SOMMERFELD’S TOOLS For Wood Order Line: 1-888-228-9268 TM Meet Master Cabinetmaker Marc Sommerfeld …and take just 2 minutes to discover why you should order your cabinetmaking tools, bits and accessories from… By the time Marc Sommerfeld graduated from Wayne State College in Nebraska in 1970, he was already on a path that would lead him to become one of America’s foremost cabinetmaking authorities. Educating others becomes Marc’s passion It all began in 1971 with a 17-year career as industrial arts instructor and basketball coach at Iowa’s Remsen-Union High School, where Marc perfected his easy-going, credible teaching style. In 1983, he launched a special woodworking program through which students designed and built grandfather clocks for their families…a program that eventually created heavy demand for an adult education class that Marc taught in the evenings. Teaching prompts outside-the-box innovation Soon, his spare-time cabinetmaking for friends was growing so rapidly that he hired and taught an apprentice. Along the way, he developed dozens of new cabinetmaking methods, including better ways to build angled and curved cabinets…and lots more. Marc takes what he knows on the road In 1990, Marc signed on for a 30-city woodworking show tour, demonstrating a unique pocket hole assembly system he had developed. Show attendees started asking Marc to record his techniques, prompting a series of seven instructional videos on the topic. Sommerfeld’s Tools for Wood was off to a great start. How Marc’s latest venture benefits YOU After 17+ years of traveling the woodworking show circuit, Marc continues his insatiable quest for new procedures, educational materials and innovative product ideas to help cabinetmakers everywhere -- hobbyists and professionals alike – work efficiently, precisely and rewardingly. By the way…he still teaches cabinetmaking and other courses from time-to-time. THE BOTTOM LINE … Most of the products in this catalog were designed by Marc Sommerfeld to be better than their alternatives. This is not a statement we make lightly…but rather, one backed by Marc’s experience and inventiveness – PLUS -- a 90-day Money-Back Satisfaction Guarantee!

Making the cabinet is for the dedicated woodworker and provides a stable platform with plenty of storage...The price is good for a system of this quality and there has obviously been a lot of thought gone into its design from someone who is a woodworker.” Alan Goodsell - Editor Router & Power Woodworking Magazine July/August 2008 See pg 8-9 for more information on the Sommerfeld Router Table System TEST sOmmeRFelD ROUTING sysTem assembly The first thing to do is assemble the top, and the three aluminum extrusions are bolted together, the piece with the hole in it going in the middle. The extrusions have a tapered, tongue and groove edge that makes sure that the pieces fit together perfectly and entirely flush on the top. Three bolts hold each piece to the next one and you need to make sure the ends are flush when you tighten up the bolts, as the fence end pieces will not fit well otherwise. The fence end track brackets are next to fit, and they are bolted from beneath, utilizing the t-slots in the underside of the table top. The fence end tracks are bolted to the end brackets and provide a t-slot for the fence to run in, and tighten to. It is recommended in the instruction manual that at this stage you make a plywood sub base for the top. This is not to give strength but to form a transition to build the cabinet base on to. This plywood base will also be the correct size so you can position the router table top next to the top of a standard table saw, which will then be its base. The plans recommend that you use a tongue and groove construction technique for the plywood base, which I agree with for ease and strength. The fence is next to fit, and this is yet another substantial extrusion, literally bristling with t-slots. Bolts fit into the t-slots of the fence end tracks and pass up through holes in the fence, to which good-sized knobs fit on to. They provide plenty of locking power and I didn't find that the fence was even tempted to move when locked. There is an option to use a 'pivot mode' and this is where one side of the fence has a pin that passes through it to a hole in the top and the other side of the fence is locked in the usual way. As the fence only pivots, this makes for quicker cutting depth adjustments. The black HDPE faces are attached to the fence with bolts that are accessed from the front, so no reaching over to the back I Bolt the top pieces together CONsTRUCTION This system is almost exclusively made from gold anodized aluminum extrusions that make up the router table top as well as the fence, and you soon notice that they are of top quality and precisely flat. The top pieces feature t-tracks either side to give a wide range of options for the positioning of miter slides and feather boards. When assembled, the top is 36” by 27” and the fence is 48” long, which will give you plenty of run on and run off that is unusual for a router table. Also supplied are all the fixtures and fittings that you need to assemble the unit, including the tools, to make lateral adjustments. Slipperyfaced adhesive tape goes between the faces and the fence to make them slide easily. There are zero clearance inserts that go between the faces, locating in beveled ends, so you can run any required bit into them and cut exactly the profile of HDPE faces for the fence, three zero clearance inserts, a pivot pin, a dust port, three insert rings, an instructional DVD and plans to make the cabinet. alan Goodsell unpacks and tries the new routing system from sommerfeld Tools t is always good to try out a new woodworking tool even when you think you have seen it all. There are a lot of router tables out there and it is sometimes difficult to set one apart from another, and many of them look like they have come off the same production line, just with a different badge. This one from Sommerfeld Tools is different right from the start, as you would think it just isn't possible to fit a router table top of 36” x 27” in that long, thin box. When you unpack it and make the obligatory inspection of the parts the reason soon becomes obvious. The top is made up of a series of three 36” long by 9” wide aluminum extrusions that bolt together, and there are no legs, you build a supporting cabinet with the supplied plans. This is a novel approach for a router table, and I did wonder if this was a good idea, as the table needs to be perfectly flat to ensure precision cutting. TEST TEST Make sure the piece with the router hole is in the middle See the tapered T&G fitting that holds the top pieces flush Attach the fence end brackets and the fence end tracks The fence faces are easily adjusted and there are three table insert options the bit giving…zero clearance. A nice dust extractor port fitting slides into slots on the back of the fence, and as it is tight fitting it is tapped into place in the center of the fence, where it won't move. The port is stepped so you can cut it at the size that matches your extractor pipe. The last thing to do is to attach your router, the top is pre-drilled for mounting Triton and most Porter Cable routers but it doesn't look like it would be difficult to drill to fit any router you have. You have the choice of three insert rings to go in the top to fit tight to the router bit you are using. That is pretty much assembly complete if you plan to use it by the side of your table saw. However, you will find it is a much better experience if you make the 10-drawer cabinet base, which is recommended, and you will find comprehensive instructions on how to make it on the supplied DVD. CabINeT Making the cabinet base is relatively straightforward and you will find cutting lists, tools required lists and step-bystep instructions in the manual, and as I mentioned earlier the DVD covers its construction well too. I won't go into much detail here as it is standard cabinet construction, and you can see from the illustration what is involved. It does look fantastic, and is extremely useful when it is made, but there is a considerable time and material commitment involved. THe VeRDICT The underside of the fully assembled top You also get three zero clearance inserts The finished cabinet, and the table is ready to go The Sommerfeld Routing System is really superbly made and a joy to use due to its simple but robust design, along with its strength and stability. Making the cabinet is for the dedicated woodworker and provides a stable platform with plenty of storage, but I would like to see an option of a set of sturdy legs so I can simply bolt them to it and get routing straight away. The price is good for a system of this quality and there has obviously been a lot of thought gone into its design from someone who is a woodworker. ■ sPeCIFICaTIONs & PRICe Sommerfeld Routing System Table: $339.90 Fence: $229.90 Both: $549.90 Table top: 36”x 27” Fence: 48 long Fence faces: HDPE Dust port: Up to 2 ⁄ ” Make a plywood sub-assembly to fit a table saw or cabinet CONTaCT Assemble the fence and attach it to the top, it will look this from the front... ...and this from the back A drawing of the cabinet, which is up to you to make For further information, contact: Sommerfeld Tools Tel: 1-888-228-9268 Web: www.sommerfeldtools.com Issue 27 May/June 2008 33 Issue 28 July/August 2008 31 32 Router & Power Woodworking Order online: www.sommerfeldtools.com SOMMERFELD’S TOOLS For Wood Online: www.sommerfeldtools.com Why Sommerfeld’s Router Bit Sets are your best choice Height-Matching saves your set-up and machining time and helps you achieve top-notch accuracy - every time Here’s why you’ll want our Height-Matched Bit Sets Every routing expert and book offers the same law of router bit insertion: Insert the bit until it bottoms-out in the collet seat – then retract it 1/16” to 1/8” before tightening. Here’s why. Although the insides of collets are straight to accept the shanks of your bits, when collet nuts are tightened, it’s the tapered outside surface that causes the collet opening to close tightly around the bit as it’s drawn down into the seat. If the bit is already in contact with the collet seat when you tighten the nut, its shank won’t allow the collet to be pulled fully into the seat. Not tight. Perhaps not precisely straight. Certainly not a good thing. Notice how the cutters on our equal shaft length bits (i.e.: this 3-Pc Raised Panel Set) match-up perfectly with all shank ends resting on the bench surface In the photo at left, we see a bit inserted into a collet, with the collet nut in position. Note the bottom of the split collet protruding below the nut. Set-up consistency is the key to your success It stands to reason that if you’re unable to retract every bit the same, identical distance every time you insert it, you can’t be confident that every set-up will be identical. This is especially true with mating bits (i.e. Tongue & Groove – Cope & Stick – etc.)… where you could waste considerable time and scrap on countless trial-and-error set-up attempts. SOMMERFELD’S TOOLS For Wood TM …Router Bit Sets solve your problems Stop wasting your valuable time raising and lowering your router, making test cuts to get mating bits in a set to match up. The Sommerfeld Difference All matching bits in our Sets are precision machined to the identical length so they automatically match-up every time you drop them into the collet without a lot of timeconsuming trial-and-error set-up cuts Bit height set-up is a breeze with our Easy Set Jig SEE PAGE 53 Note also how the bottom of the bit shank rests on the 1/2” dia. rubber grommet. See page 8 A simple rubber grommet provides the solution Drop a small, 1/2” rubber grommet like the one shown here into the collet before inserting any of the bits in our matched sets. See page 8. After considerable research and more than 10 years’ experience using this method, we have determined that the shanks of all our matched-length Sommerfeld bits will bottom-out identically in the collet… and allow the collet to be drawn down into its sleeve the same precise distance…every time…without multiple router height adjustments. That’s why we include one of these grommets with every Sommerfeld Router Bit Set you purchase from us. Toll Free Order Line: 1-888-228-9268 Set the height for one bit in a matched set and the other(s) are automatically set when you drop them into the collet Since all bits in each set (as well as some others across sets) are matched, just set your bit height once and all other Sommerfeld Bits that are designed to mate with it will be dead-on aligned the minute you drop them into the collet. Fast. Easy. Foolproof. MARC’S TIP: With Sommerfeld’s Easy Set Jig, just twist the dial to the thickness of your wood, line up the router bit profile with the desired bit profile on the Jig and you’re ready to go to work. First class quality that lasts Every Sommerfeld Bit is center-ground and CNC machined to stringent standards from premium quality high-speed steel for optimal balance and durability.

Marc Sommerfeld’s Router Tables Made Easy DVD. In this DVD, Marc leads you step-by-step through building this great cabinet for your new Router Table System. Plus…pick up loads of great tips and secrets from one of America’s leading cabinetmaking experts. A $9.90 VALUE You’ll learn how to… • Assemble your new Router Table System • Build a 10-drawer, raised panel router table cabinet • Use the fast, easy tongue & groove method of cabinet construction • Cut & assemble dovetail drawers • Install drawer slides, hinges & handles • Make raised panel doors and drawer fronts • Mount your new Router System to the cabinet • Mount your Router System to a table saw Large workpieces or small, this 45# Table and its 48” long Fence will handle them with ease and precision Designed by Marc Sommerfeld and extruded in the USA… it’s true, dimensionally stable and a joy to use. Router tables are amazingly versatile tools. But they’re only as good as they are true, dimensionally stable in changing environments and simple. For example….. 4 The trueness of tables made from glued-up hardwoods or laminatecovered composites can be affected by changing environmental conditions. Not ours! 4 Small tables and fences don’t provide adequate workpiece support, allowing the stock to move off-path, ruining the cut. This system is ULTRA supportive. 4 If adjustments aren’t fast and simple, valuable production time will be lost. There’s no alignment required, no scales to read and only one Knob to twiddle with Sommerfeld’s Router Table System. Nothing could be easier. This System is clearly DIFFERENT The Table is shipped as three “9” W x 36” L, extrusions that you join together with precision aluminum tongue & groove joints and six bolts. The entire process takes less than an hour…plus the small amount of time it requires to attach your router base to the tabletop (practically zero with our Triton routers). Once assembled, chances are, you’ll be awe-struck by its giant size, handsome gold-anodized finish and how easy it is to use. Set the 19 lb. Fence on the Table surface. Slide the hex head of the Fence Tightening Knob bolt into the left side T-slot…maneuver the opposite end of the Fence a bit until the spring-loaded Pivot Pin pops into its hole…and you’re just about ready. Install a bit and adjust its height. If your task calls for using a piloted bit, swing the fence in or out and use a straightedge to align the O.D. of your bit’s bearing with the Sub Fence face. Now, you’re ready to… …prove everything we’ve said…in your own shop 8 FREE How-To DVD 90-DAY When you’re finished, you’ll have a fantastic, practical cabinet for your Router Table System !

For convenience…muscle…and value…you can’t beat these two Down-Under-Designed Triton Routers. In fact, Marc liked them so much, the mounting holes* for them are already pre-drilled in the surface of every Sommerfeld’s Routing System Table. The built-in shaft lock and single wrench system make bit changes quick and easy. Turn on the switch, rotate the speed dial to match your speed to the material and bit you’re using and say goodbye to burning. Use the button on the winder knob to select rack-and-pinion or free plunge mode. Left undepressed, cut depth is controlled by pulling the clutch ring on the back of the winder knob and rotating the knob in either direction…moving the router up or down. The 2 ¼ hp Triton is designed to accommodate an accessory winder handle that’s inserted through a hole in your router table’s surface.* 2-1/4HP models are shipped with one of these handles. These are both top-quality routers and the perfect complement to Marc’s Routing System Table shown on page 6-7.* You will not be disappointed. KEY COMMON FEATURES: • Push-button plunge control lets you switch between winder knob activated rack-&-pinion AND free plunge routing modes • 3-step turret lets you pre-set for multiple depths-of-cut with ensured repeatability • Micro-winder knob allows fine adjustments to depth-of-cut when the router is set for rack-and-pinion plunging • Powerful, high-torque motors with variable electronic speed control (8,000- 21,000rpms) and soft start-up • Built-in 1-1/2” O.D. dust port helps capture debris ITEM RBR/32828352 Description Sale Rubber Grommet $.49 2-1/4 HP 3-1/4 HP 2-1/4 HP 3-1/4 HP Item # MOF001 KC TRC001 Price: $209.90 $209.90 Power 2-1/4 Hp 3-1/4 Hp 13 A 15 A Amperage Speed Control Variable speed with soft start & continuous speed control under load RPM Range Collets Included Plunge Range Infinitely adjustable - 8,000 to 21,000 rpms 1/2” & 1/4” 1/2” (w/ 1/4” collet adaptor) 2-5/16” 2-21/32” (from top to start of interlock) 19/32” (from start of interlock to full plunge) Micro-Adjustment Through-Table Depth Adjustment Infinite throughout full plunge range Yes – height adjustment crank included No – Twist the gripping knob for rack-and-pinion plunging Plunge Pre-Sets Yes, 3-Step Yes, 3-Step Base Diameter 6-1/2” – 3-5/32” opening 7” Max.

In today’s world of tight budgets and even tighter schedules, however, the idea of fitting two pieces of wood into an interlocking joint seems too slow, so we often settle for less. Well, there’s no need to compromise quality for speed any more! The Sommerfeld Tongue & Groove Cabinetmaking System combines the best of Old World joinery with New World tooling. The result is a system that is fast and easy, yet accurate and strong. Marc’s unique system combines the new Tongue & Groove bit set shown above with the Easy Pocket pocket hole jig on the facing page. The tongue and groove provides accuracy and strength where it is crucial, and pocket hole speed and ease where it is practical. The photos and illustrations at right give you an overview of this new approach, and Marc’s new Cabinetmaking Made Easy DVD shows you every detail. The Three-Bit Tongue and Groove Set includes carefully-matched bits that cut a 1/4” x 1/4” tongue. Unlike other tongue and groove sets, these bits offset the tongue to one side of the joint, making it ideal for Marc’s new techniques. The set also includes a flush trim bit to remove portions of the tongue, as shown in the second photo at right. Be sure to check out the Easy Pocket Joinery System. It’s the perfect partner in the new Sommerfeld Tongue & Groove Cabinetmaking System. Use with stock up to 7/8” thick This set features a tongue that is offset (not centered), which is a key factor in Marc’s new system. No other tongue & groove set offers this advantage. 1/4” 1/4” Buy Marc’s new Cabinetmaking Made Easy DVD with the Tongue and Groove Set and Save $5.00! DVD: DVD4 Regular Sale: $9.90 With Purchase of Set: $4.90 12 The tongue and groove joint is used in virtually every step of Marc’s new cabinetmaking technique. Grooves are routed in the backs of frame elements, tongues are routed on ends, floors and dividers. Then the Easy Pocket takes over, producing strong, attractive face frame joints. Occasionally portions of the tongue must be removed, as in the case of the cabinet divider at left. This is accomplished in just a few seconds using the Flush Trim Bit included in the Three-Piece Set. The Easy Pocket is the perfect complement to the Tongue & Groove Set. Besides making great face frame joints, it provides a fast, accurate means of attaching bottoms, sides and dividers to the face frame. Every pocket hole joint is completely concealed. The Tongue & Groove joint is used in every element of the cabinet, even the back rails. The Easy Pocket and the Tongue & Groove Set team up to make cabinet work faster, easier and stronger - check out the corner braces at left. The result of these innovative new ideas and products is a beautiful, solidly-built cabinet. Better still, it is a method that is fast, efficient, and easy to repeat, whether you are building a single cabinet or an entire kitchen.
