   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_woodworking

   Any tool with a characteristically shaped cutting edge used for carving or cutting a hard material such as wood, stone, or metal by hand, with a mallet, or with mechanical power. Chiselling involves forcing the blade or cutting edge into the material in order to cut it. chop saw chops A type of vise. circular saw clamp. Also called a cramp.

3. Jigsaw (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_(tool)

   An important innovation by Scintilla-Bosch in 1966 [5] was the "pendulum action", where the blade tilts forward in the upward (cutting) stroke, and back for the down-stroke, ejecting the chips, so the blade runs cooler and cuts faster. A significant model was the Bosch "LESTO 8 554" in which the degree of "pendulum action" could be selected to ...

4. Router (woodworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_(woodworking)

   A "D-handle" fixed-base router. The router [a] is a power tool with a flat base and a rotating blade extending past the base. The spindle may be driven by an electric motor or by a pneumatic motor. It routs (hollows out) an area in hard material, such as wood or plastic. Routers are used most often in woodworking, especially cabinetry.

5. Router table (woodworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_table_(woodworking)

   Router tables are used to increase the versatility of a hand-held router, as each method of use is particularly suited to specific application, e.g. very large workpieces would be too large to support on a router table and must be routed with a hand-held machine, very small workpieces would not support a hand-held router and must be routed on a ...

6. Marking knife - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marking_knife

   The blades on marking knives are made of tool steel, have either a skewed end or a spear point, and the knife edge is bevelled on either one side of the blade or both sides. [4] On single-bevel skewed knives the side of the blade that is bevelled dictates whether the knife is for left-handed or right-handed use, while single-bevel spear point ...

7. Plane (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(tool)

   Craftsman No. 5 jack plane A hand plane in use. A hand plane is a tool for shaping wood using muscle power to force the cutting blade over the wood surface. Some rotary power planers are motorized power tools used for the same types of larger tasks, but are unsuitable for fine-scale planing, where a miniature hand plane is used.

8. Block plane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_plane

   A block plane is frequently used for paring end grain. This is possible because a block plane has its blade set at a shallow bed angle, allowing the blade to slice through end grain more efficiently; furthermore, for this to work, the plane is frequently held at an angle sometimes as much as 45 degrees to the direction of travel, so that the cutting edge slices the wood fibers as they pass ...

9. Jig grinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jig_grinder

   These features are all critical in positioning a hole-and-peg system a precise distance from a reference surface or edge. The most important factor on a jig grinder is the dual-spindle configuration. The main spindle is roughly positioned with between 1" or 2" of travel for setup, and then the 0.100" of outfeed is used during machine operation ...
