History

Eurekazone was founded in the year 2000 by Dino 'the carpenter', a woodworker who loves his trade and understands the associated problems that come with it. His vision is to make woodworking easier, safer, and affordable to all because woodworking is art, fun, a refuge, and an honest profession.

'If we can make turns around Saturn these days, I'm sure we can find a better way to cut and shape materials, keep our vocational and trade schools open, providing a way for our youngsters to learn a trade and improve their lifestyle.'

Our Design Philosophy

The Dead Wood concept and the EZ smart
Everyone has had a few close calls working with wood. We become complacent. We relax. We try to work with the tool in an unsafe manner, and we know it. Many things happen when we work with wood. Some of these things can scar us for life.

We have these thoughts as we look for ways to make this occupation and hobby safer. The idea we have embraced is the 'Dead Wood Concept'. We have sought to design a system of tools and accessories which will keep the wood dead still in place as we cut, bore, plane, rout, etc. First we eliminate the opportunity for the wood to become a projectile. Next, we position the power tools in such a way that hands and fingers stay clear of the tool path. Then the path of the power tool is always going away from the body guided in the track of the rail.

This concept of securing the work piece is widely used. By labeling it the 'Dead Wood Concept', we are just calling attention to our desire to make woodworking safer and more enjoyable. We like designing 'Smart Tools for Smart People'.

Our Goal...

We're almost there

The Feedback from our customers say it all

To Everyone,

As a shop teacher I think more about how to work safe than most people. I have fearless teenagers who aren't afraid of any tool in our current arsenal. The EZ system is the safest and most practical system of cutting panels that I have ever used hands down. Now I understand that panel reduction is only a part of woodworking. I argue that all of Dino's products are equally as good for working hardwood. ... If it sounds like I am passionate about the Eurekazone its because I have seen that the EZ systems can prevent accidents, not only that it can be many times more productive than conventional woodworking systems. I view it as my duty to demonstrate this system to every potential student that walks through my door. I know there is the EZ challenge and I challenge anyone who is a fan of this system to promote it. Take a look good hard look at woodworking today, we need it to advance and to be safer and smarter for future generations. Dino keep up the exceptional work and thanks for all you have done for me.

Sincerely,
Darin Fritz
