Woodworking equipment is used to carve a piece of wood into the desired shape for your woodworking project.
Some of the most commonly used woodworking machinery include a chainsaw, a biscuit joiner, wood router, and nail gun.
Woodworking machines often have motors powered by electricity and can be fairly dangerous to operate so you had better know what you're doing.
Here is in an overview of some commonly used woodworking machines: Biscuit Joiner - This is also known as a plate joiner is usually used to join together two pieces of wood.
It has a 100mm diameter circular saw that is used to cut semi-circle shaped holes into wood.
Jigsaw - The jigsaw is used to cut fine designs into wood.
These cuts are usually stenciled designs into small pieces of wood.
Nail Gun - Nail guns are used to drive nails into wood.
The nails are driven in by electromagnetism, gases like butane or propane, and compressed air.
Hammers are of course also used, but nail guns are a lot easier to use without injury or flaws.
Wood Router - A wood router is used to hollow out (route out) some area from a piece of wood.
This tool has in modern days been replaced by the spindle tool.
This is an electric powered hand router that does the same thing and is used for carving timber.
It's also used to make grooves, carve edge moulding, and to cut certain kinds of joints.
Sanders - Electric sanders are used to smooth out wood they have an electric motor to spin sandpaper and make rough surfaces smooth.
