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.

Power drill. You can choose between the cordless or corded drill when you are buying the power drill. While it is okay to have the cordless drill, you can say that it is still better to have the corded drill. When you have the corded drill, you have more power to use. It is also versatile when you compare it to the cordless drill.

Jigsaw. This does not refer to the jigsaw puzzle but to the power tool you need in woodworking. Even a beginner should be able to handle the use of the said power tool. With this power tool, you can cut any circular or curved pattern you want in stock. If you are an advanced woodworker, then you can replace the jigsaw with a band saw.

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 sanders are getting more and more popular these days too. You should remember to add this to your arsenal, especially when you plan to make a good job at sanding the wood you have used in your wood work. Do not just rely on the palm sanders. It does not promote a random sanding motion as random orbital sanders do.

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.

When you are using these power tools, it is highly recommended that you do so with extreme care. In fact, you should use it under the supervision of a teacher or a guardian. If you are not careful, you might get injured. It will be bad for you if you do not handle these power tools with extreme care.
