A tree chipper or woodchipper [1] is a machine used for reducing wood (generally tree limbs or trunks) into smaller woodchips. They are often portable, being mounted on wheels on frames suitable for towing behind a truck or van. Power is generally provided by an internal combustion engine from 2 to 700 kilowatts (3 to 1,000 horsepower). There ...
The most popular material for handles of hand saws is applewood; in the early 1900s 2,000,000 board feet of applewood were used annually for this purpose. [2] Sometimes cultures developed two main types of saw teeth: the cross cut saw teeth and the rip saw teeth. These cut into the wood using different mechanisms. Wood is composed of many long ...

Circular saw blades are jointed prior to sharpening so that all teeth protrude from the blade the same distance from the centre. Jointer knives are ground until they are all the same length prior to sharpening. The edges of a card scraper are jointed by running the edge over a file or a sharpening stone prior to using a burnisher to turn the burr.
This category is for large stationary machines used in woodworking, where the machine is fixed or stationary and the material is moved over the machine. For smaller power tools see Category:Woodworking hand-held power tools. For hand-powered tools, see Category:Woodworking hand tools.
Scrapers are normally made from high carbon steel. There are many manufacturers who provide scrapers in a wide variety of styles. Many woodworkers prefer to make their own card scrapers by cutting them from old hand saw blades. Card scrapers are sometimes used in working with ceramics, where they may substitute for the more traditional wooden rib.
