There are many factors to consider when shopping for woodworking tools, including budget, workshop space, compatibility with other tools, and safety features, but quality and durability are typically two of the most important key features to look for when it comes to tools. The variety of tools is vast, from traditional hand joinery tools to the latest woodworking power tools. Many tool users typically already own the very basics as part of a general DIY tool set, and the basics are not specifically intended for woodworking.

Saws are perhaps the most essential of woodshop tools. Nothing can be made until the wood is cut. For a beginner woodworking tool setup, this means a choice of miter saws, table saws, bandsaws, jigsaws, and circular saws. Most woodworking enthusiasts will have at least two of these. Once the wood has been sawn, it often needs to be planed to the required size, and then sanded to a smooth finish.

However, doing it well takes time. Power planers and thickness planers do the job much more quickly. Powered hand planers are a motorized version taken to the workpiece. Thickness planers, as the name suggests, quickly reduce the thickness of a board. Power planers are used to true up the side face of a board and the edge.

Combined planers are available, but they tend to be large tools for professional workshops. Powered sanders vary considerably from detail sanders designed to get into small spaces, through light and highly maneuverable palm sanders, to general-purpose random orbital sanders.

The latter is probably the best choice for beginners because of its versatility with both large and relatively small workpieces. Drum and belt sanders are also options, but these are more often found in professional shops or used by trade carpenters. Assembly tools for woodworking are quite basic, but nevertheless important. Below are some of the most common types of assembly tools found in a woodworking shop. Pretty much every home tool set includes a hammer, but the hammer used for putting panel pins into plywood needs to be a lighter tool with a smaller head than the one used for knocking in 6-inch nails.

Power nailers are another consideration. While finish nailers can have applications for woodworking, they are more often used as remodeling or trade carpentry tools.

Drill drivers are part of many DIY tool kits and are another woodworking essential. Screws have more holding power than nails and generally provide a neater and more precise fixing. Pillar drills—freestanding drills—are a valuable addition to higher productivity shops, both amateur and professional.

Most keen woodworkers can never have too many clamps. Four-Stage Orbital Selection delivers high-efficiency cutting for a variety of materials and custom cuts. Choose from five speeds or use auto speed sensing for optimal performance.
