The existence of electric drills makes woodworking work more convenient and labor-saving

The existence of electric drills makes woodworking work more convenient and labor-saving, but sometimes, manual drills are more suitable for drilling holes in narrow spaces, and they are more controllable, lighter and less noisy when working. There are two types of hand drills: straight drills and crank drills.

Common drills found in woodworking workshops include twist drills, woodworking drills, hole drills, and flat drills. They each have their own advantages and limitations.

A twist drill can drill holes in wood, metal, plastic, and (almost) any other material. Twist drills have two disadvantages for furniture production: first, it is difficult to accurately locate and easy to deviate; second, the holes it drills are usually a bit elliptical.

The woodworking drill has a spike in the center. The purpose of this design is to allow the bit to engage the wood before the cutting edge of the bit makes contact with the wood, so it is positioned more accurately and the hole drilled is very round. Generally speaking, a woodworking drill is the best bit to use in woodworking, although it cannot be used to drill metal. woodworking drill

On the rare occasion that a hole is drilled so deep that the center spike of the woodworking drill pierces the other side, a hole drill can come in handy. The center spike and cutting edge of the hole drill are almost in the same plane, so it can make a very clean hole with a flat bottom. At the same time, since it can be positioned by cutting the edge, it can be used to shape the hole based on the existing hole, or punch a half-moon on the edge of a board (provided the board is fixed) - this But woodworking drills can't do it. The disadvantage of a hole drill is that it cuts slowly and heats up quickly. hole drill

A flat drill is a professional woodworking tool used to drill holes for pipes in a frame. But flat drills are not very useful for finishing on hardwoods. They tend to overheat, cut slowly, and drill rough, imprecise holes.

Wood carving tools are the most direct assistants and companions for sculptors to create. In the production process of wood carving, the carving knife and its auxiliary tools play a very important role. As the saying goes: "A man is as good as a family", and "a three-part craft is seven-part." To see how a person's craftsmanship is, you only need to observe his tools to know, and the maintenance and repair of tools can also prove the quality of laborers. In the creation of woodcarving, the tools are available and can be sharpened and used, which can not only improve the work efficiency, but also give full play to one's own skills in modeling, so that the knife, chisel, and washing are free and easy, clear and smooth, and increase the artistic expression of the work.

There are many types of carving knives, which are basically divided into two categories. One is the "Weng tube-shaped" blank knife, commonly known as "cutting the wasteland" and "blank knife", and the other is the "drilling strip-shaped" polishing knife, which is mainly used for digging fine blanks and trimming.
