 5 Basic Carpenter Tools

Sliding Bevel- A sliding T bevel, also known as a bevel gauge or false square is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles.  The bevel can be used to duplicate an existing angle, or set to the desired angle by using it with any number of other measuring tools (such as a protractor).

Combined Set Square-The combination square set consists of a blade (graduated steel ruler) and moving heads called a square head, protractor, and center head.  The square head is designed with a 45 and 90 edge, which makes it possible to be used as a try square and miter square. It may also be used as a height or depth gauge.

Carpenter Pencil- A carpenter pencil is a pencil that has a body with a rectangular or elliptical cross-section to prevent it from rolling away. Carpenter pencils are easier to grip than standard pencils because they have a larger surface area. The core is often stronger than in other pencils.

Try Square- A try square or try-square is a woodworking tool used for marking and checking 90° angles on pieces of wood. Though woodworkers use many different types of squares, the try square is considered one of the essential tools for woodworking. The square in the name refers to the 90° angle.

Marking gauge- A marking gauge, also known as a scratch gauge, is used in woodworking and metalworking to mark outlines for cutting or other operations. The purpose of the gauge is to scribe a line parallel to a reference edge or surface. It is used in joinery and sheet metal operations.

Drill- Wood Drill Bits: These can be identified by a small, pointed tip at the very end. If you look closely, you can see spurs on each side. They have a central point and two raised spurs that help keep the bit drilling straight. The bit cuts timber very fast when used in a power drill and leaves a clean-sided hole. They are ideal for drilling holes for dowels as the sides of the holes are clean and parallel.

File-a a coarse file with sharp-pointed projections. rasp. file - a steel hand tool with small sharp teeth on some or all of its surfaces; used for smoothing wood. 

Sandpaper- Paper with sand or another abrasive stuck to it, used for smoothing or polishing woodwork or other surfaces.

Handsaw-Handsaws are great for getting into tight spaces, too. a coping saw is a perfect tool to cut out the waste between dovetails.

Power saw- power-saw using a toothed or abrasive disc or blade to cut different materials using a rotary motion spinning around an arbor. A circular saw is a tool for cutting many materials such as wood, masonry, plastic, or metal and may be hand-held or mounted to a machine.
