If you have a woodworker on your holiday shopping list, take a look at these unique tools and products.
Skil XshopMost woodworkers agree that lack of space is a real issue in the workshop. Here's a gift idea that solves that problem! The Skil XShop is the Swiss Army Knife of table saws in that it utilizes many other tools in shop. It's a standard table saw used for ripping lumber and plywood and making crosscuts as well. It has a digital rip fence which assists in making cuts accurate within 1/32". In addition to being a table saw, the Xshop has "drop-in" plates that allow woodworkers to convert the tool into a router table, sanding table, and by using a jigsaw, a scrolling table. You can also add an optional drill press tower to turn an ordinary 1/2" drill into a functioning drill press. The plates are stored with the tools in the cabinet of the unit and are easy to change in and out. All of these functions can be done in a small 24" x 40" space. It includes a 10" table saw, digital rip fence, router table, feather board, sanding table, scroll table and storage cabinet. Robert Bosch Tool Corp.

Bosch Gravity-Rise Table Saw StandMost table saws come with a stand of some kind, but they can be bulky and difficult to use. This gift idea solves that problem. The gravity-rise stand uses the combined weight and balance of the saw and stand to make moving the saw and setup almost effortless. The gravity-rise stand doesn't use any clips or pins--only one lever to operate the stand. The same lever unfolds the saw, and you never have to take the saw off the stand to move it around. Bosch
