Woodworker's Power Tools: An Essential Guide Book

Many power tools are so powerful many woodworkers find it hard to control them for high-quality work. Learn when and how to use each power tool you own--and many you might buy--with tips and tricks for getting professional performance from all of them. The section on saws shows you how to choose, use, and care for a table saw, band saw, chop saw, sliding compound miter saw, scroll saw, radial arm saw, circular saw, saber saw, and trim saw. Then comes the section on drills and drill presses--10 kinds--including corded and cordless, portable, benchtop, and floor models. The same exhaustive attention is given to jointers and planers, sanders, routers, and shapers, as well as router bits and jigs. Air tools covered include compressors, air nailers, sprayers, and air drills, while the chapter on lathes ranges from benchtop to stationary, and features the latest tools and chucks.
