What are the basic woodworking tools?

There is a long list of tools for woodworking. There is practically a tool for almost every task. To do any carpentry work, whether professionally or at home, it is essential to have the correct carpenter tools to do the job accurately and efficiently.

These must-have tools can be grouped into two categories: hand woodworking tools  (those that require manual action and our own strength), and power woodworking tools.

Hand carpentry tools

Carpenter's pencil

You will need a pencil to mark where to cut, where to nail, draw yourself a sketch ... don't forget!

Tape measure or tape measure

In any woodworking project, measurement is a very important step, since any variation will affect the final result. It is essential to have a precision tape measure and measure thoroughly. Taking the correct measurements is key to a perfect carpentry job.

Square and bevel protractor

A square will help you draw angles and check the degrees of the edges. The best squares for carpenters are the metal squares.

Level

To carry out carpentry projects it is also important to work with a good spirit level to verify the horizontality and verticality of the pieces of wood.

Chisel

Steel chisels are tools used by all carpenters, as they allow carving or cutting wood with clean cuts. They are a precise hammer blow drill and are used for carving wood, cleaning joints, or saw cuts.

Find a chisel that fits the size of your hand to make it more comfortable to handle. You will also need to keep it sharp and greased to keep it longer. We recommend chisels with a wooden handle covered with metal, for better resistance to hammering.

Hammer

This tool is vital as it is used for many tasks, such as nailing, striking, and adjusting. Choose a hammer that is powerful and light enough to be able to work without physically wearing you down.

Hand saw

Despite the existence of electric saws, in carpentry, the hand saw is still essential for working with wood, as it allows control of the cut. Both types of saw complement each other, so it would be advisable to have one of each. There are projects that require the patience and precision of a hand saw and others that require the cleanliness of the cut of an electric saw.

Files / Sandpaper

Files, as well as sandpaper, are tools in charge of removing impurities to give a final finish to the piece of wood.

Sergeants

Clamps are essential tools to hold pieces of wood so you can cut or file comfortably. There are sergeants of various sizes and you will have to adapt them to your project.

Workbench

A bench or work table is very useful to be able to support the piece of wood while you work. It will be easier for you to cut, drill, assemble, and sand. Some woodworking workbenches come with clamps so you can adjust the piece of wood.

Chisel

Chisels are used to make holes in wood and are similar to a corkscrew. Most people use power drills, but in the case of no power, a chisel will help you get out of the way. Also, thanks to the ability to control the force manually, they are very useful for precise and delicate work.

Rasps

Rasps are the tools used to scrape and smooth wood. They are used to remove the remains of sawdust.

Electric woodworking tools:

Obviously, although carpentry is a very artisan work, today there are power tools for wood that will make your life much easier.

Sander

Electric sanders are other essential tools for a carpenter. You will be able to smooth the surfaces and improve the final result of the wood that is being worked. They are also key for restoration projects to prepare a varnished surface.

Circular saw

The circular saw is a very versatile woodworking tool and has different cutting discs with more or fewer teeth. The cutting disc you use will depend on the type of work you are going to do.

Nail gun

If you want to be able to drive nails quickly and efficiently, a nail gun will save you a lot of time. If you are going to give it intensive and professional work, you will need a powerful nail gun.

Drill

The drill needs no introduction. It is an electrical carpentry tool that you must have at home, whether for large DIY projects or to hang a picture. You can drill the wood with different types of drill bits and diameters. Corded power drills are often more powerful and cheaper than cordless drills.

How many types of hand tools are there

 What are the tools? 

Tools are objects or instruments that are created with the purpose of facilitating the tasks that we carry out on a daily basis, be it tightening a screw, a nut, cutting cables, cutting wood, or metal, among many other things. 

Types of hand tools 

Because these instruments facilitate daily tasks, there is a great variety and different types, Each tool can be classified either by manual, semi-automatic or automatic use, by its operation and construction, electrical, mechanical or electromechanical, or by its use, measuring, cutting, clamping, hitting, etc.

Typically creating a hand tools list covers a wide range of functional and work accessories. Personally, I think that the work tools are infinite due to their functions and importance of each one. In short, creating a list of basic, manual and/or advanced hand tools can literally take a lifetime. Since as I said it is infinite.

Below you will see a list and types of hand tools with their names , function, category and importance. And also a brief description of each working tool. But this is not a definitive list. If you want to create your own list of tools or hand accessories, you must create it yourself. Depending on which artifact is most useful to you. Choose which ones are most relevant and what you will need them for. This guide does not have a relevant order. 

Manual tools

These tools are those where the operator has to carry out the work manually, such as a saw is used to cut a piece of wood and the person has to apply his own force and repetitive movements to one side and to the other to split the wood and finish the job.

Semi-automatic tools

Within this category we can find tools in which a repetitive movement is performed by a mechanism with the help of electricity for example: to cut a piece of wood there is an instrument that prevents the operator from making the repetitive movement of moving to one side and towards the other, the only thing that has to be done is to guide this tool and the extra thing is done alone.

Automatic tools

All the elements in this category could be considered as machine tools since they are more complex instruments where we can find an infinity of mechanisms and they all move with the help of electricity. These tools do the job automatically without the need for any operator, for example: To cut a piece of wood we could use a CNC in which once it is programmed we can cut the infinity of pieces automatically without the intervention of no operator. (We will deal with these machine tools in another article due to their great variety).
