      Why is the Kristina Madsen article not mentioned online. I thought it was the best thing in this issue and cant find anything more about it online. It seems to be excluded from the website.

        The articles trickle out from the magazine over a few weeks. It's coming.

      Sorry to complain, but I read the Tools & Materials article on the Microjig 360 sled kit and went to Amazon to purchase it. Only after completing the purchase did I realize that the router bit is not part of the kit. The article states that the bit comes with the kit. The router bit is actually more than the kit itself (which is understandable, but not expected from the article).
