(parellel with ground plane) or plumb
(perpendicular to ground plane).
Torpedo Level

on a drawing or workpiece.

90 for gluing, fastening, etcetera.
General use medium duty clamp suitable for

glue ups and various hold down purposes.
Hand Screw Clamp
A handy jig for drilling holes appropriately

centered for dowel joints.
An extremely adjustable clamp useful

for clamping and holding oddly shaped
materials.
Drill Vise
Large C Clamp
A vise useful for holding small workpieces

specifically on the drill press where other
clamping areas are inaccessible. But also
useful on a variety of other hand machining
and assembly operations.
Deep throated clamp useful when other

clamps are too small. Particularly useful
on the drill press.
CLAM PS AN D G U I DES
Dowel Drilling Jig
Available in:
10, 16, 22, & 28 inch lengths
A heavy duty clamp with a rigid spine

excellent for clamping situations where
maintaining material flatness is important.
Strap Clamp
Quick Clamp
(aka Band Clamp) A clamp ideally suited for

clamping or holding oddly shaped workpieces on which other kinds of flat clamps
are unusable. The Strap Clamp acts like a
very tight belt.
A clamp with an easily adjustable tightening mechanism useful for light clamping
and work-holding purposes. Quick clamps
are easy to use but do not supply as much
clamping pressure as Pipe, F or C style
clamps and thus are unsuitable for many
gluing applications.
Spring Clamp
Pocket Hole Jig
Used for temporarily holding two objects

together. Ideal for light duty applications
where the distribution of clamping pressure
is not of major concern.
An assembly jig designed specifically for

piloting and driving screws into two workpieces oriented at 90. Pocket Hole joints
make for a fast, yet strong alternative to
laborious hand jointery.
Pipe Clamp
Clamp useful for holding down medium sized

workpieces and other assembly operations
where higher clamping torque is ideal.
10
Medium C Clamp
11
A Western-style handsaw (cuts on the

pushstroke) equally suited for making rip and
crosscuts. Does not produce a finished edge.
A saw with a narrow flexible blade useful for

cutting curves and detailed shapes by hand.
A hand powered scroll saw.
Back Saw
Pull Saw
A Western-style saw (cuts on the pushstroke) specifically for making short rip cuts,
particularly those common in furniture joints
like the dovetail and the mortise and tenon.
An Asian-style saw (cuts on the pull stroke)

which incorporates both a ripping blade and
crosscutting blade in one saw. Because the
saw has no spine, it is well suited for cutting
thick material and performs well on both
wood and foams.
Hack Saw
Pneumatic Hand Saw
A saw with replaceable blades suited for

cutting metal and other non-wood materials.
Powered off of the pneumatic air system,

the Pneumatic Saw is an open-ended saw
useful for making free form rough cuts in
foam and other very soft materials.
C U T T I N G TO O LS
Coping Saw
12
Combination Saw
13
A hybrid offspring of the drill bit and the saw

blade. Hole saws are excellent for drilling
round holes in thick materials where other
drill bits might struggle.
Cordless Circular Saw
Biscuit Jointer
A cordless version of the Corded Circular

Saw. The Cordless Circular Saw is lighter
and less powerful and is thus meant for
material no thicker than 1 inch.
An exceptionally useful tool when it comes

to joining wood parts together without the
use of screws or other metal fasteners. The
biscuit jointer cuts matching slots in the
adjacent faces of the material to be joined.
A pre-cut biscuit of wood is then inserted
during glue-up. Biscuit joints are quick,
accurate, very strong, and are of great help
when it comes to laminating multiple parts
while maintaining their planarity.
Jig Saw
Plunge Router
A hand held power tool fitted with a linear

cutting blade, the jigsaw is ideal for making
curved cuts in flat wood or wood composite
material. The Jig Saw can be thought of as a
portable band saw.
A rotary power tool which can be fitted with

a wide variety of router bits for profiling the
edges of material or for cutting grooves of
various geometry within the face. Used mostly
on wood and wood composite material.
Hole Saw Set
The circular saw is a portable power tool

and is well suited to make straight cuts in
wood and wood composite materials. Though
the circular saw is an extremely versatile
tool, it is also very prone to kickback if used
incorrectly. Great caution should be exercised
when learning and using this tool.
14
Corded Circular Saw
15
16
(aka Pneumatic Nibbler) Powered off the

Pneumatic air system, the pneumatic nibbler
makes fast and clean cuts in thin gauge
metals like metal flashing.
The metal shears are like scissors for thin

gauge metal.
Tin Nips
Scissors
(aka Tin Snips) Another scissor-like tool

for cutting thin gauge metal. Tin Snips
have slightly less leverage than shears, but
produce something of a more controlled and
clean cut.
A versatile shearing tool suitable for

papers and lightweight cardboards.
Trim Router
Utility Knife
Similar to the plunge router only smaller.

The trim router is ideal for routing smaller
areas on which a plunge router is too large
to be effective.
A tool with a retractable, replaceable

razor-like blade, the utility knife is superb for
cutting all sorts of material. From paper to
cardboard to fabric, the utility knife can
produce very controlled and workable cuts.
This tool is best used with a straight edge or
other cut controller to minimize hazards of an
exposed and extremely sharp blade.
Metal Shears
Pneumatic Nipper
17
Claw Hammer

hard rubber head for making last minute
adjustments during glue-up and other
operations which need striking force, but
where a steel headed hammer would
damage the workpiece.

strengthen holes in fabric and help resist
tearing. Common in sails and other places
where fabric might be critically tied in position.

and the male and female components of the
grommet.

and holding small objects. Needle nose pliers
also include an integrated set of wire cutters
near the handle.
Flat Jaw Pliers
Slip Jaw Pliers
Flat jaw pliers are best suited to gripping and

pulling flat sided material.
Similar to flat jaw pliers but with increased

jaw capacity, Slip Jaw pliers also incorporate
a channel locking system which allows the
user to grip large objects while still applying
parallel jaw pressure.
Needle Nose Locking Pliers
Locking Pliers
A plier like tool with an adjustable locking

mechanism suitable for grabbing and holding
items with more force than could be applied
with the Flat Jaw Pliers.
Identical in function to the Needle Nose

Locking Pliers but with a wider and firmer
grasping head.
