Woodworking beginners can find it hard to buy tools. Without a clear understanding of different tool types and brands, you can easily buy the wrong tools for your bench.
Fortunately, we’re here to help. Read our beginner’s guide to carpenter tools to learn what exactly woodworking tools are, important factors to consider before investing in woodworking tools, and the best beginner woodworking tools to start with.
What Exactly Are Woodworking Tools?
As the name suggests, woodworking tools are power tools for woodworking applications, such as sawing and carpentry. There are many types and subtypes of woodworking tools, including:
- Saws, including table saws, jig saws, band saws, and compound miter saws
- Sanders, such as manual sanders, sheet sanders, belt sanders, and spindle sanders
- Routers, including fixed base routers and plunge routers
- Lathes
- Planers
- Wood jointers
- Dust collectors and air filters
- Oscillating multi-tools
- Right angle clamps
- Thickness planers
- Nail guns
- Drill presses
- Rotary tools, like drills
- Fastening tools, including clamps and vises
- Hand tools, like hammers and rulers
- Cutting tools, like chisels, files, and jigs
- Woodworking tool accessories, such as router bits, bench and stationary accessories, and planer blades
Important Factors to Consider Before Investing in Tools for Woodworking
As you can see, woodworking tools come in many shapes and sizes. Consider the following factors to avoid buying the wrong tool:
The Size of Your Woodworking Shop
First, look at the size of your woodworking shop. If you have limited space for storing tools, pick compact tools with multiple functions, such as oscillating multi-tools.
Also known as oscillating tools and multi-tools, oscillating multi-tools are some of the most flexible and portable power tools ever created. Small yet powerful, oscillating tools can accept various interchangeable blades for polishing, sanding, grinding, scraping, and cutting. They can slice through almost any material, including wood, cement, metal, drywall, plastic, and mortar.
The Scope of Your Carpentry Projects
As a general rule of thumb, the smaller the scope of your projects, the fewer tools you’ll need. For instance, if you want to start a do-it-yourself (DIY) furniture project, you’ll need:
- Safety gear, including an apron, safety glasses, earplugs, and a respirator
- A tape measure
- A drill
- A hand saw, if you’re planning to cut wood pieces
- Screws or nails
- A sander
- A hammer
If, instead, you’re looking to build a deck from scratch, you’ll need more tools. In addition to many of the items on the above list, you’ll need:
- A table saw for cutting boards to their required width
- A nail gun
- A jigsaw for cutting in tight spots
- An oscillating saw for hard-to-reach areas
- A reciprocating saw for finishing cuts on six-by-six posts
Your Level of Expertise and Goals
![Male carpenter using electric circular saw in home workshop with wood chips flying.](https://www.360powertools.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/11/iStock-926602156-1024x683.jpg)
You also need to consider your level of expertise and goals.
If you have little to no experience using woodworking tools, get the following user-friendly tools:
- An oscillating multi-tool: One of the best tools for beginners, oscillating multi-tools vibrate at very high speeds, making them safer and easier to use than jigsaws, circular saws, and reciprocating saws.
- A jigsaw: Also known as saber saws, jigsaws have a saber-like reciprocating blade. DIYers can use them to make intricate cuts that can be curved, straight, or serpentine.
- A circular saw: These saws have an abrasive or toothed blade or disc to cut different materials. They’re perfect for making straight cuts in lumber.
If you have a bit more experience, consider getting the following:
- A table saw: As the name suggests, these saws consist of a circular saw blade mounted on a table. They’re designed to save time, improve accuracy, and reduce the effort required to make straight cuts. Although they seem beginner-friendly, table saws can be dangerous for DIYers with limited experience. Serious woodworking accidents can happen if you hit the on switch without paying attention to your surroundings.
- RACK AND PINION FENCE RAILS - Ensures fence stays parallel to blade for fast smooth, and accurate cuts
- INTEGRATED FOLDING STAND - Legs quickly fold in to provide portability and convenient storage
- PARALLEL BLADE ALIGNMENT - Available micro-adjustment of blade so that it is parallel to rip fence and miter slot
- 4x4 CUTTING CAPACITY - Cuts material up to 4x4 at 90 degrees
- 2-47° BEVEL CAPACITY - Cuts between 2 positive stops at 0 and 45 degrees with quick release lever
- A sander: Sanders are relatively easy to use, but some models can skin your knuckles if you’re not careful. Certain models also create significant amounts of wood dust. People exposed to wood dust may experience adverse health effects, such as allergies, eye and skin irritation, nasal cancer, reduced lung function, and asthma. To avoid these issues, make sure you pick a suitable model. You should also use a dust extraction system and choose a less dusty wood type.
The Speed, Power, and Longevity of the Tools
Unfortunately, not every tool is made equal. Some are faster and more powerful and last longer than others.
Here are the specs you should look at to determine speed, power, and longevity:
Parameter | Ratings and features to look for |
Speed | Revolutions per minute (RPM) or oscillations per minute (OPM) |
Power | Inch-pound (in-lbs.) for wrenches and drillsAmperage (A), watts (W), or volts (V) for all electronic hand tools |
Longevity | Tool Housings:Tool housings should:Look and feel greatReduce vibrationAbsorb shock from dropsHold parts firmly in positionPlastic tool housings should be flexible. If they’re not flexible enough, they’ll crack and break when dropped. Look at PA numbers on plastic parts to determine flexibility — PA-6 is a good tool rating.Motors:Durable tools should have tough, brushless motors that run cool. Unlike brushed motors, brushless motors use magnets instead of brushes to generate electricity, resulting in less friction and heat. |
Customer Reviews
To get the best bang for your buck, look at all of the reviews, photos, and videos to determine whether each tool is a good fit.
If the average rating is less than four stars, chances are it’s not the best choice. The number of reviews also matters. Products with fewer than 20 reviews are less likely to inspire confidence because they haven’t been tried by enough people.
The Current Price Ranges and Your Budget
Finally, you need to consider the current price range for each tool as well as your budget.
If you’re trying to save money, buy tools from cost-effective brands like Ryobi, BLACK+DECKER, and Makita. These brands have a wide range of tools, from sanders and table saws to drills and jigsaws. But don’t limit yourself unnecessarily — high-end brands may also have budget-friendly offerings. Milwaukee sanders, for instance, are relatively inexpensive.
On the other hand, if you have the budget for it, you can get your tools from the higher-end brands. Compared with their more cost-effective cousins, Milwaukee and DeWalt tools last longer and are often more powerful. They’re also targeted toward professionals, making them a great pick for heavy-duty applications like deck building.
The Essential Tools for Beginner Woodworkers
![directly above workshop workbench table with documents , digital table, pens, safety equipment and travel mug.](https://www.360powertools.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2022/11/iStock-1358583786-1024x768.jpg)
Now that you know what to look for in power tools, let’s dive into the most popular types of tools for beginner woodworkers.
A Quality Workbench
Before you get any power tools, you must have a sturdy and reliable workbench. Otherwise, you won’t have a strong foundation for sawing, sanding, and other activities, leading to mediocre results and possibly even injuries.
- FOLD AND GO: More than just a workbench for garage use, the Pegasus goes anywhere you need extra support . It’s easy to pop open for set up, it folds down compact to save on storage space, and fits under your arm for comfortable carrying
- TWO-IN-1 DESIGN: Seamlessly transition between a workbench and a sawhorse to tackle projects of all sizes
- HEAVY-DUTY SUPPORT: As a portable workbench, it offers a high load-bearing capacity up to 300 lbs. As a sawhorse, it supports an impressive 1000 lbs. From bulky lumber to potted plants and bikes to heavy equipment, Pegasus can handle the pressure
- EASILY EXPANDABLE: If you need more room, simply add another Worx support table—such as the Pegasus, the Sidekick, or Clamping Sawhorse. They’re all the same height and use the same connectors for seamless attachment
- LARGE SURFACE AREA: With a surface size of 31" × 25" and a working height of 32", this folding work table provides enough space to suit a variety of applications, from staining and woodworking to painting and repairs
Here’s what to look for when choosing the best workbench for your needs:
Benchtop Size
Benchtops vary greatly in terms of height, width, and weight capacity.
Height. Workbench heights usually range from 25″ to 50″. Pick a bench that fits your comfort level — you don’t want a bench that requires you to crouch or bend while you’re working on projects or you could hurt your back.
Width. Most workbenches range from 24″ to 120″ in width. The best benchtop size for you will depend on the size of your work area. Remember that bigger isn’t always better — getting an 80″ bench doesn’t make much sense if a 25″ bench is all you need for cutting small pieces of wood. But, if you need a large, balanced surface for cutting long pieces of wood, you’ll want a benchtop that’s at least 72″ wide.
Weight capacity. Workbench weight capacities range from 150 lbs. to 3,000 lbs. Make sure you pick a bench that can handle the weight of your materials and tools. For instance, if you’re going to be sawing and drilling long and heavy wood planks, you should get a workbench with a weight capacity of at least 500 lbs.
Benchtop Material
Benchtops can be made from several different materials, including:
- Plastic: Lightweight and compact, plastic benchtops are great for light assembly projects. Most plastic benchtops have laminate covers to protect the plastic structure.
- Wood: Wood benchtops are strong and can withstand all tool types. They’re also resistant to heat, unlike their plastic cousins. You can use them for all kinds of woodworking projects.
- Steel: Steel is the most durable benchtop material. DIYers and professionals typically use them for heavy-duty projects.
Features
The best workbenches have features that make your work easier in one way or another. Common examples include:
- Rubberized leg stands: These keep the bench firmly in place, increasing stability and reducing the likelihood of accidents.
- Wheels: Most workbenches are stationary, but some have wheels for portability.
- Cabinets and drawers: Workbenches often have storage compartments that provide quick access to tools. You can also use these compartments to organize your toolset.
- Adjustable height: If you need multiple workbench heights for your projects, get an adjustable one. That way, you can just change the height as needed.
Power Tools
Once you’ve picked a suitable workbench, the next step is to get the right power tools. Here are some that you’ll likely need to have in your wood shop:
Capable Drill
One of the most ubiquitous woodworking power tools is the drill. Meant for driving fasteners and making round holes, drills can be cordless or corded and come in various sizes and types.
Cordless vs. Corded Drills
Cordless drills are highly mobile, making them a great pick for projects in tight spaces. However, cordless tools tend to be heavier than their corded equivalents because of the battery. They also need regular charging.
In contrast, corded tools have to be plugged in when you want to use them. This makes them less portable and harder to use in tight corners. If your work area is far from a power outlet, you may need an extension cable to use a corded drill. On the plus side, corded drills are typically lighter and more powerful than cordless models.
- Compact, lightweight design fits into tight areas
- High performance motor delivers 300 unit watts out (UWO) of power ability completing a wide range of applications
- High speed transmission delivers two speeds (0-450 & 1,500 rpm) for a range of fastening and drilling applications
- 1/2" single sleeve ratcheting chuck provides tight bit gripping strength
- Ergonomic handle delivers comfort and control
- 8-amp motor of the electric drill delivers high performance in heavy-duty applications
- 3/8-inch all-metal, ratcheting, keyless chuck is designed for greater bit retention of the corded drill
- DEWALT corded drill has 0-2,500 rpm with VSR trigger for versatility in drilling and fastening applications
- Mid-handle grip design with soft grip provides increased balance and comfort
- All ball bearing construction provides greater durability and longer tool life
Drill Sizes
Cordless and corded drills are available in 1/2″, 1/4″, and 3/8″ sizes. These measurements refer to the size of the part that holds the bit — the chuck — and indicate the largest bit shank for the drill.
A 1/2″ drill is best for heavy-duty applications, whereas a 1/4″ drill is enough for lighter tasks. A 3/8″ drill can accept a range of bits, so it’s suitable for common household tasks.
Types of Drills
There are many different types of drills, including:
- Hammer drills: With hammer and rotary actions, the hammer drill can drill through wood, concrete, stone, and metal. The drill-only mode penetrates metal and wood, and the hammer-and-drill mode drills through brick and concrete.
- Rotary hammer: Also called a combination hammer, the rotary hammer is a larger and more powerful version of the hammer drill.
- Drill drivers: Drill drivers can drill and drive screws. They have an adjustable clutch mechanism that lets you drive screws consistently without leaving them short or overdriving.
Power Saws
Power saws are used for cutting solid materials. They’re usually powered by a cable or battery.
Popular power saw types include:
- Circular saws: These saws have abrasive discs and teeth for cutting. They can be used on plastic, wood, metal, and other materials. DIYers and professionals often use circular saws for making long, fast, and straight cuts. Common types of circular saws include:
- Powerful 15-amp motor delivers 5 300-RPM for greater speed and faster cuts
- 7-1 4-inch carbide-tipped blade included. Spindle lock for easy blade changes.
- 51° bevel capacity with a positive stop at 45° for a wide variety of cuts
- Dust blower keeps line-of-cut free of sawdust for improved visibility
- Safety lock/guarded trigger and power-on indicator minimize accidental starts
- Abrasive: These devices have abrasive discs for grinding purposes.
- Cold type, for metal: Used for cutting metal, these saws use high-speed steel (HSS) blades with three tooth styles: segmented tooth, solid tooth, and carbide inserted tooth.
- Concrete: Concrete circular saws are used to cut brick, concrete, and tile.
- Buzz or cordwood: These beasts have round metal discs for cutting slabs and logs into firewood.
- Chainsaws: Chainsaws use a rotating linked chain to cut through wood at high speeds. They’re commonly used to fell and trim trees and cut through lumber. They have various power sources, including battery-powered engines, petrol motors, and corded, electric-powered engines. Gas chainsaws have the most power, but they’re also the most difficult to use and maintain. They’re also less environmentally friendly than battery-powered and electric saws.
- Reciprocating saws: These saws use push-and-pull motions to cut wood. They’re often used in demolition, remodeling, and construction work.
- Jigsaws: Jigsaws have a reciprocating blade that can make curved or straight cuts for wood crafts and other projects. They’re great for cutting complex shapes in wood.
- Table saws: Also known as bench saws, table saws are preferred for making accurate cuts. There are several kinds of table saws, including benchtop, sliding, hybrid, cabinet, and compact varieties.
- Flooring saws: These specialized tools are specifically designed for flooring projects. They can be used to make miter and straight cuts.
Hand Saws
Hand saws, also called panel saws, are used to cut wood into different sizes and shapes. Unlike power saws, they rely on manual power.
- An Idea Gift for Woodworker&Carpenter&Craft Man
- 【Optimal Blade Size】:Through numerous manual tests, We found that the 6" Japanese saw blade is the ideal size for precise cutting, enabling easy flush and finish cuts.
- 【Durable & Flexible Saw Blade】: The hand saw blade is made of SK5 high-carbon steel. The Japanese pull saw teeth are processed by a high-frequency hardening machine imported from Japan, and the hardness can reach HRC60-63 degrees.
- 【Double Edged】: One side of Japanese hand saw is 17TPI for cutting hardwood, and the other side is 14TPI for cutting softwood. Also can seen as Rip cut&Cross cut
- 【Hardened 3-Edge Teeth】: The hand saw has three-sided grinding gear design, sharp edge, faster chip removal, and smoother cutting.
Common hand saw types include:
- Crosscut saws: These saws are used to make rough cuts, such as cutting lumber and trimming branches. They boast thick blades and large teeth. Crosscut saws can be operated by one person alone or by two people simultaneously, depending on the model. Two-person crosscut saws have handles at both ends.
- Bow cut saw: Based on crosscut saws, bow cut saws are often used for cutting logs and pruning trees. Their crosscut teeth can remove sawdust while sawing. They can also be used for curved cuts.
- Coping saws: Also known as hack saws, coping saws are designed for making curved cuts in wood. They have a thin, narrow blade with 15 to 17 teeth per inch.
- Fret saw: For complicated woodwork, look no further than the fret saw. With 32 teeth per inch, the fret saw can produce extremely accurate work. Unfortunately, they’re quite fragile.
Nail Gun
A nail gun, nailer, or nailgun is a type of hammer used for driving fasteners into wood and other surfaces.
- Shoot 18-gauge brads ranging from 3/8 to 2 inches in length
- Operate at 60 to 115 PSI with the 1/4-inch NPT air inlet fitting
- Features a depth adjustment wheel, a nail gauge, a rotatable exhaust, and a quick release 106-nail capacity magazine
- Hassle-free nose latch makes clearing jammed nails quick and easy
- NOTE: nails and case not included. Pneumatic nailer, need air compressor to drive
Nail guns come in several flavors:
- Pin nailers: These nailers are for driving 23-gauge nails, which look like pins and don’t have flat heads like other fasteners. Use pin nailers for cabinet and furniture making and installing delicate moldings and trim.
- Brad nailers: These are interior nailers for cabinet making and trim installations. They’re designed to drive tiny 18-gauge brad nails into wood.
- Finish nailers: These nailers are for 15- and 16-gauge nails, which are stronger and thicker than 18-gauge brad nails. DIYers and professionals often use them for installing larger moldings and trims.
- Roofing nailers: Roofing nail guns are used to drive roofing nails. They are specifically designed for different sizes and types of insulation boards, shingles, waterproof tar paper, fiber cement, and vinyl materials.
Woodworking Hand Tools
Every workbench needs woodworking hand tools, such as sanders, filers, hammers, mallets, and chisels.
Sander and Filer
Sanding and filing can elevate your woodworking projects to professional quality. Used properly, they can eliminate splintered parts and create smooth wood surfaces.
Manual sanders and filers consist of wood or plastic blocks with sandpaper tacked on them. Use them if you don’t want to take off too much material. If you need to take off more material or do a substantial amount of sanding, get an electric sander.

Hammer and Mallet
Another popular manual woodworking tool is the hammer. DIYers usually use them for light-duty woodworking projects, such as crafts, furniture assembly, and framing.
Mallets are similar to hammers. A must-have in every toolkit, mallets can be used to deliver softened blows. Although you can’t use mallets to drive nails, you can use them to hit chisels. You can also use mallets to apply pressure to turn wrenches. Mallet heads are usually non-metallic and made of wood, rubber, or nylon.

Chisels
A chisel is a tool with a shaped cutting edge for cutting or carving wood. DIYers and artists often use chisels to carve wood. There are many types of specialty chisels, including:
- Premium Material: Drop forged chrome-vanadium steel blade for durability and heat treated for edge retention
- Widely Function Edge: Bevel edge for woodworking carving multi-purpose use, suitable for all soft wood, hard wood and laminated wood products
- Various Sizes: 1/4",1/2'', 3/4'', 1'', full length blade guard for added safety
- Durable Handle: PVC colored transparent high impact handle
- Surface Treating: Lacquer coating protects and lubricates blade for smooth cutting
- Mortise chisels: These have thick, stiff blades for making mortises and similar joints.
- Sash mortise chisels: Lighter versions of ordinary mortise chisels, these chisels are used for shallow mortises in window mullions or muntins.
- Firmer chisels: These chisels have thick, rectangular cross sections for heavier work.
- Framing chisels: Woodworkers usually use these with mallets for framing jobs.
- Dovetail chisels: These are specifically used for cutting dovetail joints.
- Bevel-edge chisels: Neither too short nor too long, these chisels are commonly used in carpentry. They have a straight edge and a beveled side.
- Paring chisels: These chisels are thin, flexible, and long. They usually have beveled sides, and the cutting edge of the blade is sharpened to enable smooth cutting.
- Butt chisels: These chisels have uniquely short blades. As their name suggests, they’re used to install hinges and butts.
- Corner chisels: Often used to create cabinets, these chisels have a medium-length blade. Carpenters use them to clean out square corners and cut deeper into mortises.
Precise Measurement Tools
Lastly, your toolbox should have precise measurement tools. Use these to transfer blueprints and ideas to your materials.
Accurate Tape Measure
This one is probably obvious. We highly recommend getting a quality tape measure that provides accurate measurements in both the metric and imperial systems. If you need to note many measurements, get a story pole tape measure — these have blank areas you can write on with a pencil.
- AUTOMATIC LOCK - Self locking mechanism allows blade to lock automatically and retract at the push of a button.
- NYLON COATED BLADE - Provides maximum blade protection.
- IMPACT RESISTENT CASE - ABS plastic with rubber over mold protects the case from accidental drops.
- STUD MARKINGS - Printed every 16 inches.
- HIGH CARBON STEEL - Provides the most durable blade and retraction spring.
Level
Angle-checking tools like levels can ensure 100% accurate level measurements. They have protected vials for measuring levels and precise edges for making clean lines. They may offer additional features, such as a top view window in the middle or an angled vial for measuring pieces at 45º.
- High accuracy 9-inch spirit level for easy leveling
- Torpedo level with 3 separate vials for easy leveling: horizontal, vertical, and 45 degrees (1.0mm/m accuracy)
- 3 easy-to-read vials made of durable supremely transparent acrylic glass with smooth inner contours and bright fluorescent liquid inside; Integrated ruler provides measuring marks in both metric and imperial scale
- Magnetic edge for convenient, hands-free use — great when working with steel materials
- Lightweight yet durable ABS and aluminum frame; TPR coating for added strength; hole for convenient hanging and carrying
Marking Tool
Finally, you should get marking tools. For most projects, you’ll probably only need a pencil or two. For greater accuracy, consider getting a premium marking knife. The best marking knives let you put down layout lines that are only a fraction as wide as a sharp pencil line. Chalk lines can also come in handy for making long, straight lines.
