Product Information

The saw bench insert should be in good condition, as there is a tendency for the thin end of the wedge to drop and jam at the front edge of the blade.

Used for splitting mating surfaces, flanges and wedging split fasteners, fox wedges are ideal for packing machinery and structures before fixing.

In this picture you can see the different levels of polishing, on the right is a wedge that has been cut on the bandsaw, then a wedge that has been cleaned up using a flap disc in the grinder, then each wedge has been polished with a finer grade of polishing disc (the last two on the left have also been polished using polishing compound).

George, my then mentoring craftsman in my apprenticing days, cut the two saw kerfs and said, “ Watch this! I decided on it for a specific reason I will reveal in the video we film in the first week of the new year. Rather than the danger of pounding your joint and the tenon shoulders not closing, which would be a glue up night mare. You are reminded of the following legal requirements relating to the purchase and use of professional pesticides.

In my YouTube video showing my use of this tenon type, the wedges at their widest point totaled a full 1/2″ (12. This is the foxed (fox wedged) mortise and tenon `I made a short but informative video for on YouTube and posted a few days ago. You should not only fill the space by creating a wedge commensurate to the space you created but any additional space for compression in the ‘ spring‘ from the wedges themselves, which will compress under driving pressure and then too the same spring in the tenon too. When such wedges are needed they are needed badly; proper wedges like yours are the way to go but these days I try to get by using my selection of cold chisels; we used to make our wedges at the blacksmiths forge in the pit.

You must notify us as soon as possible and ideally within 24 hours if at all possible, if your goods are subsequently found to be damaged. First, chop the mortise to the exact width of the tenon with no allowances to the wide width of the tenon.

In additional to your legal rights relating to faulty or misdescribed goods, all products come with manufacturer's warranty of between 1 and 5 years. The square end seats better against the bottom of the mortise and the wedge or inclined side needs to fate the outer edges as these are the sides that will bend out to the voids.That said, I have noticed a tendency for single, centred wedges to show traces of a split into the visible wood outside the tenon. A wedge for expanding the split end of a bolt, cotter, dowel, tenon, or other piece, to fasten the end in a hole or mortise and prevent withdrawal.

A few pairs of wedges were always about on a joiner's bench for applying pressure here and there when clamps were't available or convenient. For this instructional we will have two bare-faced edges to the tenons, so shoulders to two wider sides. On the glass washing machines there are some rollers that have wheels which are held in place with split collars, which are made from 316 stainless. Drilling a hole to strengthen a slot or right-angle is a classic trick, distributing the forces that would otherwise tend to be concentrated at the intersection of the two planes. This maximises wood where it is needed and the shouldered sides seat the joint and work as long-term lateral stabilizers.The company's registered address is Accsol House High Street, Johnstown, Wrexham, LL14 2SH, United Kingdom. In a video I once saw the same technique used in wooden boatbuilding when fastening the outer boards of the hull to the frames with wooden (round) plugs. Other hardwoods are known to fracture more readily under compression and across the grain and will prove unsuitable. Some people drill a small hole at the bottom of the sawn kerf to stop it splitting as the wedges are forced in. Of course, it is not always necessary to dry down further than the relative humidity in the surrounding atmosphere in which the final piece made will live.
