What is a Wood Planer?

January 07, 2018 Hand Tools , 0 Comments
Wood Planer

A wood planer is a woodworking tool, which can be used for producing boards of even thickness that also needs to be totally flat on either side. While the traditional wood planer was more of a handheld tool, the modern power planers come with a planing platform for quick and accurate thickness adjustments and can be controlled either manually or electronically.

Hammer And Their Types

January 05, 2018 Hand Tools , Striking Tools 0 Comments
It is a tool used for hitting or beating a job (thing). It has a heavy head mounted at right angles at the end of a handle. Traditionally handle were made of wood fixed through a hole in the head; this allowed the handle to be easily replaced if required.
A wide range of Hammers are available in varying shapes, size and weight. The different styles have different uses. One or two types are commonly available in every house.

 1.               Ball Peen Hammer :


It is rounded and is usually used for shaping metal and closing rivets. Ball peen hammers are available from 55 - 1100 (4 oz up to 2 lb.), 110 - 165g (8oz 12oz). These are mostly used for general applications. Handles are normally made by wood, usually Ash or Hickory.

 2.               Sledge Hammer :


This type of hammer is used for heavier jobs, such as driving in stakes or to break up concrete, stone or masonry. For lighter jobs just the weight of the head may be used for blow's, but for heavier work, the hammer is swung like an axe. Wear suitable protective clothing, including safety glasses. Weights 7, 10 and 14 lb are commonly used and available in markets.

 3.               Club Hammer :


Sometimes called a Lump Hammer, it has a double faced head, and is very useful for light demolition work, driving steel chisels and masonry nails. Weight 1135 g (2 1/2 lb) being commonly available. Handles are normally of wood, usually Hickory, or synthetic resin. As debris is likely to fly, the wearing of safety glasses and working gloves is recommended.

 4.               Claw Hammer :


It is the most popular hammer used for general work and available with a wood handle (often hickory) or steel handle with or without rubber grip. 455-680g (16 to 24oz) these mentioned weight are most popular and commonly available in markets. The claw is normally curved shape, and incorporates a 'V' cut-out to draw nails from timber. The claw is used to lever up floorboards or where other places where a lever is required. Care must be taken especially when using cheaper models as applied force can easily weaken the joint between the handle and the head.

 5.               Cross Peen Pin Hammer :



It is a lighter version of the Cross and Straight Pein hammer and ideal for light cabinet and Joinery works. Weight 55g (4oz) are commonly available as per requirement.

 6.               Cross Peen Straight Hammer :


It is mainly used for shaping metal, the pein can be at right angles to the handle or parallel with it. The most useful domestically is the cross pein and it can be used for starting panel pins and tacks. 

 7.               Soft Faced Hammer :


Many types are available with hard and soft rubber, plastic or copper faces. Some are available with a choice of faces which are interchangeable. Useful for striking materials such as chrome wing outs, where a steel face would cause indentation, dent or damage. In some cases, can replace a mallet for cabinet work or mechanical work (Engine rebuild) etc.

 8.               Joiner’s Mallet :




The joiner’s mallet is characterized by two slightly angled flat faces and a large head. There are different sizes, but are usually quite large. They are excellent for heavy chisel work, where both power and precision are required. The flat faces provide you great accuracy, while the heft provides power.

The handle fits through a wedged mortise, so that either can be replaced. The centrifugal force from using the mallet keeps the handle tight in the head.

Chisel and Their Types

July 09, 2017 Hand Tools , Striking Tools 0 Comments
Chisel is used to driven into the material to remove unwanted timber. Force to chisel is applied by mallet. Chisel contains a Chamfered blade on the end which is used for driven it into the material.

1.               Farming Chisel:

Framing Chisel

A framing chisel is a wider, longer and thicker-bladed firmer chisel. These chisels are available with beveled and straight edges and are more commonly found with sockets and sturdy capped handles to withstand repeated strikes from a mallet. They typically have a cutting edge of between 25 and 30 degrees. These are very used in boat building and timber framing applications.

2.               Corner Chisel :


Corner chisels have a medium length blade and has a cross-section shaped like a right-angled "V". These types of chisel are used for cutting grooves and tidying up square corners.

3.               Paring Chisel:
Paring Chisel

Paring chisels have a long thin blade which is connected to its handle via a tang. They are designed to be manipulated by hand (never struck) and pushed across a work surface to remove small amounts of wood when finishing or neatening up joints. Their cutting edge is usually at an angle between 20 and 25 degrees and they are available with both beveled and straight edges.

4.               Butt Chisel:

Butt Chisel

Butt chisels are so named because of their primary use i.e. installing butts and hinges to doors. They are easily recognized by the distinctive shortness of their blade. A butt chisel may have been a bench or firmer chisel that has been resharpened so much that only a few inches of its blade remains. Carpenters found these shorter chisels so useful with certain uses that they manufactured in their own right. There are both bevel-edged and straight-edged varieties.

5.               Bench Chisel:

Bench Chisel

Bench chisels are the all-rounders of the family. It is general-purpose chisel. They consist of a medium length blade with either beveled or straight edges (ones with beveled edges tend to be more common as they have a wider range of applications) and have an impact-resistant handle. Bench chisels may have a tang- or socket-style fitting and usually have a cutting edge angled between 25 and 30 degrees.

6.               Firmer Chisel:

Firmer Chisel

Firmer meant any chisel blade that was made from a solid steel construction, as opposed to a steel laminate (iron with a steel coating). These chisels had square edges and hardwood handles. These chisels were used for heavy-duty woodworking tasks.
In later years, as nearly all chisel blades were manufactured from a solid steel construction, the definition "firmer" became synonymous with a flat blade with square edges (without a bevel). This is generally considered the oldest type of modern chisel and it is particularly adept at creating joints where you need to maintain sharp, 90-degree corners.

7.               Dovetail Chisel:

Dovetail Chisel

Dovetail chisels are designed specially for the finishing of dovetail joints. They have a long thin blade with beveled edges and a honed cutting edge of between 20 and 30 degrees. These types of chisel are very useful when cleaning out and sharpening up the edges of the interlocking parts of a dovetail joint.

8.               Mortise Chisel:

Mortise Chisel


A mortise chisel contains a thick blade that is designed to withstand prying. They get their name because they are chiefly used to cut mortise joints. They are typically capped or have a steel hoop on their handle to withstand repeated mallet blows. The cutting edge of a mortise chisel is commonly ground to an angle between 30 and 40 degrees.
9.               Chisel With Cranked Handle:




Some chisels have a cranked handle. This means that the handle is offset from the line of the blade. This offset angle allows you to hold the entire blade flat on a work surface without your fingers getting in the way.
