A working library, organized by shop workflow
Tools for Woodworking
Explore woodworking tools by the work they help you do, from hand-cut joinery and careful layout to machining, finishing, dust collection, and digital fabrication.
Use the hub to choose a tool family before jumping into a specific guide.
01Hand and non-power tools
Hand and Non-Power Tools
Start with the tools that let you measure, cut, shape, clamp, sharpen, and finish work directly at the bench.
Hand ToolsHand-powered cutting, shaping, boring, and bench work.Measuring, Marking and LayoutTools for dimensions, references, and repeatable layout.Workholding and ClampingClamps, vises, stops, and support for controlled work.Sharpening ToolsStones, guides, powered systems, and saw sharpening tools.Finishing and ApplicationApplicators, spray tools, polishing, veneering, and glue workflow.Workshop and Support ToolsBenches, stands, safety equipment, and shop support.
02Power tools and machinery
Power Tools and Machinery
Move from layout to repeatable cutting, shaping, drilling, sanding, stock preparation, joinery, turning, and carving.
Power ToolsPowered cutting, shaping, stock preparation, joinery, and carving.SawsCut boards, sheet goods, curves, joinery parts, and repeatable lengths.RoutingShape edges, grooves, patterns, mortises, templates, and router-table work.DrillingDrill, drive, countersink, and bore repeatable holes.SandingLevel, smooth, shape, and prepare surfaces for finish.Planers and JointersFlatten, straighten, thickness, and prepare stock.JoineryCut, register, and reinforce wood joints with jigs and machines.Wood TurningTurn spindles, bowls, knobs, vessels, and round components on a lathe.Power CarvingRemove and texture wood with rotary, flex-shaft, grinder, and reciprocating tools.
03Dust and shop systems
Dust and Shop Systems
Find the shop systems that keep chips, fine dust, airflow, and machine cleanup under control.
04Digital fabrication
Digital Fabrication
Use computer-controlled cutting and marking when repeatability, text, templates, or small production runs matter.
