Multiple guests will make special appearances during events at this week’s AWFS Fair.

It’s not too late to make plans to attend AWFS Fair. New technology, innovation, exhibitors and education events await woodworkers.

Bessey Tools' new GearKlamp, recently named a 2019 AWFS Visionary Award finalist, features a crank handle that's been moved from the acme screw to the clamp bar itself - allowing clamping in confined spaces.

Yeti Tool's new SmartBench - recently named an AWFS Visionary Award finalist for 2019 - is the world's first portable, industrial-grade CNC router. It can also be assembled in as little as three minutes.

Many trends in color and style come from fashion. Technology trends are dictated by the consumer and government regulation. Keeping up with these trends can make or break your business.

Patterson invites show attendees to send him information about their product and production needs, and include a design, that ShopBot will cut.

Women of Woodworking (WOW!), a group of women dedicated to provide a space for women working in wood products manufacturing, will meet at an AWFS luncheon July 18.

Visitors to the show can learn more about Alphacam for wood, stone, and metal; the Cabinet Vision design-to-manufacturing software, and the Workplan process-planning system.

The work cell comprises four machines: 7400 vertical panel saw, Conquest Industries B0122 pneumatic line boring machine, 72 GP edgebander and SPM301 screw pocket machine.

Staff and industry volunteers from the Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers (AWFS) assisted as contest coordinators, judges, and with overall contest support.
