People learned how to process wood many millennia ago. In the beginning, for obvious reasons, everything was done by hand. Today there are a large number of power tools, but hand tools have not been forgotten either. Woodworking tools are essential 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. The tree can be sawn, drilled, planed, cut out objects of 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 intermediate categories. At home, it is most convenient to carry out 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 use the physical strength of a person. Since woodworking was carried out at a time when no one knew about electricity, all manipulations with wood can be performed manually.

It is considered one of the most ancient in origin. 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 complete the job several times faster and with less effort. Power tools for woodworking at home are produced from the network and on batteries. When buying such units, you need to pay attention to their power, service guarantee and basic capabilities. Priority should be given to those features that you plan to use most often.

It is worth noting that the power tool can also be hand-held or stationary. Hand-held power tools for wood processing 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,.

Wood sawing tools

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

• saw;

They are all manual and electric. The hacksaw is ideal for garden work, it is used to cut not too thick bitches, boards, blanks for carpentry work.

With constant sawing of wood at home, you just need to have (circular). It cannot make curly cuts, but it cuts boards, plywood, and some types of plastic as quickly as possible.

If you need to cut trees, prepare firewood, then chain saws are used. There are also hand saws for logging, you have to work with them together.

Freeform figures are cut with a jigsaw. It is suitable for cutting out blanks of models, art panels, various crafts, furniture parts, kitchen appliances.

Axes and cleavers for splitting

From time immemorial, carpentry works have been carried out with axes. They were used to cut logs, make windows, doors, and use them to erect log cabins. Axes and cleavers are needed to split logs into firewood. A certain type of ax is a combat weapon.

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

Today, electric cleavers (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 ordinary quality axes.

Planers for planing

It is necessary to plan wood with a plane. It removes a thin layer of chips for an even, smooth surface. Neither a joiner nor a carpenter can do without a plane. They are used by masters of musical instruments, furniture, dolls, kitchen utensils and much more.

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

It is not bad to have a whole set of planers, at least one universal in extreme cases. As you master the work of a carpenter or joiner, there will be a need for other types of planer.

For rough planing, a bear is used; for finishing, a jointer or semi-jointer is suitable, the tongue and groove are sampled with a groove (tongue). There is also a scraper, kalevka and many other highly specialized tools for planing.

Grinding and Roughing Tools

To make the tree perfectly smooth, it is necessary. Small figures and details made of wood are sanded by hand with sanding paper, sandpaper, performing monotonous mechanical movements.

Rasps are used to smooth the edges and ends of the products. These are special files for coarsely cut wood.

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

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

The band tool is more suitable for rough sanding, removing thick paint or smoothing the surface. Thinner grinding is carried out with eccentric and surface grinding units.

Chisels and chisels for chiselling

Spikes and grooves in the wood for connecting parts are made with chisels and a chisel. This is a hand tool. A chisel is used to gouge a deep and wide enough socket or eyelet. The working part of the bit is a steel bar sharply sharpened on one side.

Shallow holes are gouged with a chisel, the surface of the wood is cleaned, and the parts are adjusted. The shape of the chisel blade can be flat or semicircular.

Before starting work, markings are applied to the part, then it is firmly fixed in a clamp on a workbench and begins to hollow out. The fibers are cut at an angle of 45-60 °, each time deepened by 4-5 mm, the chips are immediately removed.

Drilling tools

Hand drills, bracers, augers are necessary for drilling holes. It is much easier to carry out woodworking with an electric drill. You will need special attachments for it.

There are a large number of types of nozzles, including countersink, center (feathers), spiral, screw. The drill can be used to drill holes for bolts, studs and other types of connections. By choosing a nozzle of the desired shape, you can expand the range of work performed.

Fraser

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

Workplace and accessories

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

• 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, templates are stored. You will need a comfortable chair. It is also necessary to take care of the socket for connecting the power tool and quality lighting.

Additional accessories, which should always be available from any master, include rulers, protractors, levels, squares. Most likely, you will need consumables (sandpaper, files, circles). Since a home workshop usually has a full production cycle, it is necessary to allocate space for varnish, paints, brushes.

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

Wood is a versatile material used in construction and installation works in various directions, as well as in the manufacture of furniture and items for various purposes.
