The Power Tools Every Joinery Nottingham Contractor Needs To Have
Whether the joinery Nottingham contractor is a newbie or a seasoned veteran, he should at least possess the basic power tools needed to get the job done to the highest standard. Yes, it is possible to do simple joinery using basic manual tools, but the larger projects will need a perfect finish and power tools are more appropriate for the more serious tasks.
In order to get the job done properly, here are seven power tools that every joinery Nottingham contractor should possess:

Power Drill
Power drills are light, robust tools ideal for screw driving and drilling tasks on a myriad of materials, including wood, metal or plastic. Most power drills have up to 10 torque settings and twin-sleeve keyless chuck for quick exchange of bits and parts.

Circular Saw
The circular saw is usually associated with carpentry, however this power tool is perfect for fine woodwork jobs. This handheld power tool is extremely versatile and can handle numerous tasks with great accuracy. There are various models of circular saw but, of course, the contractor should determine which model works best for him.

Jigsaw
Jigsaws allow for circular and curved patterns to be cut in stock. A typically good model of jigsaw is one with corded and orbital-action and an easy blade changing system.

Table Saw
The table saw is the center and life of every woodworking shop; therefore, it should be of the best quality that a joiner contractor can afford. The contractor should take time to determine which features he would really want and need before choosing since this is a major purchase. This is also a common tool that you can see in almost every joinery Nottingham shop.

Random Orbital Sander
This is tool is a must-have for any serious joinery Nottingham contractor. Sanding can be done cleanly and efficiently as this tool reduces any sanding marks that would appear on the wood. When choosing the model, ensure that your local suppliers carry the correct sanding disks with the right number of grits fitted for your chosen model.

Router
A router with at least two horsepower and variable speed is the best choice for woodworking. There are several models to choose from, but the two common ones are the plunge router base and the stationary base.

Compound Miter Saw
This tool is necessary when cutting compound angles in the ends of wood. As a compound saw, it can cut in all planes with relative ease. The contractor is ensured to achieve a clean cut every time.

When looking for a joinery Nottingham contractor or anywhere for that matter, there are many ways to find a list of joiners. Some searches are easy, others not so. Typical searches are carried out with directories or search engines. Whatever way you choose to go about locating the right joiner for you, make sure that the joiner has the necessary power tools to finish the job to the highest standard. While skills and experience are important factors in choosing the right joiner, it is worth remembering that if the joiner lacks the right equipment, an excellent result can seldom be achieved.
