pull nails, is the most common hammer used in woodworking. A hand plane is used to surface aspects of a workpiece. The square is used to mark angles on any workpiece. An adjustable square also includes a ruler. A speed square can mark 90 and 45-degree fixed angles and any angle between 0 and 90 degrees using its long axis. A tape measure is a retractable or flexible ruler that has measurement increments as small as 1/32" or 1 millimetre. Power tools Power tools are tools that are powered by an external energy such as a battery, motor, or a power cable connected to a wall outlet. The more common power tools are: The drill is a tool used to drill a hole or to insert a screw into a workpiece. A palm sander is a small powered sander that uses either a vibration or orbital motion to move a piece of sand paper upon the workpiece making very fine modifications in smoothing your product. A compound miter saw, also known as a chop saw is a stationary saw used for making precise cuts across the grain path of a board. These cuts can be at any chosen angle that the particular saw is capable of. A table saw is intended to make long precise cuts along the grain pattern of the board known as rip cuts. Most table saws offer the option of a beveled rip cut. A thickness planer is used to smooth the surface of a board and make it the exact thickness across the entire board. A jointer is used to produce a flat surface along a board's length and to create a square (or 90°) edge between two adjoining surfaces. A band saw is used to make both irregularly shaped cuts and cuts through material thicker than a table saw can manage. It is much more robust than the jigsaw or more delicate scroll saw, also regularly used in woodworking. Notable woodworkers Alvar Aalto Norm Abram John Boson Frank E.
