Tools

This section collects our general woodworking tool guides — hand-tool techniques, clamps and lathes, batteries, and repair/warranty help — that don’t fit a single saw category.

Shop tools: shop clamps, Jet wood lathes, and cut a circle without power tools.

Batteries & service: charge a Craftsman V20 and Ridgid repair centers.

For power tools and saws specifically, see our tools & saws guide.

What clamps do I need for woodworking? A mix of bar/pipe clamps for glue-ups plus a few quick-grip and spring clamps covers most home-shop tasks.
