Choosing Woodworking Tools That Work For You
The first thing that you need to do when getting started with woodworking is to get some good woodworking tools. There is a variety of tools out there, depending on what you want to do. If you are interested in doing hobby craft type woodworking then you may be looking for woodworking hand tools or more traditional tool options than someone who is looking at building furniture. There are also power tools that can assist in woodworking, depending on the type of work you are doing. Following is a sampling of some of the woodworking tools available and what to look for when choosing them.
Having a solid clamp is one of the most important things for the casual or serious woodworker. The only way to guarantee a solid fit and cut is with a great clamp. Without being able to hold your wood in place, the products you make will suffer. There are many woodworking clamps out there to choose from so selecting the right one is important. There are a number of clamps used to squeeze pieces of wood together, particularly during assembly and gluing. Bar clamps consists of two jaws mounted on a length of steel bar, usually I-shaped in section. A pipe clamp is similar except that it substitutes a pipe for the I-bar and is less ridged.
Probably the most useful, and maybe the most expensive, tool you need is a solid table saw. The best of the bunch right now is probably the Powermatic PM2000. This table saw is the best selling item that Powermatic has in its lineup, and this is with good reason. When you think of table saws, you generally imagine something that is big and heavy. For this, the PM2000 delivers. It is constructed of strong cast iron and all the component pieces come from either cast iron or forged steel, giving the PM2000 a rugged look and strong feel. Powermatic did not do anything on this unit cheaply and it feels like a true working man's machine. In operation, it is incredibly stable and easily adjustable and will be able to perform any task you put in front of it.
Always purchase a good set of wooden-handled bench chisels (one-quarter, three-quarter and one inch) and a quarter inch mortise chisel. Wooden handles are more comfortable and more visually appealing than plastic and if they ever split or get chipped you can replace them with little effort. Western chisels are preferred to the Japanese chisels, which some say requires too much work, especially if you’re just getting started in woodworking. If you can afford it, buy a two inch wide bench chisel in addition to the four smaller ones. Its extra-wide blade is ideal for paring tenons.
An eight inch dovetail saw with a turned handle and eighteen teeth per inch is used for cutting small pieces. A ten inch brass-backed dovetail saw with fourteen teeth per inch will cut dovetails and tenons. Japanese saws will also do a great job; however, they can require delicate handling and replacement blades are often expensive.
Many of the kinds of woodworking that can be done at home or with a small workshop are going to include both power tools and hand tools. This permits for ease of use in larger projects as well as for the rough start, detail and finish work. The kind of woodworking tools you use will be determined by the kind of work you are doing and the space you have on hand.
