Woodworking power tools can be classified according to the level and scope of work performed:

• professional;
• semi-professional;
• amateur.

Despite the popularity of polymers and metal in construction due to their practicality, durability and ease of use, wood adds a sense of comfort, coziness and peace of mind to any building, which is why many builders like to work with wood.

Among woodworking tools there are manual, electric, as well as "heavy artillery" - machines. In this article, we will focus on portable power tools for woodworking.

Now, for each woodworking operation, there is a hand-held power tool, we will consider them in more detail.

Electric jigsaw

Suitable for cutting materials of small thickness, however, the main functionality of an electric jigsaw is figured sawing. A thin and narrow blade gives this handheld power tool flexibility and maneuverability, allowing you to set the desired direction of the cut line.

When choosing a jigsaw, pay attention to the presence of a pendulum stroke - this increases its efficiency and increases the speed of work. But you need to use this mode only when sawing "in a straight line", otherwise the risk of damage to the work surface increases.

As consumables, all kinds of saw blades are attached to electric jigsaws, thanks to which you can choose the optimal accuracy and cleanliness of the cut, as well as achieve maximum speed.

The electric jigsaw is slightly inferior to the manual version of itself - in the manual, the minimum bending radius of the cut line is smaller, which allows you to perform more accurate work.

In general, working with an electric jigsaw is an occupation for the patient and requires great endurance, accuracy and painstaking work.

What you need to know when choosing

• The harder the material, the lower the speed;
• For acceleration, use the pendulum stroke (for soft materials);
• For “curly cutting” and clean cutting of hard materials, a pendulum stroke is not needed;
• The higher the speed, the more often it is necessary to take breaks to “rest” the tool.

Electric circular saw

It is also called a circular saw, in the common people - a circular saw. The main task of the electric saw is a straight cut of wood. For example, if you want to "dissolve" the board lengthwise into two parts.

Installing the desired blade achieves the required depth of cut. A modification of the saw with a submersible mechanism will allow you to start cutting not from the edge of the product, but from the middle. Also provides for the tilt of the saw blade.

The electric saw will not cope with a curly cut, but it can boast of power and speed.

What you need to know when choosing

• For large volumes of work, choose a model with more power: it will save a lot of time;
• Pay attention to the characteristic of the maximum depth of cut;
• Additional "chips", such as a speed controller, soft start and overheating protection will make the work more comfortable;
• Select the most suitable saw blade for wood of a given hardness.

Belt sander

This type of grinder is used for rough grinding. Used for rough surfaces, or for removing paint, allows you to remove a fairly thick layer of wood. After the belt, it is necessary to process the surface with an orbital or eccentric sander for more precise processing.

What you need to know when choosing

• Grinding is a tedious and dreary process, and often in an uncomfortable position. A more powerful apparatus will slightly reduce the torment;
• But do not overdo it: inept hands will easily make dents in the tree, which will take considerable time to correct;

Surface grinder

It is also called vibrational.

It is used for finishing the wood, after the tape has passed over it. Also used for polishing.

What you need to know when choosing

• The parameter "amplitude of motion" is responsible for the speed of work, but with its high rate, the result of the work will lose in jewelry;
• The ability to control the oscillation frequency will allow you to select the desired mode for any type of surface;

random orbital sander

Also known as orbital.

For finishing and polishing, very handy when dealing with cast products.

The principle of choice is similar to the choice of a surface grinder,

What you need to know when choosing

The sanding process is one of those woodworking operations that takes a long time, so be patient and also wear a protective mask, because there will be a lot of dust.

electric planer

The main task is to plan. Can also be used for trimming boards and trimming.

What you need to know when choosing

electric hacksaw

Also known as a reciprocating saw, and colloquially referred to as an "alligator saw"

According to the principle of operation, it completely repeats the classic hand saw, only the reciprocating motion is given by electrical energy, and not by your hand.

Unlike a circular saw, a reciprocating saw is dirtier, slower and rougher, but safer to work with. However, the alligator also has advantages: the depth of cut, which is limited only by the length of the saw blade (and they are interchangeable, so you can always find consumables for any task in the store), and the ability to work in hard-to-reach places.

What you need to know when choosing

• The parameter for adjusting the speed of the web will allow you to choose the optimal mode based on the stiffness of the wood;
• The higher the power, the faster you will finish the task;
• The longer the canvas, the thicker the thickness of the board can be swung.

Frazier

As the name implies, it is needed for milling, namely chamfering, quartering and cutting grooves and slots.

What to look out for

All the tools collected here are most often suitable not only for woodworking operations, but also for working with other materials: plastic, metal, plywood. You just need to choose the right consumable.

grinding

Festool presents sanders for working on all surfaces (stone, metal, wood, plastic, etc.). High stock removal rate or particularly fine sanding pattern on the machined surface. Just choose the right tool for the jobs you do most often.

People learned to process a tree many millennia ago. In the beginning, for obvious reasons, everything was done by hand. Today there are a large number of power tools, but manual devices have not been forgotten. A woodworking tool is a must for carpenters, joiners and anyone who decides to make something with their own hands.

Variety of tools

Wood processing is understood as a large number of operations, and each of them requires its own tools. A tree can be sawn, drilled, planed, cut out of it objects of a simple or intricate shape. The totality of all tools is divided into two groups:

• manual;
• electrical.

In addition, they are divided into professional, amateur and related to the intermediate category. At home, it is most convenient to perform woodworking with amateur or semi-professional tools. In addition, their price is significantly less than professional ones.

Hand tool

Hand tools are those tools that involve the physical strength of a person. Since woodworking was done at a time when no one knew about electricity, all manipulations with wood can be done manually.

One of the most ancient in origin is considered. It is still used at home - in many private households one cannot do without an ax.

power tool

Electrical devices are easier to use. They allow you to do the job several times faster and with less effort. Power tools for woodworking at home produce mains-operated and battery-powered. When buying such units, you need to pay attention to their power, service guarantee and basic features. The priority should be those functions that you plan to use most often.

It is worth noting that the power tool can also be manual or stationary. Hand-held power tools for woodworking can be carried, carry out work, holding it in your hands. In the second case, the tool is fixed, human intervention is minimal, often it is, which can be slotting, milling,.

Tools for sawing wood

You can cut wood or materials made from it with several types of tools:

• saw;

All of them are manual and electric. The hacksaw is ideal for garden work, sawing not too thick females, boards, blanks for carpentry.

With constant sawing of wood at home, it is simply necessary to have a (circular). Curly cuts cannot be made with it, but it cuts boards, plywood, and some types of plastic as quickly as possible.

If it is necessary to saw trees, to harvest firewood, then in this case chain saws are used. There are also hand saws for logging, you need to work with them together.

Jigsaw cut out shapes of arbitrary shape. It is suitable for cutting blanks of layouts, art panels, various crafts, furniture parts, kitchen appliances.

Axes and cleavers for splitting

From time immemorial, carpentry work was performed with axes. They cut logs, made windows, doors, with their help erected log cabins. Axes and cleavers are needed to split logs into firewood. An ax of a certain kind is a military weapon.

Note! Splitting tools differ in size, shape of the metal part and the handle, which is made of wood or fiberglass.

Today, electric splitters (wood splitters) are produced, with which you can quickly chop logs of a certain length and diameter. Their cost is two orders of magnitude higher than conventional high-quality axes.

Planers for planing

Wood must be planed with a planer. It removes a thin layer of chips, allowing you to get a smooth smooth surface. Neither a carpenter nor a carpenter can do without a planer. They are used by masters of musical instruments, furniture, dolls, kitchen utensils and much more.

Advice! When choosing an electric planer, pay attention primarily to its power, blade width and planing depth, declared by the manufacturer.

It's nice to have a whole set of planers, in extreme cases, at least one universal one. As you master the work of a carpenter or joiner, you will need other types of planer.

For rough planing, a bear is used, for finishing, a jointer or semi-joiner is suitable, the selection of tongues and grooves is carried out with a groove (tongue). There is also a scraper, calving and many other highly specialized planing tools.

Grinding and roughing tools

To make a tree perfectly smooth, you need. Small figurines and details made of wood are sanded by hand with sandpaper, sandpaper, making monotonous mechanical movements.

To smooth the edges, the ends of the products, rasps are used. These are special files for wood with a large notch.

For large areas, electric woodworking machines are used, these include:

• grinders with grinding nozzles;
• belt grinders;
• eccentric (orbital);
• surface grinding (vibration).

The belt tool is more suitable for rough sanding, removing a thick layer of paint or leveling the surface. Finer grinding is carried out with eccentric and surface grinding units.

Chisels and chisels for chiseling

Spikes and grooves in wood to connect parts are made with chisels and a chisel. This is a hand tool. To gouge a deep and fairly wide nest or eye, a chisel is used. The working part of the chisel is a steel bar sharply sharpened on one side.

Shallow holes are hollowed out with a chisel, the surface of the wood is cleaned, and parts are adjusted. The blade shape of the chisel can be flat or semi-circular.

Before starting work, markup is applied to the part, then it is firmly fixed in a clamp on a workbench and they begin to gouge. The fibers are hemmed at an angle of 45–60°, deepened each time by 4–5 mm, the chips are immediately removed.

Drilling tools

Hand drills, rotators, borers are necessary for drilling holes. It is much easier to carry out woodworking with an electric drill. It will require special nozzles.

There are a large number of types of nozzles, among them are countersink, center (perk), spiral, screw. The drill can drill holes for bolts, spikes and other types of connections. By selecting the nozzle of the desired shape, you can expand the range of work performed.

Frazier

One of the important electric tools for woodworking at home is a hand router. They grind the edge, making it rounded, figured, cut grooves, drill holes. They produce various types of milling machines with a wide and narrow spectrum of action. They differ in power, cutter shank diameter, maximum rotation speed. In addition to wood, drywall, plastic, and acrylic are processed with a milling cutter.

Workplace and accessories

Carrying out woodworking work at home, it will not be possible to do without clamps. They help to fix the parts one by one and among themselves when cutting, gouging, drilling, gluing.

Other important tools in woodworking are pliers and nail pullers. They pull nails out of wood, as well as other foreign objects.

In the process of woodworking, it is important to properly prepare the workplace. Required for locksmith work. First of all, this is a table at which it is convenient to perform various manipulations. The workbench also contains useful tools:

• front and rear screw clamps for fixing workpieces;
• holes for wedges against which the workpiece rests;
• tray for storing carpentry tools.

A rack is often installed near the workbench, where the necessary fixtures, materials, and templates are stored. You need a comfortable chair. It is also necessary to take care of the socket for connecting power tools and high-quality lighting.

Additional devices that any master should always have include rulers, protractors, levels, squares. Most likely, you will need consumables (sandpaper, files, circles). Since a full production cycle is usually established in a home workshop, it is necessary to allocate space for varnish, paints, and brushes.

All tools must be in good working order. If a breakdown occurs, then they are restored as soon as possible or removed to a place where they will not interfere.

Tools and fixtures for woodworking that you need to have at hand at home, as well as their purpose.

Recently, do-it-yourself wood products have become very much appreciated. All because such a product will be unique, and will not be repeated. In order to process wood, you need to have tools that are designed specifically for such work.

In home use, for those who are not professionally engaged in woodworking, and in small quantities, hand carpentry tools can be used. Such tools have an affordable price, they will always come in handy on the farm.

Hand tools for woodworking

The ax is one of the most common and well-known woodworking tools. It is used for chopping, splitting, and wood cutting. It comes in different modifications and sizes, depending on the type of work.

• Hacksaw- helps to manually cut the product. There are universal ones, they work in all directions, but slowly. There are also hacksaws for longitudinal and transverse sawing, it all depends on which direction the wood fibers are directed. They are distinguished by the shape of the teeth.
• Bit- used to make a hole in a tree.
• Chisel- used after the robot is finished with a chisel, for stripping.
• Nail puller- helps to get rid of nails in an undesirable place.
• hand drill- used for drilling, holes of different sizes.
• Clamp- will help fix the part in the workplace, it is also used at the time of gluing or drilling products.
• miter box- used when it is necessary to cut a part at an oblique or right angle.
• Ticks- used for auxiliary work, or when you need to pull out small nails.
• Workbench is a sturdy and large table that helps make woodworking easier, as it has fasteners that will hold the products during processing.

We examined hand tools that will help in woodworking, they can also include: a tape measure, a folding rule and a screwdriver.

Now consider mechanized tools. They cost several times more than manual ones, they are most often used for bulk work, they are mainly found in factories, or among people who are professionally engaged in woodworking activities.

Electric woodworking tools

1. electric planer- used for planing wood. With it, the surface will very quickly become smooth and ready for further work. Takes less time than a hand planer.
2. Circular saws- help to cut the product into blanks evenly.
3. Electric drill- used to drill a hole of the desired size.
4. screwdriver- it is convenient to use not only because it tightens screws, but especially because it unscrews them. That helps to save both time and effort of the employee.
5. Electric jigsaw– indispensable in the household, with the help of it you can perform figured and directional cutting of materials such as wood, plastic, laminate and other materials.

When buying carpentry tools, you should pay special attention to the quality of the goods, as well as to the manufacturer's company, you should not buy very expensive tools, but also try to avoid cheap ones.
