An integrated woodworking system connectable to an external source of electricity includes an enclosure, a management and control center, and plural tool holders. The management and control center is provided in the enclosure; is connectable to the source of electricity and a source of gas pressure; can control the consumption of input electricity, the flow rate of input gas, and a pneumatic tool such as a dust collector; and has at least one electricity output cable and at least one gas output hose. The tool holders are provided in the enclosure and are each connected to the electricity output cable or the gas output hose. The system incorporates the woodworking tools one needs into the enclosure and can be sold as a whole to save the trouble of purchasing and installing the tools individually. By managing power consumption in general, the system prevents overloading.

A light attachment that can be readily mounted on a variety of tools and tool support fixtures and other support structures includes a light portion supported on a mounting portion by a flexible gooseneck cable. The mounting portion includes a housing that defines a male-female attachment element configured to slidingly mate with a complementary attachment element formed on the body of the power tool. In a preferred embodiment, the attachment element has a dovetail shape for sliding engagement within a complementary shaped notch in the body of the tool. The housing contains a power source for the light portion. The light portion incorporates an on-off switch that is actuated by rotating a component that is threadedly engaged within the housing. The housing supports a printed circuit board to which the power supply wires are attached. The circuit board also carries a spring contact switch element that completes an electrical circuit to energize the light portion when the spring contact is pressed against the circuit board. Power is supplied through the circuit board and switch to an LED light element. The LED is disposed within the housing so that the rotatable component can push the base of the LED into the spring switch to close the electrical circuit.

A multi-purpose woodworking fixture having structure for facilitating precision-controlled positioning of a woodworking tool, such as a router, about a wood workpiece for cutting wood-joint cuts, wood molding, or geometric designs. The fixture facilitates making a variety of the common wood-joints including dovetail joints, box joints, dado joints, dovetail-dado joints, rabbet joints, combination rabbet and dado joints, mortise and tenon joints, mortise and mortise joints, biscuit joints, lap joints, cross lap joints, end lap joints, dowel joints, spline joints, tongue and groove joints and stile and rail joints. The fixture features a router carriage, a detachable calibrated router positioning mechanical attachment for positioning the router in the X-direction and Y-directions and which complements the router's adjustment in the Z-direction. The fixture enhance the router's capabilities for controllably working on the workpiece, either in a freehand manner or by using the calibrated router positioning mechanical attachment, either manually or with an optional motorized means.

An apparatus is described that is suitable for mounting in a variety of orientations and for forming a variety of woodworking joints at a high throughput. The apparatus is directed to a tool that couples with a power tool to either plunge into or cross feed through a workpiece. The apparatus is particularly well suited for forming biscuit dado, dado, mortise, tenon, floating tenon, dowel, bridle, half lap, tongue, and groove joints, without requiring significant tool changes.
