Make that crack disappear!

PowerKnife

Fitting a wooden splint into a cracked soundboard is a lot easier now, thanks to the PowerKnife, the latest time-saving tool from Don MacRostie and our research team. The old way of trimming a crack with a hand knife is tedious — the PowerKnife makes it fast and precise. Make that crack disappear, with results so clean your customer will wonder how you did it.

Repair shops: this tool pays for itself with your first job. You can make $100 or more each time you repair a cracked soundboard.

Instructions
 
The PowerKnife works with the Foredom® reciprocating handpiece and your Foredom flexible-shaft power tool.

The PowerKnife cleans, chisels, and tapers the crack, giving you accurate control of the width and the tapered depth of the cut. The jackhammer action of the chisel provides forward force for perfect directional control. A 5 oz. tube of lubricant is supplied with the Foredom handpiece; replacement tubes are available separately.

• Use the PowerKnife to trim the crack to uniform width and tapered depth
• Prepare a splint with matching taper on your tablesaw
• Fit and glue the splint into the widened crack
• Trim the splint flush, and touch-up the finish later to match the surrounding wood

Complete <instructions are included for easily preparing and splinting a crack.
