Basic Tools Necessary For Woodshop Projects

By Kerri Stout


There are many tasks that are given to children these days while they are in school. Out of the many homework they have to complete especially during summer break, one of them is woodwork. They will be tasked to show off their skills with their own woodshop projects. To make the said project, they have to get the following tools for themselves.

Circular saw. While some people think of this as more of a carpentry tool than a woodworking tool, that is truly not the case. Even in this kind of project, you can still make use of the circular saw to produce the kind of woodwork that you are aiming for. This handheld power tool is very versatile so it should be easy for you to use it.

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.

There is the jigsaw as well. Of course, this is not in reference to the jigsaw puzzle. This is a power tool, after all. You will need the efficiency and function of the jigsaw power tool to handle the carving of a curved pattern or of a circular pattern into your pieces of stock. For advanced workers, it might be better for them to have a band saw instead of a jigsaw though.

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 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. 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. There are two types of bases for the routers, the stationary one and the plunger one. For beginners, it is highly recommended to make use of the stationary base. This allows you to do a good job with the woodwork.

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.
