Woodpeckers new BigCal Woodworking Calipers do just that and more. Calipers are often used in metalworking, but most standard calipers max out at just 6\" and are graduated to the thousandth of an inch. BigCal combines machinist-level accuracy and furniture-sized scale in a caliper designed for woodworking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision… Inside AND Out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBigCal's jaws align perfectly\u003c\/strong\u003e between the inside and outside references. Now, you can transfer critical dimensions with an exact physical reference. To secure the jaws, we engineered a dual-function nut that applies a rock-solid grip and squares the jaw to the blade. That means no slip and no wiggle when transferring critical dimensions. You can lock the fixed jaw precisely at zero so you can slide the adjustable jaw out of the way and use BigCal as a T-square. And, they mill the tips of the outside jaws exactly 1\/8\" square, allowing you to register even the smallest slots or grooves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo more complicated dials\u003c\/strong\u003e or confusing fractions. The scales are engraved in both 1\/32\" and 1mm graduations. Turn BigCal over and you'll find the scales read from the opposite end. You can use this side to gauge the depth of a mortise or groove. They have made it easy to transfer that dimension using the scribing notch on the end of the blade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-milled from high-quality stainless steel,\u003c\/strong\u003e BigCal's blade is rigid even with the jaws fully extended. The jaws are milled from solid blocks of aircraft-grade aluminum. Then, finished in that signature Woodpeckers \"Red\" which will keep your calipers looking flawless for decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe BigCal is available in two sizes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe large caliper lets you measure inside or outside dimensions over 24\" (or 610mm). That's 18 inches more than most standard calipers. On the smaller BigCal, you'll get over 12\" between the jaws. The jaws on both are 2-1\/4\" deep for outside measurements and 3\/4\" for inside measurements. Each BigCal includes a wall-mountable Rack-It so your new tool will always be perched and ready to go to work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLike all Woodpeckers products,\u003c\/strong\u003e each BigCal Woodworking Caliper is precisely machined and carefully inspected in their Strongsville, Ohio, facility (just south of Cleveland)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eVideo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DZkaX1qlqZk?si=OQ7I_Azs38H8vBKX\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodpeckers","offers":[{"title":"12\"\/300mm w\/ Rack-It","offer_id":42233160532037,"sku":"BC-12300","price":125.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"24\"\/600mm w\/ Rack-It","offer_id":42233160564805,"sku":"BC-24600","price":159.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Combo set w\/ Rack-It","offer_id":42233160597573,"sku":"BC-COMBO","price":259.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/8600\/5039\/files\/1_fe0ee6e3-49bf-45f9-a632-92d6ba63b83f.jpg?v=1735066066"},{"product_id":"magquick-dust-ports","title":"MagQuick Dust Ports","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoodpeckers MagQuick Dust Ports \u003c\/strong\u003euse rare earth magnets to make swapping your dust collector hose a simple and painless task. By connecting the magnets to a steel ring (instead of magnets to magnets), you'll never have an issue with polarity alignment and you'll only have to buy one magnetic connector. They have also designed an internal bevel at the point where the two fittings meet. The bevel guides the connection into proper alignment as the magnets pull the fittings together. On the outside of the fittings you'll find another bevel that slides into flexible hose without a struggle and a groove around the fitting so your hose clamp creates a perfect seal and will never slip. The 3 different robust fittings are injection-molded from high-strength ABS. The Collector-Side fitting has the magnets. The Inline Machine-Side fitting has a steel ring and connects hose to hose. The third fitting is a Surface-Mount adapter you can use to build customized collection ports.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThere's science behind it…\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTake a look on the back side \u003c\/strong\u003eof the Collector Side magnetic port.

It's a big step for a woodworker to walk away from straight and square and start incorporating angles in joinery and design. Setting angles accurately on tools and jigs represents a huge part of the challenge. The Drill Press Protractor uses a vernier scale to let you set an angle as precisely as 5 minutes of a degree while reading engraved lines that are widely spaced and easy to see. Once you have your angle set, just mount the Drill Press Protractor in your chuck and adjust the table to match. Whether you're tackling splayed leg chairs and stools or adding a mid-century modern look to a coffee table or credenza, the Drill Press Protractor makes sure your angles are spot on. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou have your choice of degrees and minutes or quarter-degree graduations. \u003c\/strong\u003eJust turn the vernier over to change the scale. The vernier allows you to set small fractions of a degree using a scale where the lines are widely spaced and easy to see (instead of crammed together so tight you can't tell one from another)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Tramming\" your drill press has never been simpler. \u003c\/strong\u003eReturning your drill press to square can be just as challenging as setting an angle in the first place. But with the Drill Press Protractor, it's remarkably simple. Just set the DPP to 0°, chuck it up, adjust your table to match and lock. For verification, turn the chuck by hand and make sure it doesn't bind at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEver try to drill a dowel right on its centreline? \u003c\/strong\u003eThe vee machined into the base of the DPP makes it a simple set-up. Just bring the vee down onto the dowel and help  it \"float\" into position. Clamp the dowel down and exchange the DPP for your drill bit and it'll be right on the centreline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDon't get boxed in by the name. \u003c\/strong\u003eWhile it is called the Drill Press Protractor, that's really just the beginning of this tool. For instance, miter gauge scales are notoriously inaccurate. You can set any angle perfectly on your miter gauge by setting the angle on your DPP, then aligning the shaft to the miter bar and the DPP base to the face fo the miter gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLike all Woodpeckers products, \u003c\/strong\u003ethe Drill Press Protractor is precisely machined and carefully inspected in their Strongsville, Ohio facility just south of Cleveland. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch5 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eVideo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ttbL0CicDnQ?si=4YR9gKbWg2mZKE5s\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodpeckers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42385778114629,"sku":"DPP","price":105.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/8600\/5039\/files\/1_f7ba6eb6-ce46-40ba-8493-cbf4bc848ac1.jpg?v=1740072216"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/8600\/5039\/collections\/woodpeckers-new-products.png?v=1735672518","url":"https:\/\/www.woodvault.com\/collections\/woodpeckers-new-products.oembed","provider":"KJP Select Hardwoods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
