Some woodworking machines are only meant for production work. This is because it takes a long time to set them up for just one cut. However, if you plan on making the same cut or joint over and over again, a production machine is the way to go. The advantage of locating a production apparatus is repeatable accuracy with speed. Time is money and quality is everything.
In this article, we will highlight the JDS Multi-Router, a pricey but fairly compact stationary woodworking mechanism that can make a selection of joints including mortise and tenon, angled mortise and tenon, box joints and dovetail joints. The Multi-Router utilizes a router and various router bits to make highly complex cuts in wood. The joints are made by a ball-bearing-tipped stylus tracking in aluminum templates that are easily mounted to Multi-Router. The work piece is attached on an aluminum table which can move in and out, left and right and up and down, and which is controlled by 3 hand levers, one for each axis.
Movement along any axis can be defined with clamping screws and collars incorporated into the Multi-Router. A particular cut may require that the machine be allowed to float unobstructed in two directions while being constrained from any movement along the remaining axis.
As an example of how the Multi-Router operates, I will discuss how I have made production runs of dovetailed jewelry boxes. The motivation to use a production machine is easy to see: If you can do precise, elaborate work in a tiny period of time, you can churn out high-quality items in large numbers and thus make more sales and therefore more assets. You can also demand more cash for fine details like dovetailed corners.
Before getting started with my jewelry boxes, I had to decide what sizes would work best, taking into consideration that I would be locating a mechanism to make equally-spaced dovetails of the same dimensions. I found that I could make two dovetails in the corners of a jewelry box that measured 2 1/4" high. Three dovetails would have required increasing the height of the finished box and I determined that that height would not be as pleasing to the eye.
The next step involved stock preparation. The finished stock had to be of uniform thickness and width to work on the Multi-Router. The final thickness was to be 3/8” for the jewelry box sides and top. The jewelry box bottom was to be 1/8” plywood, covered by a velvet pad. The plywood bottom fitted into a 1/8” saw kerf, cut 1/4” above the bottom of the inside wall of the jewelry box.
For economy, I chose to resaw three thicknesses each out of each piece of 2” (8/4) lumber. Before resawing, I cut the 2" lumber into pieces a bit wider than the final dimension of 2 1/4" (about 2 1/2"). I set the resaw to cut three equal pieces out of each piece of raw lumber. I then used my SuperMax Drum Sander to thickness dimension these thicknesses down to 3/8” thick @ 220 grit. These pieces there then ripped to final width (both edges) on the table saw. The final lengths of 12” (jewelry box fronts and backs) and 7” (sides) were then cut on the miter saw using a Forrest ChopMaster blade that leaves a mirror-like cut.
On this device, one template is used to cut the tails with a dovetail cutter and the other template is used to cut the pins with a straight spiral cutter. Setup takes a bit of time and wastes some timber so it is advisable to have some cheap pieces available of the same sizes and thickness as the final wood species. Table adjustments have to be made on the in/out axis to get the right depth of cut which is then locked in position. A detailed manual is incorporated with the Multi-Router, so I won’t bother to repeat that here. I’ll just say that the work piece is attached into a fixed position on the table and the left/right and up/down axes are left to float unimpeded while the stylus tracks each template. Trial and error will in time give you a flawless fit in your scrap pieces and, once that has been accomplished, you can commence production on the final work pieces. Tails can be cut on both ends of the jewelry box sides and pins on both ends of the front and back pieces or vice versa, if you prefer.
Now, it’s back to the table saw to cut the grooves for the plywood floor. You must terminate your cuts just short of going through the ends of the work pieces. Mark pencil lines on the table saw table to demonstrate to you where to start and where to terminate. The idea is to lower the work piece into the saw blade which is set to 1/8 ‘ above the table. When the work piece hits the table, it should be just a bit ahead of the front stop line. Pull the work piece back to the stop line before pushing it forward to the rear stop line. Stop the saw before lifting each work piece off the blade for reasons of safety.
The finished, dovetailed jewelry box pieces are pushed together with a bit of Titebond glue while inserting the plywood bottom into 1/8” pre-cut groove. Clamp the box square for 45 minutes.
Box tops can be made oversize, sanded to 3/8” @ 220 grit and then ripped to fit the jewelry boxes. The tops can be either overlay with hinges or inset with brass pins drilled into the back corners. Once you have determined the final sizes of the top, you should be able to safely fit all of the boxes due to the accuracy of your Multi-Router-made boxes. I like to rout all corners of the box and top with a 1/8” round-over bit before sanding.
The jewelry boxes and tops should be sanded to at least 220 grit with a random orbital sander and by hand before finishing. I chose to spray on a gloss finish (catalyzed varnish). You may prefer something else. If you are going to spray, I’d like to propose that you make yourself a lazy Susan (hardware parts available from Woodworker’s Supply).
Take several pieces of 1/8” ply the same size as the box bottoms, drill a hole in each corner and insert bright flat head box nails into the holes. The holes should be drilled the same size or smaller than the shafts of the nails to keep the nails from sliding back out of the plywood. Place the ply, nail points up, on the lazy Susan and place the box on top of the nail points. Once a box is sprayed, you can pick it up by the plywood and set it aside to dry. When spraying tops, the sharp nail points will not leave visible marks in the finish.
The final touch is the velvet lining. You will need poster board, 3M spray-on adhesive, 1/8” foam padding and velvet. The velvet can be found at any dry goods store and the other items at an arts and crafts store like Ben Franklin or Michael’s. Cut the velvet to extend 1” in all directions past the pre-cut poster board. Cut out 1” x 1” squares from each corner of the velvet (you may have to adjust this to accommodate the foam padding.) Spray glue the padding onto the poster board. The padding should be cut a bit undersize with reference to the poster board. Wrap the velvet over the padding and glue the flaps onto the back of the poster board. The poster board should be pre-cut to exactly fit the box with the velvet wrapped around the edges. This may take some experimentation but the final dimension can be repeated over and over again.
You can also find velvet, compartmentalized jewelry box insert trays online. These usually come only in standard sizes so if you are interested in using these instead of the simple wrapped bottom padding described above, you will have to design your boxes around the dimensions of the velvet trays that you will be using.
In closing, I assume that you can now see that in such a production run, there is a huge amount of set-up time which should be more than off-set by the efficiency of repeatable accuracy. On the other hand, I could cut the dovetails for one box by hand but they would not look as tight and smooth as those cut by the Multi-Router. In short, if you are thinking about purchasing a new or used Multi-Router, plan on making a lot of jewelry boxes (or whatever) in each production run.glove making machine--https://www.hosiery-machine.com



Socks do not always receive the attention they deserve when putting together an outfit. For most men, socks are considered unimportant as they are less visible than other garments. Whilst this is true, an ill conceived pair of socks can ruin an otherwise well thought out outfit. In addition, socks can offer a great opportunity to subtly add pattern and colour. Socks need to be considered not only in visual terms, but also with respect to comfort and quality. In this article I will compare the leading designer sock brands for men on the basis of choice, quality, comfort, innovation and fashion. The brands I will be looking at are; Falke, Pantherella, Burlington, Calvin Klein, Emporio Armani, Paul Smith, Duchamp-London and Ted Baker.

An important distinction needs to be made between these brands i.e. whether they are sock specialists (Falke, Pantherella etc.) or fashion brands that manufacture a range of socks (Ted Baker, Paul Smith, Armani etc). There are several differences, apart from the fact that sock specialists offer a larger range. Most fashion brands manufacture men’s socks in only one size, known as ‘one size fits all’. On the other hand, sock specialists usually offer 3 different sizes; 5.5-8, 8.5-11, 11.5-14. Whilst it is more comfortable to wear a sock designed to fit your foot size, the fashion brands offer the chance to buy into a big brand name. In fact, sock specialist never put their logo on the outside of the sock, whilst designer brands usually do (such as the Armani eagle or Calvin Klein ‘CK’).

Pantherella and Falke have a vast range of men’s socks, covering all aspects of functionality from business to casual to sports. Within each category they offer plain fabrics in many colours, as well as fashion patterns such as stripes and argyle. In plain coloured socks, they also offer variations in fabric such as plain cotton, ribbed cotton, wool and cashmere. Calvin Klein and Emporio Armani also offer quite a diverse range, from plain cottons to stripes. The other brands have a more niche range, offering high fashion socks that adhere closely to the brand’s design principles (e.g. Paul Smith’s renowned stripe).

In terms of quality all the designer brands use high quality fabrics in their men’s socks, blended for durability. Falke go that extra mile in manufacturing hard wearing socks, and have developed a reputation throughout Europe. All socks are manufactured in Germany, and have a reinforced heel and toe (and in some cases additional stress zones). They are also the experts in using new technology such as using silver ions for freshness, anti-bacterial cotton and climate regulating fabrics. Falke have recently developed an ergonomic comfort system which has a patented ergonomically shaped sole area for an optimum fit. A combination of natural and functional fibres provides a breathable climate, and an innovative cushioning applied to the inside of the sole adds extra comfort.

When it comes to fashion socks that are about exciting colour and pattern, the fashion brands come into their own. Whilst Falke manufactures fashion stripes and argyles, it is only a small percentage of their overall range. Having said that, they offer some bold and exciting colours in their plain men’s socks, such as; magenta, blueberry, lime green, wine and ‘Swedish Blue’. Pantherella focus more on fashion, and are responsible for the collection of Richard James socks. Duchamp-London, a premium men’s accessories brand, produce the most striking men’s socks in both pattern and colour. They are particularly well known for their Harlequin pattern (also used in their cufflinks), which is made up of bold stripes that are divided into chequered squares. Ted Baker is famous for its quirky sense of humour, which shows through in their men’s socks via playful patterns that experiment with the conventional stripe and spot. Emporio Armani is a truly refined brand and focuses mainly on muted colours and subtle patterns, all decorated with the highly distinctive eagle logo in a contrasting colour. For an argyle sock, Burlington is the most well known and respected. Now owned and manufactured by Falke, they are high quality socks offering huge choice in vibrant colour combinations.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a technical, well fitting sock then sock specialist brands such as Falke offer the best solution. On the other hand, many fashion houses such as Paul Smith provide socks that will add bold and dynamic colour to your casual and formal wear.glove making machine--https://www.hosiery-machine.com

The James Burns PB31SP Manual 3:1 Pitch Wire Binding Machine provides individuals and smaller organizations with an all encompassing, feature laden binding system solution, creating books in the elegant 3:1 Wire-O binding style. We investigated this machine recently and compiled for you a list of what we considered to be a few of its strengths and weaknesses. Strengths: The PB31SP can punch and bind in the standard 3:1 style, or you can utilize the fully selectable pin levers to create any custom pattern of your choosing. A lot of small businesses and self publishers use features like these to create their own individual look, which can lend some creativity to the process and really help with branding. The Wire-O style in general is one of the more elegant looks that a small publisher can create, and the ability to individualize the books you create is a big plus when you are looking to make a name for yourself.Another thing we really liked about the PB31SP is the punch handle. It seems that on almost all the other similar machines out there, the handles are located on the right side, meaning that not only do left handed individuals have a more difficult time using the machine, but that on larger jobs even right handed folks can get a little tired. The PB31SP, however, features a D shaped punch handle that can be used with either hand, or by both if fatigue starts to set in.

It’s just a small touch that makes this PB31SP a great choice for your small organization.The binding system has just sock making machine Manufacturers about all of the small amenities you need to make the process as quick and easy as possible. First of all the wire hanging device is conveniently located on the front of the machine to hold your book securely in place while you are putting the pages together and while inserting the wire. There is also a handy Wire-O size guide, closing adjuster and closing guide, all of which combine to make this one of the best Wire-O systems you can find at such a low price point.The PB31SP can close all of the wire sizes, including the larger ones from 5/8" to 1 1/4" with ease, which makes it fairly unique among Wire-O systems at this price point. With its 38 fully selectable pins, you can also create documents up to 13" in length without any problems.

Weaknesses: Though the PB31SP is a great choice for relatively low-volume use, and is plenty feature rich, it is after all, still a manual punch and will likely not be the best choice for larger businesses and organizations that need to create high volumes of books on a regular basis. If that describes you or your organization, you might want to consider an electric system. They do cost a fair amount more, but the time you will save will be significant.The punch capacity of the PB31SP is not terribly high, at 10 pages per lift. Again, for smaller projects this should be plenty, but on a thicker book or one with a larger run, this might prove to be just a little tedious.Although this system has a closer that handle larger sized wires, it is a 3:1 pitch system and as such is designed for use with smaller documents. Three to one pitch wires are only available in thicknesses up to 9/16". Larger sized wires are available in 2:1 pitch. However, they are not compatible with the punching pattern produced by this machine.
