Cutting tools need to be maintained like all tools if you want them to
last a long time. To maintain a cutting tool you will need to service
them with grease or oil as indicated by the manufacturer. If you don't
have a whet stone or a file, or you don't know how to sharpen your tools
then you will need to take the tool to a professional. The tools will
need to be sharpened when the blades are dull and won't cut, or it is
difficult to cut. To have a blade sharpened is a lot cheaper than
replacing the good tool. Keeping your tools sharpened will make the
project a lot easier for you and your helper. It just makes sense and it
is a lot safer to use a hand tool that has had the proper maintenance.
There
is a variety of tools that the average home owner or the handyman will
use for their projects. Handyman, as the name implies pertains to a
person that is good with all of the projects around their own home. In
order for you to have all of the tools that you need for any given
project you need to make sure you have all the basic hand tools. The
basic starter tools are a hammer, a saw, a sander, a knife and a
whetstone. These tools are the bare minimum that you will need. You will
find a large number of tools available for the basic home repairs at
your local building supply store. It is a good idea to learn what the
basic tools will do because a lot of the hand tools can do the same
task.
A circular saw is just another tool that you should own. It
is used to cut straight lines but with the proper blade installed it
will also cut a large curve. You would normally lay your lumber on top
of a pair of saw horses to make your cuts. If you have a larger project
you might want to use a radial arm saw or a table saw. You can use both
the radial arm saw and the table saw to cut the miters on your trim.
Even tho you can cut miters with both of these saws it is more common to
use a miter saw for that purpose. It will also help if you have a
sander of some type ready to sand some of your miters to make sure they
are perfect. That is if your project happens to be making picture frames
or installing molding. You don't want to start most projects unless you
are in procession of a router saw.
These tools have been in use
for a long time and there have been some great advancements in the
designing of them. There are a lot of factors leading to the development
of hand tools. A large driving force of the hand tool development has
been to make them easier to clean. If you want to keep your tool useable
and working for many years you have to keep them clean. You need to
read the manufacturers recommendation for maintenance and keep a
definite service schedule.
