Failure to use a suitable fence or jig can result in injuries, such as those caused by kick-back. [3] [4]: 121–125 The most common fence on a table saw is a rip fence, and is provided as standard with any new table saw. The rip fence is parallel to the saw blade and can be adjusted to different distances from the blade to set the size of the ...
The skew is said to be the most difficult wood-turning tool to master but when used correctly, it delivers a superb finish which is hard to match by any other tool. parting tool – a pointed tool used to separate (part of) work from the lathe, and to create a straight edge separating large and small diameter sections – wide parting tools are ...
In the types in which the cutter portion is an indexable part clamped by a screw, the cutters are called inserts (because they are inserted into the tool body). Tipped tools allow each part of the tool, the shank and the cutter(s), to be made of the material with the best properties for its job.
The table saw has had a profound impact on the field of woodworking by enabling woodworkers to achieve greater precision, efficiency, and versatility in their craft. With the ability to make a wide range of cuts, such as rip cuts, crosscuts, bevel cuts, and dado cuts, the table saw has become an indispensable tool in woodworking workshops ...
Boring: A single-point tool is fed linearly and parallel to the axis of rotation to create a round hole. Drilling: Feeding the drill into the workpiece axially. Knurling: Uses a tool to produce a rough surface texture on the work piece. Frequently used to allow grip by hand on a metal part.
The foreground shows the mandrel for the base. Behind the finished vase are the spinning tools used to shape the metal. Metal spinning, also known as spin forming or spinning or metal turning most commonly, is a metalworking process by which a disc or tube of metal is rotated at high speed and formed into an axially symmetric part.

A lathe faceplate is a basic workholding accessory for a wood or metal turning lathe. It is a circular metal (usually cast iron) plate which fixes to the end of the lathe spindle. The workpiece is then clamped to the faceplate, typically using t-slot nuts in slots in the faceplate, or less commonly threaded holes in the faceplate itself.
It normally consists of two threaded eye bolts, one screwed into each end of a small metal frame, one with a conventional right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread. The tension can be adjusted by rotating the frame, which causes both eye bolts to be screwed in or out simultaneously, without twisting the eye bolts or attached cables.
