Japanese Specialty Woodworking Tools: A Knot Remover Kit

By Rain Noe - June 4

in Tools & Craft

When crafting objects or structures out of real wood, knots are part of the aesthetic. But particularly demanding clients might find them objectionable. Enter this Knot Remover kit, from Japanese tool manufacturer Star-M.

First you drill the knot out with the tapered bit.

Then you attach this thing, which is essentially a giant pencil sharpener, to your drill.

You select a dowel of the appropriate size and go at it.

Pound the dowel in with glue, flush-cut it, and you're good to go. (No idea why they don't include a shot of the completed process.)
