Article Category: Arts and Crafts

Author Name: Kellie

For a woodworking craftsman, there's nothing more important than his tools. They are his bread and butter, without them he has no way of properly practicing his craft. That is why you should also take care of your tools so that their usefulness will not fade. There's nothing quite as exhausting as trying to cut wood using a dull saw, or drilling a hole using a worn out drill bit. The bottom line here is that you should always keep your tools in tip-top shape so that you can use them properly whenever you need them.

There are almost as many sharpening and grinding tools and methods as there are tools. It depends on the tool on just what kind of maintenance work you should do, and it might also be a matter of personal choice depending on however which way you use your tools. Here is the most common sharpening or grinding tools you can use to properly take care of your precious tools.

1. Sharpening Stones – These stones are the perfect sharpening tools. You can use sharpening stones to sharpen your knives, plane blades, and other woodworking tools you have that have a flat blade. They come in different sizes and shapes, are either made from quarried stones or artificial man-made substances. They are classified by their grade; this is the grit size of the stone itself. The grit size of the stone is proportional to the finish of the material you polished; the finer the grit, the smoother the finish. This also means that the actual procedure of sharpening will take a lot more time than using a rougher grit stone because fine grits will remove a lot less material.

2. Files – A file is a tool made of a hardened steel bar whose surface is covered with sharp parallel ridges. You use files to shape materials little by little by scraping and scuffing off some of the material. You can also use it to sharpen your tools, much like a sharpening stone.

3. Bench Grinder – A bench grinder is an equipment that you can use to make finely polished surfaces. It is basically a wheel that is placed on an electric motor; it can be used as a polisher, buffer, or even as a sharpening tool. This tool is a must have in any workshop because of its versatility, relative ease of use, and speed. You can use them for sanding your wood pieces by attaching a sanding wheel. But most importantly when you use a fine grade grinding wheel, you can use it as a hassle free and fast sharpening tool.

These are just a few of the implements you can use to properly take care of your woodworking tools. There are a lot of them out there on the market, just choose what suits your purpose best. In woodworking, it is important to have well-maintained tools, shoddy tools make shoddy pieces. Take the time to take care of your tools and they will take care of you too.
