Tools Required For Basic Woodshop Projects

By Kerri Stout


When you have a project at school that requires you to use woods, then you should consider buying the tools that will allow you to effectively carry out your plan. There should be numerous tools that you can take advantage of nowadays to make the work easier. Here are some of the important tools you need to have for your woodshop projects.

First on the list is the circular saw. You have to make sure to have this in your list of power tools if you are going for a wood work. You should not let other people's talk about how this product is a carpentry tool and not a woodworking tool deter you from adding this power tool into your arsenal. It makes the job efficient, after all.

Power drill. If you are choosing the power drill you can use for your project, you can see two types of it in the market. There is the corded drill and the cordless one. For the beginners of woodworking, it is highly suggested to use the corded drill. After all, not only is this versatile but it is also powerful as well.

Jigsaw. Of course, this does not mean the jigsaw puzzle. Rather, it refers to a power tool you must purchase for your woodwork. This is a beginner's alternative to the more advanced power tool that is the band saw. If you have jigsaw, then you can cut out any curved or circular pattern for your pieces of stock easily.

The table saw should be helpful for you as well. When you are already used to wood working, then you should be able to ready yourself for a major purchase. This is an expensive purchase but it should be worth it. The said power tool will be extremely helpful for you when you plan to make lots of wood works in the future.

Random orbital sander. For a beginner, it is necessary to have this power tool if you want to sand down the wood that you are working on. Of course, some people might think that the palm sanders are better but this option just creates a patterned sanding. A random orbital sander sands the wood down in a random motion.

Compound miter saw. It is recommended for a beginner to only purchase a compound miter saw after the purchase of the table saw. The compound miter saw is not expensive so you should be able to purchase it easily. However, it is as important as the table saw. You may cut compound angles in your pieces of stock if you have this.

Router. You should know that routers basically have two types of bases. The first one is the stationary base while the other one is the plunger type. If you are a beginner, then what you should have is the stationary base.

These power tools are very powerful, just as their name suggests. But they can be dangerous as well. Thus, it is recommended that people use these power tools with care. Whether one is an amateur or an experienced worker, use the power tools with care. Otherwise, you will get injured.
