Electrical devices are used at all stages of working with wood.
The industry produces electric chain and circular saws, as well as jigsaws used for sawing lumber. various types. Electric planers and drills are used for planing and drilling.
For the convenience of working with an electric hand tool, models are available that operate on batteries, which allows you to be more mobile when working with their use. Screwdrivers are such tools.
Sometimes milling and engraving machines for wood are used for wood processing; these units are distinguished by high productivity and precision in machining parts. Such machines are often used in production, as their cost is quite high, but depending on the model, they are also used at home.
Workplace for wood processing
The basis of the workplace for wood processing at home or in the conditions industrial production, is a workbench.
A carpenter's workbench is a working table on which wood products and blanks are processed, equipped with special devices that simplify work with the material used (front and rear clamps, tray, holes for wedges).
In addition to the workbench workplace should be equipped with a chair, racks and drawers for storing tools, workpieces and raw materials.
In addition to hand and electric tools, there should be a measuring tool at the workplace - rulers, squares, compasses, protractors, etc. Various devices, including a miter box that serves to evenly cut the material at a right or other specific angle, as well as a building level and plumb.
The workplace must be illuminated, its illumination must meet the requirements for the class of visual work performed in the plane of the workbench, be uniform and intense.
Equipment and tools must be in good working order, and in the case of using electric models, they must be grounded.
General requirements for the organization of the workplace are:
- Equipment, materials and tools should be located in such a way that during work there is no need to perform unproductive movements, and the posture of the worker would be correct, not causing fatigue and overstrain.
- The workbench must be firmly fixed to the floor surface.
- Illumination in all areas (working, storage, transportation) must comply with the requirements of regulatory documents.
- Color of walls and other elements building structures, as well as equipment and tools, should not cause fatigue and fatigue of the worker, but rather contribute to his performance.

People learned to process a tree 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. A woodworking tool is a must 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. A tree can be sawn, drilled, planed, cut out of it objects of a 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 related to the intermediate category. At home, it is most convenient to perform 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 involve the physical strength of a person. Since woodworking was done at a time when no one knew about electricity, all manipulations with wood can be done manually.
One of the most ancient in origin is considered. 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 do the job several times faster and with less effort. Power tools for woodworking at home produce mains-operated and battery-powered. When buying such units, you need to pay attention to their power, service guarantee and basic features. The priority should be those functions that you plan to use most often.
It is worth noting that the power tool can also be manual or stationary. Hand-held power tools for woodworking 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,.
Tools for sawing wood
You can cut wood or materials made from it with several types of tools:
- saw;
All of them are manual and electric. The hacksaw is perfect for garden work, not too thick bitches, boards, blanks for carpentry work are sawn with it.
With constant sawing of wood at home, it is simply necessary to have a (circular). Curly cuts cannot be made with it, but it cuts boards, plywood, and some types of plastic as quickly as possible.
If it is necessary to saw trees, to harvest firewood, then in this case chain saws are used. There are also hand saws for logging, they need to work together.
Jigsaw cut out shapes of arbitrary shape. It is suitable for cutting blanks of layouts, art panels, various crafts, furniture parts, kitchen appliances.
Axes and cleavers for splitting
From time immemorial, carpentry work was performed with axes. They cut logs, made windows, doors, with their help erected log cabins. Axes and cleavers are needed to split logs into firewood. An ax of a certain kind is a military weapon.
Note! Splitting tools differ in size, shape of the metal part and the handle, which is made of wood or fiberglass.
Today, electric splitters (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 conventional high-quality axes.
Planers for planing
Wood must be planed with a planer. It removes a thin layer of chips, allowing you to get a smooth smooth surface. Neither a carpenter nor a carpenter can do without a planer. Used by masters musical instruments, furniture, dolls, kitchen utensils and much more.
Advice! When choosing an electric planer, pay attention primarily to its power, blade width and planing depth, declared by the manufacturer.
It's nice to have a whole set of planers, in last resort at least one is universal. As you master the work of a carpenter or joiner, you will need other types of planer.
For rough planing, a bear is used, for finishing, a jointer or semi-joiner is suitable, the selection of tongues and grooves is carried out with a groove (tongue). There is also a scraper, calving and many other highly specialized planing tools.
Grinding and roughing tools
To make a tree perfectly smooth, you need. Small figurines and details made of wood are sanded by hand with sandpaper, sandpaper, making monotonous mechanical movements.
To smooth the edges, the ends of the products, rasps are used. These are special files for wood with a large notch.
For large areas, electric woodworking machines are used, these include:
- grinders with grinding nozzles;
- belt grinders;
- eccentric (orbital);
- surface grinding (vibration).
The belt tool is more suitable for rough sanding, removing a thick layer of paint or leveling the surface. Finer grinding is carried out with eccentric and surface grinding units.
Chisels and chisels for chiseling
Spikes and grooves in wood to connect parts are made with chisels and a chisel. This is a hand tool. To gouge a deep and fairly wide nest or eye, a chisel is used. The working part of the chisel is a steel bar sharply sharpened on one side.
Shallow holes are hollowed out with a chisel, the surface of the wood is cleaned, and parts are adjusted. The blade shape of the chisel can be flat or semi-circular.
Before starting work, markup is applied to the part, then it is firmly fixed in a clamp on a workbench and they begin to gouge. The fibers are hemmed at an angle of 45–60°, deepened each time by 4–5 mm, the chips are immediately removed.
Drilling tools
Hand drills, rotators, borers are necessary for drilling holes. It is much easier to carry out woodworking with an electric drill. It will require special nozzles.
There are a large number of types of nozzles, among them are countersink, center (perk), spiral, screw. The drill can drill holes for bolts, spikes and other types of connections. By selecting the nozzle of the desired shape, you can expand the range of work performed.
Frazier
One of the important electric tools for woodworking at home is a hand router. They grind the edge, making it rounded, figured, cut grooves, drill holes. They produce various types of milling machines with a wide and narrow spectrum of action. They differ in power, cutter shank diameter, top speed rotation. In addition to wood, drywall, plastic, and acrylic are processed with a milling cutter.
Workplace and accessories
Carrying out woodworking work at home, it will not be possible to do without clamps. They help to fix the parts one by one and among themselves when cutting, gouging, drilling, gluing.
One more important tools in woodworking, these are pincers and nail pullers. They pull nails out of wood, as well as other foreign objects.
In the process of woodworking, it is important to properly prepare the workplace. Required for locksmith work. First of all, this is a table at which it is convenient to perform various manipulations. The workbench also contains useful tools:
- front and rear screw clamps for fixing workpieces;
- 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, and templates are stored. You need a comfortable chair. It is also necessary to take care of the socket for connecting power tools and high-quality lighting.
Additional devices that any master should always have include rulers, protractors, levels, squares. Most likely it will be required consumable(sandpaper, files, circles). Since a full production cycle is usually established in a home workshop, it is necessary to allocate space for varnish, paints, and brushes.
All tools must be in good working order. If a breakdown occurs, then they are restored as soon as possible or removed to a place where they will not interfere.
