Basic Tools Necessary For Woodshop Projects

By Kerri Stout


It is one of the requirement at school for students to pass their own woodwork. Indeed, this is a task the students have to accomplish usually during summer break as a proof that they have learned something while they are at school. To do the woodshop projects, here are some of the tools that the students must have.

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.

The power drill is also an important one to have in your arsenal. When choosing what type of power drill you will have to purchase, you can pick between the corded drill or the cordless drill. While the cordless drill might be appealing for you, yo should consider having the corded drill because of its versatility and power.

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.

Table saw. If you have already gotten used to woodworking, then you should not forget to prepare for your first major purchase. This first major purchase is the table saw. You will have to spend a considerable amount of money for the purchase of this product. You should be able to make your woodworking easier if you have this product.

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. This should only be purchased if you already have your table saw. It should not be an expensive purchase for you, especially when you compare the cost of this product to the table saw. You can use the compound miter saw in cutting compound angles on the pieces of stocks you have.

The router will be of great help as well. When choosing the router, a person can choose either the stationary base router or the plunger base router. For an amateur in this job, the best option you can choose is definitely the stationary one.

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.
