Wood is the most popular material for the manufacture of a huge number of products; it is used everywhere - from the construction of entire houses and other buildings to the installation of partitions, use as a finishing material, as well as in the manufacture of furniture, door and window blocks and much more.

But in order to carry out all this work, you will need a tool; it is this aspect that our review will be devoted to; we will look at what every home craftsman should have on hand.

What factors should you pay attention to when choosing a tool?

Regardless of what kind of devices you want to purchase, there are a number of criteria that any device of this kind must meet:

Quality of materials The first factor is the quality of the materials used in production; if the tool does not seem to inspire confidence, then questions will most likely arise during operation. This is especially true for hand-held devices, because they work at the expense of your effort - a dull chisel or low-quality hacksaw teeth will significantly reduce labor productivity
Convenience of devices It is very important that the tool fits well in the hand, since prolonged work with an uncomfortable tool will cause increased fatigue and negatively affect the quality of processing. It is best if the products are equipped with anti-slip handles and have an ergonomic shape
Purposes of use If you are going to engage in wood processing constantly, then it is advisable to purchase a power tool; if the work will be periodic, then it is better to pay attention to manual options, their price is much lower

Important! We recommend purchasing products from well-known manufacturers, whose quality is well known in the market, especially when it comes to power tools; nowadays there are a huge number of cheap Asian products on sale, which very often fail.

Types of devices and their features

We will look at those products that are used most often at home; all of them can be divided into two large groups - manual and electric.

Hand tool

The most common options are the following:

  • An ax is necessary for a wide variety of work: chopping, splitting, trimming wood. In the old days, this was the main working tool, in our time it is mainly used for rough processing, however, it is difficult to imagine a carpenter’s or joiner’s set without it.
  • used for sawing elements in different directions. Modifications vary in size and shape of the teeth - there are universal options, and there are hacksaws that are designed for longitudinal or cross cutting. In addition, the size of the tooth matters; the smaller it is, the cleaner the edges, but the speed of work is lower, and the larger it is, the higher the productivity, but the lower the quality.

  • Planers are used for planing surfaces and consist of a body with handles and a cutting part, which is adjusted and sharpened if necessary.. To achieve the best quality work, you need to plane in the direction of the grain of the wood and carefully adjust the position of the blade so that it removes as much as necessary.

  • A chisel is used to gouge holes and other indentations in wood, most often a heavy-duty device with a strong blade and a sturdy handle so that it can be struck with a hammer.
  • For more precise processing, a chisel is used; most often it is advisable to purchase a set of such devices of different widths and configurations. This will allow you to choose the best option for any product - straight, semicircular, concave, etc.

Important! If necessary, you can make chisels yourself; the main thing is to select the appropriate workpiece and sharpen it at an angle of 45 degrees for the best quality of work.

  • In order to cut elements at a certain angle, you need a device such as a miter box. It is a design in which there are slots for a hacksaw, which allows you to maintain the ideal geometry of the edges, which is especially important when connecting elements at different angles.

  • Hand-cranked drills are used for drilling holes.. The configuration of the elements can be different, most often there are classic ones, as well as pen and screw options. For large diameter holes, special crowns are used, which are sold in sets.

In the OBI hypermarket, hand-held woodworking tools and consumables for them can be purchased at prices ranging from 70 to 4,400 rubles per unit (set). The catalog contains about 220 items of these products.

Features of choice

What does a carpenter need?

The profession of a carpenter is not as simple as it might initially seem. The carpenter performs precise work and mistakes are unacceptable here. That is why, when choosing a hand tool, you need to pay attention to its quality - the result of all the work depends on it.

A carpenter uses the following hand tools for carpentry work:

  • measuring;
  • sawing;
  • for planing;
  • drilling

Some jobs will also require auxiliary tools, such as countersinks, grippers, magnetic nail holders, etc.

Woodworking power tools can be classified according to the level and volume of work performed:

  • professional;
  • semi-professional;
  • amateur.

Despite the popularity of polymers and metal in construction due to their practicality, durability and ease of use, wood adds a sense of comfort, coziness and peace of mind to any building, which is why many builders love to work with wood.

Among the woodworking tools there are manual, electric, and also “heavy artillery” - machines. In this article, we will focus on portable power tools for woodworking.

Nowadays, each woodworking operation has its own hand-held power tool; let’s look at them in more detail.

Jigsaw

Suitable for cutting materials of small thickness, but the main functionality of an electric jigsaw is figure cutting. The thin and narrow blade gives flexibility and maneuverability to this hand-held electric tool, allowing you to set the desired direction of the cutting line.

When choosing a jigsaw, pay attention to the presence of a pendulum stroke - this increases its efficiency and increases the speed of work. But this mode should only be used when sawing “straight”, otherwise the risk of damage to the surface being processed increases.

As consumables, jigsaws come with all kinds of saw blades, thanks to which you can choose the optimal accuracy and cleanliness of the cut, as well as achieve maximum operating speed.

The jigsaw is slightly inferior to the manual version - in the manual version, the minimum bending radius of the cut line is smaller, which allows you to perform more precise work.

In general, working with a jigsaw is an activity for the patient and requires a lot of endurance, accuracy and painstakingness.

What you need to know when choosing

  • The harder the material, the lower the speed;
  • To accelerate, use the pendulum stroke (for soft materials);
  • For “shaped cutting” and clean cutting of hard materials, a pendulum stroke is not needed;
  • The higher the speed, the more often it is necessary to take breaks to “rest” the tool.

Electric circular saw

It is also called a circular saw, or a circular saw in common parlance. The main task of an electric saw is straight cutting of wood. For example, if you want to “dissolve” the board lengthwise into two parts.

By installing the required blade, the required depth of cut is achieved. And modifying the saw with a plunge-cut mechanism will allow you to start cutting not from the edge of the product, but from the middle. It will also provide for tilting the saw blade.

An electric saw cannot cope with figured cuts, but it can boast of power and speed.

What you need to know when choosing

  • For large volumes of work, choose a model with more power: it will save a lot of time;
  • Pay attention to the maximum depth of cut specification;
  • Additional features such as speed control, soft start and overheating protection will make work more comfortable;
  • Select the most suitable saw blade for processing wood of a certain hardness.

Belt sander

This type of sander is used for rough grinding. Used for rough surfaces or for removing paint, it allows you to remove a fairly thick layer of wood. After the belt sanding, it is necessary to treat the surface with an orbital or eccentric sander for more precise processing.

What you need to know when choosing

  • Sanding is a tedious and tedious process, often in an awkward position. A more powerful device will reduce the pain a little;
  • But don’t overdo it: unskilled hands can easily make dents in the wood, which will take a lot of time to fix;

Surface grinder

It is also called vibration.

Used for finishing wood after the belt has been passed over it. Also used for polishing.

What you need to know when choosing

  • The “motion amplitude” parameter is responsible for the speed of work, but if it is large, the result of the work will lose its beauty;
  • The ability to regulate the oscillation frequency will allow you to select the desired mode for any type of surface;

Random orbital sander

Also known as orbital.

For finishing and polishing, it is very convenient when dealing with curved products.

The selection principle is similar to choosing a surface grinder,

What you need to know when choosing

  • Power speeds up the process and reduces the precision of carpentry;
  • There is a fastening of sanding sheets of the “clamp” type - the consumables for it are cheaper, while the “Velcro” type is more expensive, but can be removed faster.

    • The sanding process is one of those woodworking operations that takes a long time, so be patient and wear a protective mask as there will be a lot of dust.

    Electric planer

    The main task is to plan. Can also be used for trimming boards and trimming.

    What you need to know when choosing

  • power will speed up work;
  • the width of the sole will allow you to plan wide boards in fewer passes and more evenly;
  • the “processing depth” characteristic will also reduce the number of approaches until the desired result is achieved;
  • two handles on the plane make it more convenient to use;
  • Take a closer look at the bag for collecting shavings - this is an indispensable accessory that will not allow you to drown in shavings.

    • Electric hacksaw

    Also known as a reciprocating saw, and colloquially referred to as an "alligator saw"

    According to the principle of operation, it completely repeats the classic hand hacksaw, only the reciprocating movement is provided by electrical energy, and not by your hand.

    Unlike a circular saw, a reciprocating saw is messier, slower and rougher, but it is safer to work with. However, the alligator also has advantages: the depth of cut, which is limited only by the length of the saw blade (and they are replaceable, so you can always find consumables for any task in the store), and the ability to work in hard-to-reach places.

    What you need to know when choosing

    • The blade speed adjustment parameter will allow you to select the optimal mode based on the hardness of the wood;
    • The higher the power, the faster you will complete the task;
    • The longer the blade, the thicker the board you can reach.

    Fraser

    As the name suggests, it is needed for milling, namely chamfering, cutting quarters and cutting grooves and splines.

    What to pay attention to

  • The high spindle speed allows you to work with hard materials and also makes the work cleaner. Lower frequency – for soft breeds;
  • Adjusting the rotation speed will make the device universal;
  • The presence of a soft start prolongs the life of the electric tool and will not damage the product;
  • When choosing a powerful router, keep in mind that it will add weight: calculate your strength correctly, perhaps a less powerful copy will be enough for the job;

    • All the tools collected here are most often suitable not only for woodworking operations, but also for working with other materials: plastic, metal, plywood. You just need to choose the right consumable.

    Woodworking tools make the work of home DIYers and specialized professionals easier. The tools are divided into three main types: amateur, semi-professional and professional. The offered units are suitable for almost any wood finishing operation.

    Classification

    To simplify working with wood, many different tools have been created, the classification of which is carried out according to various criteria. Devices are mainly divided according to the following parameters:

    • Hand tools.
    • Portable electrical devices.
    • Woodworking machinery.

    Tools for woodworking at home are mainly included in the following list:

    • Axes and saws.
    • Rotator (mechanical drill).
    • Hammer, plane, square,
    • Sets for fine wood finishing (sandpaper, varnish, brush, chisel).

    The set of tools mentioned above is considered the main set with which a lot of DIY operations are performed. Listed below are the features and properties of basic woodworking tools.

    Planer and hacksaw

    A woodworking tool called a plane is designed for planing boards. Using this device, you can level the surface, reduce its thickness, and build recesses of varying depths.

    This instrument has been known for a long time and is constantly being improved. Nowadays, electric models are quite popular, increasing productivity and accuracy of work with less physical effort.

    A saw or hacksaw is a plate with many teeth for cutting various materials with a handle made of wood or polymers. The saw is a metal plate, on the working part of which there are teeth of different sizes and different patterns.

    Chisel, hammer and mallet

    A chisel is one of the main carpentry tools; it is used to create recesses in wood, clean out grooves, and chamfer. The chisel design includes a blade and a handle. Flat modifications have one-sided sharpening; oval models have grooves located on the outside of the blade. When performing work, the chisel is pressed manually, sometimes by tapping the handle with a special hammer (mallet).

    A hammer is used to drive nails into wood and adjust other hand tools. Using a mallet, you can process thin plywood or chipboard. In addition, this device allows you to flatten and bend easily bendable material using the impact method.

    Jigsaw and sandpaper

    Processing wood with hand tools often requires attention and precise calculations. A manual or mechanical model will allow you to carry out manipulations as accurately as possible. The model consists of an arched frame with a handle and clamps for fixing the working blade. It allows you to adjust the direction of the cut. There is a gap between the frame and the canvas, which makes it possible to bypass the edges of the workpiece when working. You can also make a cut along a line inside the workpiece.

    A significant disadvantage of a mechanical jigsaw is the low mechanical strength of the blade and the small size of the frame, due to which the working part can burst, and it is also difficult to cut at a great distance from the edges of the workpiece.

    Sandpaper or sandpaper has different grain sizes and is used for finishing the part. This process allows you to get rid of burrs and gives the product a marketable appearance.

    Mechanized devices

    Electric woodworking tools greatly simplify and speed up the production process. The main mechanized devices include:

    1. Electric planer. Used for planing a wooden surface, quickly making it smooth and ready for further maintenance.
    2. Disc or allows you to qualitatively, smoothly and quickly cut the product in accordance with the required dimensions.
    3. An electric drill is used to drill holes of the required size.
    4. A screwdriver is a device that allows you to quickly screw and unscrew fasteners.

    It is used as a wood tool. With its help you can perform complex work:

    • Making furniture with your own hands.
    • Production of window frames, stairs.
    • Figure processing of a wooden blank.

    Using the device is not difficult, provided that you have some experience and skills in wood processing. An angle or belt sander does an excellent job of finishing. They allow you to penetrate hard-to-reach places.
