Different Types of Power Tools

Power tools are tools used for drilling, cutting, shaping and many other industrial actions that can be powered by a steam engine, an electric motor or even natural power sources. Power tools can be stationary or portable. Stationary tools are the large machines that cannot be easily moved, while the portable ones can easily be moved and can be held by hand.

Belt Sander

The tools can further be divided into those with a power cord and those without. Cordless are the ones that are powered by batteries. They are more easy to handle because they are light and do not need an external power source. The batteries used are rechargeable. Cordless tools may include pruning shears, hand held vacuums, trim saw, planer and the jig saw. The first cordless tool was the electric screw driver that used an alkaline flash battery.

Belt Sander

There are different types of power tools. One of these is the drillers, which are used in cutting holes very fast. It uses motor to turn. They are sometimes used as sanders. If you can use adapters on the drills, you can use them to drive screws and bolts too.

Sanders are not used to smoothen a rough surface. Some of them include mouse sanders, belt sanders and drum sanders. They come in different shapes and sizes and make the work of smoothening easier. Joiners are also a type of power tools that joins two pieces of wood cut into thin slots.

A tool that uses a combustion engine or an electric motor to operate is the chain saw. They are easily portable and are mainly used to cut trees. Saws are on of the most dangerous to use because of the sharp blades. They should therefore be used with care.

Buying High Pressure Air Compressor

Air compressors are vital in order to power certain types of power tool. Many companies prefer using this type of power tool because they are much more efficient and some people think that they are better for you. The kind of compressor which you choose to buy depends completely on the types of tools which you will be using. Good makes to consider include Copeland compressors, Quincy compressors and Husky air compressors.

Belt Sander

Factors to Consider in an Air Compressor

Belt Sander

You need to think about how you will use the air compressor, and how often it will be used. Which types of tools will you be using with this compressor? Different types of tools will require a different amount of power. Nail guns need a higher volume compressor than a drill. Tools like drills or sanders need a steady flow of air and so do not require such a high volume compressor.

Air compressors are available in all sorts of budgets, you should set a budget which you can afford to spend. Certain brands can be very expensive, but that doesn't mean that they are really that much better. One way to get a good compressor without having to pay a fortune is to buy a second hand air compressor.

You need to also consider the type of pump which will be used. Most air compressors are either direct drive or belt driven. Direct driven machines last for about five hundred hours of use, these are much smaller than other machines. If you don't plan on using the compressor very often then one of these direct drive solutions would work very well. Direct driven machines do not need any oil. Belt driven machines will last much longer, up to 1500 hours. These are much better for professional use however will need oil changes every five hundred hours.

The power of all air compressors will be quoted in both horsepower and pounds per square inch. Both of these are important although they refer to different things. Make sure that your tools are powerful enough to power everything that you need. Check all of the tools which you will be using before buying your compressor.

Another thing which you must bear in mind is the size of the tank. Common compressors are available with tanks from two gallons right up to one hundred gallons. The longer that you use for tools for, the bigger tank size you need to have. Air on the side of caution and buy a slightly larger tank than you will think that you'll need.

Shopping Around for an Affordable Air Compressor

You must shop around before choosing which air compressor to buy. You should try to compare the machines like for like.

You don't have to buy a new machine you could consider buying a reconditioned air compressor. Reconditioned machines are second hand, but have been inspected and any worn out parts have been replaced. Most of these didn't get much use and are in very good condition.

You could consider shopping online as you may be able to get a much better buy.

Bosch 1274DVS 6.6 Amp 3-Inch by 21-Inch Variable Speed In-Line Belt Sander with Cloth Dust Bag Overview

Well-executed design combined with solid, reliable performance make this Bosch belt sander a tool with noticeable performance advantages. The Bosch features a magnesium-and-plastic housing that's lightweight yet durable. The tool is nicely balanced, comfortable, and easy to operate--important features in a tool that's often used for long periods of time for removing large amounts of stock. The Bosch comes with a cast-aluminum platen--so there's none of the warping that affects stamped-steel platens--and it sands perfectly flat right out of the box. Like many of the sanders in this class, the motor on the 1274 is aligned with the belt edge to allow flush sanding into corners. The tool's only drawback is that visibility is limited when sanding into tight corners, but that's a small minus when weighed against all the pluses. The belt-changing system works well--we didn't suffer any spring pinches--and the tracking adjustment tracks the new belt quickly and keeps it in place. There's a variable-speed dial built right into the trigger switch, which makes adjusting the belt speed fast and convenient. Wood magazine tested 10 3-by-21-inch sanders and liked the 1274DVS best. We agree that it's a great tool. --Mark McDonald

Workshop Tools

The wood working tools you need depends very much on the kind of items you want to make.

Belt Sander

If your major interest is in wood tuning, then you will need a lathe. What other tools you need will depend on what exactly you are going to do with the pieces you have made on the lathe.

Belt Sander

There are general tools that are required no matter what you make - wood needs to be cut and smoothed and joined together.

Hand tools
Most people will have acquired various tools for odd jobs round the home - screwdrivers, a drill, spanners etc. A selection are needed for general woodworking, with more specialized tools bought for various more advanced uses. At the bottom of this article is a list of common useful tools - it will give you some idea of where to start - you can buy others as you need them. As your work progresses, you will know when you need a new tool that will make the job easier or quicker.

Power tools
Power tools can save a lot of time and effort. An electric drill and a jigsaw are always useful, although you wont make much with just these two. A circular saw gives a straight clean cut quickly, and works well in a range of materials from thin sheet material to heavy timber. A power plane and belt sander are also very good and can save a lot of time. A router is very useful for many jobs.

Work Bench
The major item of most workshops is usually the workbench. Here is where the parts are made, clamped and worked on, and finally assembled. Position the bench to allow access from all sides. Leave room to manoeuvre the work to and from the bench.

I like the old kind of bench design, with a solid plank either side, and a low central storage area for the tools you are currently using, and storage cupboards underneath.
With a vice and planing stop, - and made rock solid and built to resist the stresses of hand planing.

Storage
I find that there are so many items needed in a workshop that storage is most important. A tool may not be used for months, and time is saved if a great search is not required.
If you have arranged separate work areas for sawing, routing, drilling etc, the tools required for this work can be arranged in these areas. Some tools will be used in more than one area, and could be duplicated, or shared. Use shelves and racks, glass jars for nails and screws, so you can see where things are

Useful sites
The internet is rich in information about tools for woodwork. Many sites include photographs, which can be useful if you are either trying to find the name of a tool, or find out what a particular tool looks like.

List of tools
Bradawl; Various Chisels; Various Drill bits, Flat bits, Countersink bit; Various Clamps G and Bar; Saws: Tenon, Coping, Cross Cut/Rip; Various Hammers; Mallet; Pincers; Various Screwdrivers; Gauges Marking, Mortise; Try square; Adjustable bevel; Various Scrapers; Oilstone; Steel Tape Rule, Steel Ruler; Various Nail Punches; Marking Knife; Smoothing Plane; Other planes: Plough, Rebate.

What Kind of Hand Tools Do You Need?

If you want to be able to handle any do-it-yourself projects in your home, make sure you have a work shop that has everything you need. Make sure you have the basic tools and any job, whether it is sawing, nailing, sanding, shaping or sharpening can be done.

Belt Sander

There is virtually no limit to the number of tools that are available for the home handyman to invest in. Just check out any hardware store or look in the garages of your neighbors. But many times it is overkill since so many of the tools do the same thing. With a basic arsenal of five tools, you can tackle just about any reasonable job. From there, you can start to develop a complete workshop as you get more proficient.

Belt Sander

A basic important tool any handyman wants is a circular saw. Cut large curves or straight lines with this saw; all you have to do is set a board on the top of sawhorses, and you have a work surface to hold the wood to be cut.

If you are planning on any large wood working projects, you will need a radial arm saw or a table saw. Pick a saw that can rotate to different angles if you want to make picture frames or mouldings. These angles will permit you to make 45 degree miter cuts that you need for corners.

A small electric sander will be invaluable in your woodworking jobs. You can do hand sanding, but a belt sander that is electric powered is faster and gives the finished product a smooth, professional look. Strips of wood for moulding or furniture are smooth and can just be painted or stained.

Next you will need a router. A tool such as this lets you make patterns in wood or grooves that are needed to form furniture. You can start with a plain Shaker style, and graduate to more complex designs such as French provincial furniture.

To maintain your tools in tip top shape, you will want to invest in a knife sharpening tool or a grinding wheel. With these, you can keep all of the blades in perfect condition. This is the hallmark of a quality wood worker: if the tools are sharp, you can cut finely and work in detailed patterns that look very professional.

If you want to do quality work, you should invest in quality brand tools. Some of the top names in the field that you should choose between are: Sears Craftsman, Makita, Rockler, Rockwell, Ridgid, Rockwell and Snap-On. If you buy any of these, you know you will have a top notch tool. There is some variation in price, but each of these should last decades and be a good investment for your workshop.

Now that you have the basics, you can add the extra items that will make the jobs easier and fun. You will want to have clamps and gluers, of course, but add to them over time jet tools, dovetail jigs, electric nailers and more.

If you have anl organized workshop and all of the basic tools, wood working will be a pleasure. How about a workbench as your first major woodworking project?

Tips on How to Cut Formica Accurately With Ease

Formica is a material that is found in many kitchens, whether it be for sinks, countertops, or flooring. Cutting formica may sound like a difficult and daunting task, but it is actually quite simple when using the right tools. Here is some information on how to cut formica accurately and safely.

Belt Sander

Cutting Formica Sheets

Belt Sander

The required tools needed to cut formica sheets are a reciprocating, router, flat file, and J roller. The first step of the process it to draw out the pattern onto the formica surface. Once this is complete, you will use your reciprocating saw to cut the material based on the pattern you had drawn. You will want to cut approximately 1/2-inch outside of your drawing.

Once you have made your cuts, you need to apply adhesive to the back of your formica. You will than use your J roller to to apply even pressure to the sheet, ensuring that the sheet bonds to the surface sufficiently. In order to cut the formica so that it lines up with the underlying surface properly, you should use your router. Finally, you can use a flat file to remove any sharp or even edges.

Cutting Formica Countertops

The required tools needed to cut formica countertops are a circular saw, jig saw, sawhorses, belt sander, metal file, and safety goggles. The saws are obviously used to cut the material, while the sawhorses are used as a base to cut the countertops upon. A circular saw with a 40 teeth blade is ideal for cutting formica.

The majority of the cutting will be done with the circular saw, while the jig saw will be used for finishing touches. The jig saw will also help to cut the countertop material without causing any damage to the adjacent wall.

Before you actually start cutting, you will want to use masking tape to protect and cover the countertop. This will help to prevent any damage to the material, such as chipping or splintering. Use the rip fence on your circular saw to help guide and direct your cut. You should always cut your countertop leaving some margin on the side. Once you have made these primary cuts, use a belt sander to to clean up any inaccuracies caused by imprecise cutting.

Cutting formica might seem like a daunting task, but it is actually much easier to understand than most people might think. If you are careful, precise, and follow instructions, you should have no problem cutting formica for your kitchen.

Special Lapidary Techniques That Will Amaze You

Every step in special lapidary techniques is vital from the choice of the slab, the trim sawing to the final polish. But potentially the most vital is the original coarse grinding stage. This is where you may be making calls on the bezel, curve, table, girdle and the general shape you need your stone.

Belt Sander

When using polishing agents, technique and speed are significant. Decide what process you're going to use like leather, canvas, felt: Linde A, tin oxide, cerium oxide.

Also take care with the heat buildup, it's critical to have an even distribution. Some stones transfer heat uniformly, but it's best to dodge any unexpected thermal shock, keep it moving and bring it up slowly.

The following are some special lapidary techniques:
Sawing - a thin circular blade made from steel, copper or phosphor bronze alloy infused on the outside edge with diamond grit and rotating at several thousand surface feet per minute scratches its way through a stone. Oil or water is used to wash away the waste and keeps the stone and the saw blade from overheating.

There are various sizes of circular saw - routinely sixteen to twenty-four inches in diameter for stones that are 1/8 to 3/8 in. thick. A six to ten inch in diameter for smaller stones. There are jigsaws that are great for cutting curved lines.
Grinding - this is done with silicon carbide or diamond-infused wheels. These are used to shape the gemstones to the coarse form called preform. Water and oil is used to wash away the waste and avoid overheating. Coarse diamond or silicon carbide like sixty grit or 100 grit is employed for fast removal of stone and the finer abrasive (600 or 1200 grit) is utilized for the final shaping and sanding.

Sanding - This has similarities to grinding but it utilizes the finer grits. This takes away the deep scratches left by the harder abrasives. As this step isn't done as quick it permits more control when getting the final shape of the stone prepared for polishing. A belt sander is utilized with stones that have round surfaces as they avoid making flat areas and inspire smooth curves.

Lapping - is both like grinding and sanding, with the exception that it is done on one side of a rotating or vibrating flat disk called a lap. This is used to make flat surfaces on a stone. Laps are made from steel, cast-iron or copper-bronze alloy.

Polishing - when you have the stone sawed and ground to the shape you would like and have removed any coarse marks, it is then polished which assists the light to reflect on the surface of the stone. Grades of 50,000 to 100,000 diamond mesh are used to shine materials. There also are metal oxides that may be used to shine stones as well like: aluminum, cerium, tin, chromium, ferric oxides, or silicon dioxide.

Stones differ when it comes to the simplicity of polishing and you may be quite creative when using polishing agents and surfaces. For flat surfaces you may use tin, tin-lead, lead, leather, felt, pellon, wood or Lucite laps. For round surfaces polish on felt, leather, cork, fabric or wood.

Drilling - when you would like to drill a hole through a gemstone you want a little rotating rod or tube with a diamond end of silicon carbide and coolant. Vibrating or ultrasonic drills are also great but these are pricey.

These are just a few of the special lapidary techniques, there's a lot of info available online and they're going to give you recommendation and tips when using these techniques.

How to Refinish a Vanity Dressing Table

Refinishing furniture isn't a simple job, but it also isn't as hard as you might think. Most homeowners have many of the required tools. If you don't, the necessary tools are very useful for general home maintenance in addition to refinishing projects.

Find a Vanity Dressing Table

Belt Sander

If you don't already have a vanity table or dressing table, you can often find them at garage sales, flea markets, and online used goods sites. They're also commonly seen in antique shops but may be higher priced.

When shopping for a table you intend to refinish, focus on the "bones" of the table rather than its visual appeal. Make sure the drawers slide smoothly and the legs don't wobble (or can be easily repaired if they do.) Look for major cracks and damage or missing pieces. Most people are swayed by the finish rather than the underlying structure, so you can get a great deal on a solid piece in need of TLC.

Refinishing Instructions

Before you start refinishing your vanity dressing table, you'll need to collect these supplies:

• Tarp or other groundcover
• Dust mask
• Safety glasses or goggles
• Work gloves
• Rubber gloves
• Belt or disk sander
• "No clean-up" or "wash-away" stripping chemicals
• Plastic spatulas
• Plastic scrapers
• Grain filler
• Wood stain
• Sanding sealer
• Tack cloth
• Varnish or lacquer
• Sponge brush or varnish brush
• Screwdriver

1. Lay out the tarp outside, and then put the table on top of it. Remove the frame from the mirror and put the glass somewhere safe. Also break the table down as much as possible to make it easier to strip.

2. The type of stripper you need depends on whether the piece is stained or painted. Ask for help choosing the right stripper at your hardware store. Wearing rubber gloves, the mask, and safety glasses, apply the stripping chemicals with the spatula. Wait the amount of time required on the package, and then remove it as instructed. Avoid using water as the final rinse because it can swell the grain.

3. If necessary, reapply the stripper or use a belt sender to remove any remaining finish. If sanding, start with a rough grain, then switch to a lighter grain. Ask the employees at the hardware store to recommend sandpaper appropriate for your type of wood.

4. Repair any nicks, cracks, or damage to the wood.

5. If the wood has an open grain, like oak, then apply grain filler with a plastic spatula. If you'd like the finish to be close to the natural wood color, use a natural-colored filler. If you're aiming for a darker finish, use a filler closer to the final color. Once it's dried, scrape off the excess filler.

6. Reassemble the table and all its parts.

7. Apply the new stain, let it set the recommended time, then remove the excess, and allow the table to dry.

8. If you're using a non-polyurethane finish, apply a sanding sealer and allow it to dry. Vacuum the piece to remove dust, then rub with tack cloth.

9. Apply the varnish or coating and allow it to dry overnight.
