Now here we are three years later. I just purchased this and it is February 2024. I love the bridge city tool. From the packaging the customer service and the products it is unbelievable. Thank you very much for doing this video to further educate me in the use of this great tool.
I didn’t know these even existed. I love the concept. I just moved from another town. I had a great workshop there. The new owners loved my shop and bought the house and my complete workshop. So now I have built an new shop at my new location. I am currently outfitting it with all new equipment and tools. The house on this property was built in 1973 and needs a lot of help. So I am doing a complete gut and remodel. These would be a great help when I start the cabinets and trim in the house. I enjoy your vids. Keep them coming. Very helpful!
I am late to the table as usual. Everytime I watch you work I learn something I did not know. I own both of these tools. I am not really strong. Both of them I use regularly for different work. However… I always seem to migrate to Bridge City Tools. They just feel better in my hands and I have BIG problems with my hands. You cant go wrong with either tool. I use my BCT without a doubt more often across the board. They just work extremely well. Bridge City Tools are without a doubt a forever tools. Once you understand your tool they are awsome. Thank You. This is the best video ever on how to use these tools. I laughed at what I did not know…..
No need to apologise! We are all very grateful to individuals like you, who take the time to share your experience. I purchased the banggood version at the end of last year as it was on offer at £16 sterling. I have a sled for my table saw and just don't enjoy how messy cutting long rebates with a router is. Thanks for the clear explanation on how to use the tool.
More I watch your channel the more I realize how old school i am with woodworking. Can't thank you enough for opening my eyes to the new tech which has made my life so much better. Thanks again for all the work you put into these videos.
I like the Bridge City kerfmaker. What many tool makers forget is the instructions on how to use the tool. Yes there are number of TH-cam videos to that show how to use the tool, however for me it’s always nice to see written instructions.
I am just getting into the woodworking thing after 36 years in the oil industry. Retiring at age 70, I will be needing more tools. Thanks for the informative vids.
Hello Jodie. As mentioned in previous comments I own some Woodpecker/BCT/Bangood tools-measuring devices. However like you also stated on several occasions I do not have one in the same tool from two different providers so I have never been able to do my own direct comparisons. I have the Bangood kerfmaker such as the one you demo’d in this video. The fit and finish and performance to my eyes is equal to that of BCT. I have owned and used it for about one year now and so far the knurled lockdown knobs are working just fine. No slop or stripping of threads etc. it works flawlessly and am very happy with jt. I also have tenon maker and they work excellent paired together. Another great video for the community Harleymike/Chicago
Seriously you must be inside my head on all these videos! Another good one and I've been eyeing the Banggood version BUT I also took a Crack at making mine own when the cheaper version didn't exist. I was actually successful but 1) it took a long time and had to get some parts like the knurled thumb wheels and 2) it was a bit harrowing... can't believe I still have all my fingers cutting slots in small hardwood parts! So a cheap version is totally worth it!
I vaguely remember seeing something like this some time ago, but I've never owned or used one. Excellent demonstration! The only problem with your videos is that you always tempt me to buy more tools! :-)
Thank goodness for You Tubers. I got the non Bridge City model and as easy as it appears to use a kerfmaker, It is so much easier when someone explains it. Thanks and well done. I need to check out your channel.
Fairly new to woodworking and I’ll be honest, I tend not to watch a lot of videos made by guys at least two decades my junior, but you have an excellent pedagogical style, I’ve learned a lot from you and thanks for the the first rate information
I have never seen a kerfmaker used before and I am impressed with the way it works..I have just started woodworking at the house as I have retired and need things to do and have a fairly nice shop set up, but it is fairly small....makes it easier to get thing done. One of these would make a very nice addition to my shop...enjoyed the video very much....Thanks, Elton
Definitely something I can use. Simple now that you have demonstrated it. A cool tool especially for the “tool junkies “ in all of us. Thanks for all of your vids.
I love your comparisons. I just bought a set of Woodpecker squares because of what I learned from you. Yes they are expensive but I buying something to use for the rest of my life.
I purchased the Bridge City model years ago. It was pricy at the time but it has served me well over the years. I noticed that there are many "home made" versions of it that I'm sure work but the fit, feel and quality of the tool is what makes it satisfying to use. Thanks for the review.
I use the Bridge City Kerf Maker, and I love it. I bought it from the place I work at, we used to sell them, shame they no longer sell Bridge City, and no one does in Australia, so they're no longer available Downunder unless you order them online. Thanks for the comparison, it was worth seeing, shame more people don't see the value in them.
Love the way you present things. The information is direct with not a lot of fluff that I have seen in others. I am in the market for one of these but did not know if it would work for me and you took care of all that. Great job,
I've been doing woodworking for about a year now and just starting to do rabbits and dado's. for sure I found this video helpful and I have been thinking of making or buying a kerfmaker jig, but unsure. I've seen plenty of videos of these but found your video the better explain the detail use. I have attempted to do my own dado without the jig and let me say its not easy. Thanks again.
I bought mine off of Amazon, sorry I haven’t used it yet hence why I found your video but soon I’m build the frame to my bathroom vanity and wanted to go half laps and bridle joints and remembered I bought the kerf maker that looks identical to the grey and red one you have. Thanks for the demo, excited to use it Update: it sucks! Either there’s a learning curve with this or it isn’t designed well. The direction the wheels are tightened down in can totally screw up locking down the kerf and it’s been unreliable so far. It’s hard to explain but anyone who has it I’m sure will face the issue I’m facing. I’ll be making my own jig at this point!
For those that may not be able to afford a kerf maker, Pask Makes does a very simple kerf maker on his channel. Thanks for once again taking your time to compare the two items.
Unrelated topic but. I wanted you to know your channel is the best channel for showing and explaining Shou Sugi Ban. I have been all over youtube and I have to say your channel is the best on this topic.
i got mine from Banggood and I paid $20 which was a no brainer. it does the job. I had watched videos of guys making their own version but for the price and how it looked it was easier to spend the $20.
I bought one and I love it. Another great use is for t track dados. Best fit that I've ever had for t track......period. No "touching up" the dado after cutting it at all the 2 inch cutting width sucks a little. I have the hongdui version. It fell off of the tablesaw due to vibration and now there is a ton of play in it. If you pay attention and make sure that it's locked down straight, still works, but something to keep in mind on fit and finish.
Still wanting to get one of these. Edit after watching video: Absolutely love the way you walk us through the ‘how to’ part of the video. No one else would have explained the part of what to do with a wobbly blade like you just did. Brilliant in your barebones approach to educating us. Very refreshing.
Thanks for showing the multiple methods of determining the Kerf and use of the tools. Great tutorial. I needed a tool like that this week as I was cutting dados.
I do not have either of these, but have been looking at the Bridge City one as well as the plastic variant made by MicroJig (not a fair comparison). Over the years, I have been adding Bridge City Tools to my arsenal. To me, they are at least one step above in design, fit and finish of any tool they offer. When I was younger, I always went with the not quite top of the line. Now, I tend to go for the top shelf offering. You never have to justify settling for the very best. You can see the pride in everything Bridge City makes just by looking at the thought and engineering they put into the box the tool come in. Fantastic! >>>>>>>>>> THIS HAS BEEN AN UNPAID ENDORSEMENT. I DO NOT WORK FOR BRIDGE CITY OF ANY TOOL COMPANY. JUST A FANatic
I bought my Bridge City Kerfmaker about 5 years ago. It works beautifully and is extremely well-made. Notably it came with no special storage box nor instruction booklet. I used a youtube video for instructions. The price was rather high back then, around $80, as i recall.
Great detailed video explaining how to use these tools to a person(like myself) who has never used or even hear of those before. Thanks for the information. 😎
This review is timely. I'm new to woodworking and was looking into this type of tool a couple of weeks ago, but opted to skip it for now because I wasn't sure how or if I would use it. This video helped a great deal. I've really enjoyed your videos. Especially those wood burning how to videos. Thank you.
Dude if you knew how many test cuts I’ve made to make tight dados! Great tool, love your video delivery, clear and to the point. Really helpful stuff. I need this tool in my life!
Excellent video. I have only just come across your channel and am very impressed. As a (serious hobby and sometime seller) cabinet maker with 45+ years of experience, little inspires me more to watch well produced videos, communicated in an easy going way that show me something or a method or a process that I didn’t know. Of course, there are many ways to do something right; and many ways to do it wrong. Your videos show relatively simple ways to achieve a high standard. What makes a good craftsman? My answer would be accuracy and consistency through pride and patience. We may say that we strive for perfection but “perfection” in woodwork is quite different from “perfection” in precision machine engineering. Timber varies in how it deals with stress and moisture; plywood doesn’t vary like that so much but do varies in thickness across or along a board. We work with those inconsistencies to achieve a standard which satisfies us. Not absolute perfection but a lot more than “good enough”. From a new, very happy subscriber.
The way you explained the use of these was really easy to follow. I will have to look into getting one. I knew there was an easier way to set up for these cuts. Thanks for the video.
I own the Hongdu from Banggood. I agree with you that fit and finish, along with the presentation case were better than I expected. When ordering from China the delivery took almost 5 weeks. I am pleased with the results on the quick test joints I made. I, too, saw this product on "Hooked on Wood."
Starting my woodworking hobby late in life, 60! These sound like the perfect tool for beginners and professionals alike. Great vid! I especially like it wasn't overpowered by pointless music
I love your show. I'm a basic woodworker. I live the woodweight shop. That's how I found you. Recomendation. I love the room devudwe. I'm gonna put that brand up in the spring in my garage.
Best explanation of using a kerf maker I have seen. They both look nice. Bridge City is fairly expensive and I am always hesitant to buy from Banggood.
I don't have one, but looks like a good alternative to a dado stack. Your channel is awesome in helping me decide which tools I need/don't need to build up my garage...
I've been impressed with Bridge City Tool Works products for years. Nice to see that Banggood offers a similar product for the cost conscious consumer. Thank you for the review and for the comparison.
1st, why would you thumbs down such an informative vid, 2nd, it is pronounced “Hong Do Ee” (thanks Darren Gerbrandt) a Cantonese OEM woodworking factory in Guangdong, China est 2014
I always find your explanations easy to follow. Nicely done. I don't have this tool but it seems like such a quick, no measure tool that leads to a nice fitting dado. Please do keep up the quality videos.
I'm fairly new to woodworking. Still saving up for decent tools. I've seen these tools on youtube videos, and think they would be very helpful, as my dados need help! Love your channel. I appreciate the way you explain things. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thanks for the demonstration and comparison. The video was interesting and informative. I have seen many different kerfmakers but still haven’t purchased one or made one.
I have the original US made Bridge City version that I used often when I first got it but not so much anymore. I always found I had to watch the instructions each time to make sure I did it right. Regardless, well made and great concept.
I actually had the Bridge City one, and after seeing this video a while back, bought the Hongdui one for comparison. After using both, gotta say I prefer the Hongdui one. Maybe because I like the larger size or whatever. It just seems to work better for me. Quite an impressive little tool.
This giveaway is now closed and the random winners have been notified. Thank you so much to everyone who watched and commented!
Now here we are three years later. I just purchased this and it is February 2024. I love the bridge city tool. From the packaging the customer service and the products it is unbelievable. Thank you very much for doing this video to further educate me in the use of this great tool.

I got this as a gift two years ago. I had no idea what it was. Thanks for the lesson. I’m going to put it to use right now 😊
REally good. Lots of reviews where they show you the tool, but don't do anything with it. This was excellent.

Hi i have the Hongdui and have used it a lot in the last year with no problems at all. Its quick and accurate. Thanks Bob

I learned about kermakers last year. Never knew much about it when watching vids. It's a really good idea with a very useful function
Love the way you present things. The information is direct with not a lot of fluff that I have seen in others. I am in the market for one of these but did not know if it would work for me and you took care of all that. Great job,

Hands down my favorite new woodworking channel!

Great head-to-head video. I ordered up a Banggood about a month ago. It arrived this week without written instructions. Thanks for the "how-to"!

I'm not yet woodworking yet, but like the info on different tools and techniques. Found this very helpful.
A kerfmaker has been on the to-do list for a while. One of those would let me skip ahead. Thanks for the tips!
I bought my Bridge City Kerfmaker about 5 years ago. It works beautifully and is extremely well-made. Notably it came with no special storage box nor instruction booklet. I used a youtube video for instructions. The price was rather high back then, around $80, as i recall.
I didn't know this tool existed until today. Very clear explanation on how it works! I'd like to have one in my shop.
New to wood working. I really like the way you keep things simple in your explanations. I like how that tool can take the trail and error away.
Great detailed video explaining how to use these tools to a person(like myself) who has never used or even hear of those before. Thanks for the information. 😎

I have the Bridge City model but I’ve never used it yet. Thanks, Jody, for the most clear, simple explanation/demonstration of how it works.
Love these comparison videos and the fact you are not pushing just one product over another based on brand(cost).
Great informational video. I like that you never rule out the less expensive option and try to convince people they need more expensive tools!
I love these comparisons. So much more usable information than reviews on websites that can't be trusted to be accurate.
Thanks Jodi, for sharing another great tool in the workshop. Your channel is always on my list when I want something explained clearly.
Love your temperament. Your ability to teach and make things easy to understand is great! Thank you
I didn't even know that such a tool existed. Very cool demonstration. Nice work!
Just learning wood working and you do a great job explaining different technics thank you sir
I just want to say… you have the best how-to videos!!
Wow I didn’t even know what kerf was. I didn’t realize how awesome that works. Thanks for the video this is going on my list
So many things to keep up with that's out there. Glad there's people workin to help new woodworkers get started
I own the Hongdu from Banggood. I agree with you that fit and finish, along with the presentation case were better than I expected. When ordering from China the delivery took almost 5 weeks. I am pleased with the results on the quick test joints I made. I, too, saw this product on "Hooked on Wood."
This video was very useful for me. I have been seen in hearing a lot about Kurt cutters but did not know how they operated. Now I do
All the Hongdui (Hong Do Ee - thanks Darren) products are exceptionally well made,
Starting my woodworking hobby late in life, 60! These sound like the perfect tool for beginners and professionals alike. Great vid! I especially like it wasn't overpowered by pointless music
Thanks from west coast of Scotland for your clear explanation. Looking forward to receiving my kerfmaker soon! 🌎
Both appear to be excellent solutions to a real problem. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Banggood has really upped their game in tools over the last couple years. Thanks for the review
Seen these before but never looked into how to use them. This would be super helpful. Always great videos, have learned a ton through this channel.
Never seen a professional made kerfmaker! Thank you for your comparison.
Love your videos! I just spend several hours cutting some grooves and dados the long way.... these would make my life a lot easier!!
I love your show. I'm a basic woodworker. I live the woodweight shop. That's how I found you. Recomendation. I love the room devudwe. I'm gonna put that brand up in the spring in my garage.
Best explanation of using a kerf maker I have seen. They both look nice. Bridge City is fairly expensive and I am always hesitant to buy from Banggood.
Video on dados and grooves was very helpful. I am just getting into woodworking.
I never thought I would want one but now I do. Greatly explanation
These tools seem to be so easy to use to bring much more accuracy to dado cuts. You convince me that I need one! Thanks for the explanation!
I like the way you explain things, Jodi. I’m glad that I discovered your channel!
Like always great video.. I'm new at woodworking and you make it simple for newbies like me.. Thanks
I saw couple of reviews on Hongdui dado jig but this one is by far the best one.. Now I know that this jig might be handy for me 👍🏼
I never realized how much I needed one of these, until now...
I don't have one, but looks like a good alternative to a dado stack. Your channel is awesome in helping me decide which tools I need/don't need to build up my garage...
I've been impressed with Bridge City Tool Works products for years. Nice to see that Banggood offers a similar product for the cost conscious consumer. Thank you for the review and for the comparison.
Great video. Another tool I had to ask myself, “Why did I not think of that?” I would love to own either. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for that demo... I never knew that tool existed. Gives me a great reason to buy another tool!
1st, why would you thumbs down such an informative vid, 2nd, it is pronounced “Hong Do Ee” (thanks Darren Gerbrandt) a Cantonese OEM woodworking factory in Guangdong, China est 2014
Another video in the books and another job well done! I have neither of the kerf tools, and would happily receive one. :) Keep up the good work.
I made a kerf maker from an internet plan. Seems to work OK. Enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the demo. I'm familiar with Bridge City's. I've also made my own. Nice to have one. Setup is fast and accurate. Cheers!
I always find your explanations easy to follow. Nicely done. I don't have this tool but it seems like such a quick, no measure tool that leads to a nice fitting dado. Please do keep up the quality videos.
I'm fairly new to woodworking. Still saving up for decent tools. I've seen these tools on youtube videos, and think they would be very helpful, as my dados need help!
Love your channel. I appreciate the way you explain things. Thanks for doing what you do.
Another great video sir. looking forward to what comes next.
Thanks for the demonstration and comparison. The video was interesting and informative. I have seen many different kerfmakers but still haven’t purchased one or made one.
I have the original US made Bridge City version that I used often when I first got it but not so much anymore. I always found I had to watch the instructions each time to make sure I did it right. Regardless, well made and great concept.
Wonderfully presented. Most videos I've seen on kerf makers are... hmm... less followable and more scattered. Nicely done.
Another great video. I have a home made kerf maker that I just used yesterday so this video hit the spot
Excellent review! I am a big fan of Bridge City Tools and John Economaki, the OG of design and function.
Awesome video. I had no idea what those were, but you explained them perfectly. Thank you.
This was the comparison I was waiting for. Had my eyes on both of these but wanted to see a side-by-side somewhere. Thanks, dude!
I actually had the Bridge City one, and after seeing this video a while back, bought the Hongdui one for comparison. After using both, gotta say I prefer the Hongdui one. Maybe because I like the larger size or whatever. It just seems to work better for me. Quite an impressive little tool.
Thanks for making these videos. It great to get to know some many different tools and how they work!
Mind blown. Thanks for the education. Your videos are improving my woodworking!
Wow!!! This is sooo useful!!!
I wish I knew this tool in a great numbers of my projects!!!
I should get one!
