A workshop is a room or building which provides both the area and tools (or machinery) that may be required for the manufacture or repair of manufactured goods. Apart from the larger factories, workshops were the only places of production in the days before industrialisation.

Basic Power Tools for Workshop: Drills, Circular Saw, Finishing Sander, Table Saw, Router, Band Saw, Biscuit Joiner, Drill Press

There are many types of drills: some powered manually, others using electricity or compressed air as the motive power, and a minority driven by an internal combustion engine (for example, earth drilling augers). Drills with a percussive action (such as hammer drills, jackhammers or pneumatic drills) are usually used in hard materials such as masonry (brick, concrete and stone) or rock. Drilling rigs are used to bore holes in the earth to obtain water or oil. An oil well, water well, or holes for geothermal heating are created with large drill rigs up to a hundred feet high. Some types of hand-held drills are also used to drive screws. Some small appliances may be drill-powered, such as small pumps, grinders, etc.

A drill in the shape of a pistol is useful and ubiquitous type of power tool. There is an endless variety of subtypes of this basic form factor, with the notable exception being the Right Angle Drill, a specialty tool used by trade specialists such as plumbers and electricians. A cordless drill is more convenient but is also quite a bit more expensive for a high torque unit that can match the power of an electric drill.

A circular saw is used to trimming and performs basic cuts not only on timber, but also other materials such as concrete, fiber board and metal just by attaching the appropriate blades.

Finishing Sander type generally uses a ¼ piece of sandpaper and is used for finish sanding. It's great for smoothing out a surface for painting or finishing. You can also use it to round over edges on some of your projects.

There are many small inexpensive table saws out there but unfortunately they are under-powered and don't work very well. Otherwise the blade will tend to stall when ripping wood and even burn some of your work. Equally important is that the fence is of a decent length and locks down tight without movement.

A router is a tool that's used to cut a profile into the edge of a piece of wood. (The profile on the edge of your dining room table was probably cut by a router.) They can also be used to cut mouldings and special profiles. When used with a "pilot bit" the router can be used to trim plastic laminate and cut parts from a template. Routers are available in plunge and fixed versions. The plunge router is spring loaded on its base and can be pushed down into a workpiece for special cuts. The other factor in router is the bit size.

A band saw uses a blade consisting of a continuous band of matel with teeth along one edge. Workpieces are fed into the cutting edge on vertical machines. The saw may be powered by wind, water, steam, electrical motor or animal power. The band rides on two wheels rotating in the same plane. Band sawing produces uniform cutting action as a result of an evenly distributed tooth load. Band saws can be used for woodworking, metalworking, or for cutting a variety of other materials, and are particularly useful for cutting irregular or curved shapes, but can also be used to produce straight cuts. The radius of a curve that can be cut on a particular saw is determined by the width of the band and its lateral flexibility.

A biscuit joiner is an excellent tool for joining together pieces of wood. The tool cuts a small slot in each side of a joint and a biscuit is inserted and glued in place to hold the parts together. A biscuit joiner can really speed up assembly of a project.

A drill press is a fixed style of drill that may be mounted on a stand or bolted to the floor or workbench. A drill press consists of a base, column, table, spindle, and drill head, usually driven by an induction motor. The head has a set of handles (usually 3) radiating from a central hub that, when turned, move the spindle and chuck vertically, parallel to the axis of the column. The size of a drill press is typically measured in terms of swing. Swing is defined as twice the throat distance, which is the distance from the center of the spindle to the closest edge of the pillar.

A drill press has a number of advantages over a hand-held drill:

-less effort is required to apply the drill to the workpiece

-the table allows a vise or clamp to be used to position and restrain the work

-the angle of the spindle is fixed relative to the table, allowing holes to be drilled accurately and repetitively

Drill presses are often used for miscellaneous workshop tasks such as sanding, honing or polishing, by mounting sanding drums, honing wheels and various other rotating accessories in the chuck. A drill press is great for drilling consistent holes in wood; however the limited depth makes them less useful for woodworking than metalworking. The best uses for a drill press are when you are working with small parts.
