See what we have brought: woodworking power tools just for you.

Beginners or Professionals – Do tools vary for them?

If truly a beginner; then you can seek advice from any of the woodworking professionals. Or your best pal-internet. Just type in carpentry tools & equipment, the list finds its way to you! Do these tools vary for beginners or professionals? Not much, only a few specifications may differ. Let’s dive straight into knowing these tools. Both power tools and traditional/conventional hand tools can be still used.

Tools like: Compound Saw, Table Saw, Circular Saw, Hammer/Drill, Sander, Router/Trimmer, Jigsaw either work with electricity or batteries. So, they are called Power tools. They come in both provisions – for residential and industrial activities. Last but not the least; do not forget to add a pair of Measuring Tapes to your tools list.

Woodworking Power Tools List – Brand, Select, Buy

Now that your tools list is ready, there are some more points to be made into consideration.

Which is the best brand?

How to buy them – online or just walk into outlets?

Bosch, DeWalt, Stanley, & HiKOKI - all these companies have manufactured the best power tools. They are now available in the market. The USP may vary for each brand. But, they all serve the purpose well.

Find a retailer's or a dealer’s outlet, walk-in, and check out personally. You can see them physically, and the sales representative might even explain few more details. If you want to save time, then pick up your phone and start looking for it. Screwfix is one of the leading power tools stores. You have options to buy from the outlet or online. Browse through a range of tools, and book them by just visiting the website.

 

Bird’s eye view on DIY woodworking tools

Who knows their tools better – an artisan or a craftsman or a technician? Indeed all of them. Only then they can pick the suitable tool for the job. Likewise, let’s get familiarized with these DIY woodworking tools.

1. Measuring Tapes

 “Measure twice, cut once”- do you remember this old saying? Most of the carpenters or even the tailors teach this to all of their newbies. The actual or perfect measurements at the initial stage will save your material & time. So, what do you need? Indeed, the measuring tapes. Perfect! See, Stanley’s new launch of short tapes – 3m & 5m; that covers your first tool in the checklist.

2. Compound Saw/Mitre Saw

Why this tool plays an important role? Any angled cuts, say like the perfect cut at the edges as seen in a photo frame or the window/door frames, can be done using a compound saw (e.g., C10FCE2). Here, one can select different blades to operate – 10/12/14 inches. There is an option for the angle or bevel cuts – 0 to 45 degrees, 0 to 52 degrees. A dual bevel mitre saw can tilt in both directions – right or left for the specified angle or bevel cuts. The blade guard protects the user. Following the manufacturer’s guidelines will help you further.

3. Table Saw

Another tool that plays a vital role is a Table Saw (GTS 254). If you want to cut, rip, cross-cut or a dado-cut the wood; Table Saw is the ideal tool. As the name goes, all you have to do is just place the material on the machine’s table. Operate it to obtain the desired cuts: width-wise or length-wise. Technically speaking, you may want for ripping (width-wise) or cross-cutting (length-wise) the wood. A 3-sided channel cut is a dado-cut (imagine the alphabet T). You can fix the Table Saw in one place as per the convenience. Portable Table Saw is a good choice.

4. Circular Saw

Hurrah! We are moving at a good pace in knowing the DIY tools. The next is a circular saw. And they differ for varied materials. Say, wood, metal, concrete, and even plastic; all of these can be cut through with a circular sawing machine. As we are crystal clear about using it for wood, let’s see what it can offer us. It lends great support in cutting or slicing long timber/ lumber & plywood.

5. Cordless Drilling Machine

Just cutting the wood as per the requirements – size, length, width, etc., is the most preliminary job apart from measuring the wood. We should now start to make the model or the objects. To do so, start moving ahead. Pick up the wood pieces that have to be joined as per your design. Use a drilling machine (DB3DL2-Cordless Driver Drill) to make holes and tighten them with screws, nuts, or bolts. Select the right drilling bit (of required size) and make perfect holes. Later you can fasten the screws on the wood.

6. Sander

Sanders are used in removing/scraping/abrading the extra wood fibers. This process allows you to give a finishing touch. To do so, pick the Finishing Sander. Some technicians call them Disc Sander/Palm Sanders. Make sure to keep a pair of sanding paper sheets in stock. So, polishing the wood is now simpler.

7. Router/Trimmer

As we move ahead with our discussion, the Router/Trimmer cannot be ignored. This tool paves the way to make grooves, rabbets, profiling edges, making different molding patterns, slots, or trenches, and some time to engrave the patterns on the wood.

8. Jigsaw

If you want to make fine cuts/curves/circles use a Jigsaw. It is different from the circular saw. The jigsaw can be placed anywhere on the wood. It need not be at the starting point like that of a circular saw.

Finally, we have completed our list of beginner or professional woodworking power tools list. But the traditional hand tools like: Panel Saws (for rip or cross-cut), Panes-Jack Block, Rabbet, Hand Saw, Drilling Machine, Chopping Saw, Chisel, and Wooden Joiner’s Mallet are still in vogue.

As we are moving ahead with time, it is always good to keep us open to newer options. Hope this blog helps you to pursue your hobby. It’s always fun in DIY hobbies. If you start, only then you can finish. Go for it!
