  • Hand Saws Hand Saws Have Evolved to fill Many Niches and Cutting Styles
    Source: https://www.garagetooladvisor.com/hand-tools/different-types-of-saws-and-their-uses/ Hand Saws Hand saws have evolved to fill many niches and cutting styles. Some saws are general purpose tools, such as the traditional hand saw, while others were designed for specific applications, such as the keyhole saw. No tool collection is complete without at least one of each of these, while practical craftsmen may only purchase the tools which fit their individual usage patterns, such as framing or trim. Back Saw A back saw is a relatively short saw with a narrow blade that is reinforced along the upper edge, giving it the name. Back saws are commonly used with miter boxes and in other applications which require a consistently fine, straight cut. Back saws may also be called miter saws or tenon saws, depending on saw design, intended use, and region. Bow Saw Another type of crosscut saw, the bow saw is more at home outdoors than inside. It uses a relatively long blade with numerous crosscut teeth designed to remove material while pushing and pulling. Bow saws are used for trimming trees, pruning, and cutting logs, but may be used for other rough cuts as well. Coping Saw With a thin, narrow blade, the coping saw is ideal for trim work, scrolling, and any other cutting which requires precision and intricate cuts. Coping saws can be used to cut a wide variety of materials, and can be found in the toolkits of everyone from carpenters and plumbers to toy and furniture makers. Crosscut Saw Designed specifically for rough cutting wood, a crosscut saw has a comparatively thick blade, with large, beveled teeth.

  • Abrasive Wheel Grinder Abrasive Wheels and Grinding Machines Come in Many Styles, Sizes, and Designs
    Abrasive wheel grinder Abrasive wheels and grinding machines come in many styles, sizes, and designs. Both bench-style and pedestal (stand) grinders are commonly found in many industries. These grinders often have either two abrasive wheels, or one abrasive wheel and one special-purpose wheel such as a wire brush, buffing wheel, or sandstone wheel. These types of grinders normally come with the manufacturer’s safety guard covering most of the wheel, including the spindle end, nut, and flange DEWALT Industrial Tool Co. projection. These guards must be strong enough to withstand the effects of a bursting wheel. In addi- tion, a tool/work rest and transparent shields are often provided. Hazard Bench-style and pedestal grinders create special safety problems due to the potential of the abrasive wheel shattering; exposed rotating wheel, flange, and spindle end; and a naturally occurring nip point that is created by the tool/work rest. This is in addition to such concerns as flying fragments, sparks, air contaminants, etc. Cutting, polishing, and wire buffing wheels can create many of the same hazards. Grinding machines are powerful and are designed Exposed spindle end, flange, and nut. No tool/workrest. to operate at very high speeds. If a grinding wheel shatters while in use, the fragments can travel at more than 300 miles per hour. In addition, the wheels found on these machines (abrasive, polishing, wire, etc.) often rotate at several thousand rpms. The potential for serious injury from shooting fragments and the rotating wheel assemblies (including the flange, spindle end, and nut) is great. To ensure that grinding wheels are safely used in your work- place, know the hazards and how to control them.

  • Scroll Saw Safety
    Clover Safe ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY Clover Safe notes are intended primarily for 4-H volunteers and members nine years and older #95 SCROLL SAW SAFETY Scroll saws are not considered as dangerous as other types of power saws, such as band saws or table saws. However, scroll saw users should keep in mind that during 2009 power saws were involved in more than 35,000 injuries (U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission data) where people received hospital treatment. Most scroll saw injuries are lacerations to the fingers and hands resulting from contact with the moving saw blade. By following the precautions given in this Clover Safe note, users should be prepared to prevent Drawing Courtesy of Federal OSHA inadvertent scroll saw injuries. Pre-Use Activities Thoroughly review and understand information provided in the scroll saw operator’s manual with particular attention given to descriptions of safety procedures. Before using, always inspect the scroll saw for damage or disrepair. In addition, assure the blade teeth are pointing down and saw blade is undamaged, sharp, and properly secured in a vertical position. Inspect the electrical cord and plug for defects. If the scroll saw fails your inspection, inform your group leader, parent, or guardian and remove it from use until it can be repaired. Operating Precautions Always wear a face shield or safety glasses when using a band saw. As appropriate, wear a dust mask and/or suitable hearing protection. Never wear gloves, a tie, loose clothing, a watch, rings, or jewelry when using a scroll saw. Tie long hair back or secure under a cap.

  • Place the Gouge in the Third Station of the Sharpening Guide and Lay the Side of the Gouge Against the Left Wall of the Station (Figure 24-12)
    Figure 24-14.Position the roundnose chisel, Figure 24-13.Set the parting tool’s side in bevel up in the fourth station. Tighten the the first station. knob. Place the gouge in the third station of the sharpening guide and lay the side of the gouge against the left wall of the station (Figure 24-12). Rotate the gouge until its center touches the abrasive. With the machine "OFF" practice rotating the gouge, first clockwise from the center to the edge, and then counterclockwise from the center of the gouge to the edge. You should notice while rotating the gouge that in order to keep the bevel in contact with the abrasive, you must slide the gouge forward on the station as the bevel is ground from the center to each edge. After you get the feel of this grinding motion, be sure the gouge is not touching the abrasive and the speed dial is set to "Slow" (if you are using the Mark V), then turn on the machine. Gently slide the gouge against the wall of the station and into the moving abrasive. Start rotating the gouge, like you practiced. Repeat this several times. Grind away only enough metal to remove any damage to the cut-ting edge and create a slight burr. If the gouge is being ground for scraping, it is ready to use (the burr is sharp and scrapes very well). If the gouge is being ground for shearing or cutting, it will need to be honed to a razor sharp edge. Grinding the Parting Tool— The parting tool has a bevel ground on both the top and bottom edges.

  • Tuning Metal Bench Planes for the Rest of Us by Chris Black
    Tuning Metal Bench Planes for the Rest of Us By Chris Black It’s an unfortunate reality that most metal bench planes don’t work to their full potential right out of the box, and that a certain amount of tuning needs to be done by the end user. With apologies to all engineer/machinist woodworkers, I will endeavor to explain how to tune a metal bench plane without involving a machine shop or taking up vast amounts of your valuable woodworking time or money. I’ll leave out the small stuff like after market blades and accessories. This is by no means the final word on this subject, but maybe you can pick up a thing or two from my many years of making a living with these wonderful tools. If you find my methods rudimentary or crude, let me paraphrase Jim Krenov who said at some point the engineer and artisan must part ways. SHARPEN THE IRON If there’s a given principle in woodworking, it must be sharp tools. If your steel isn’t keen, not much happens. Learn to sharpen and everything else in woodworking will begin to fall into place. 80% of all plane problems can be fixed by getting your irons as sharp as possible. There’s a ton of information about sharpening out there, but stick with the basics and worry about other stuff like cambered edges and different bevel angles later. I recommend Thomas Lie-Nielsen’s book Complete Illustrated Guide to Sharpening (202299), Leonard Lee’s Complete Guide to Sharpening (200831), or Jim Kingshott’s video Sharpening the Professional Way (221508).

Detailed study of the manufacturing traces on the archaeological implements identified that both percussive (pecking) and abrasive techniques (sawing and grinding/polishing) were employed for the production of the axes. There is limited evidence, however, of how these processes may have been undertaken. The aim of this work was to build on previous research investigating sawing and polishing methods and the materials that may have been used in these tasks.
