or the wood will bend.
