Woodworking Machinery and Equipment

Woodworking can be an expensive hobby if you insist on buying modern tools and machines – but the cost can vary depending on the type and size of tools and the manufacturing brand.

Here at Kendal Tools, we provide woodworking machinery and equipment from all the big names – including Scheppach, Sedgwick, SIP, and Draper, to name just a few – and guarantee competitive pricing.

Power tools have built-in motors that last a long time and allow you to work faster and with more accuracy. These tend to cost the most, but you get what you pay for.

If you can afford to splurge on larger machines and power tools – and you have the space in your workshop – then go for it. However, you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg on woodworking tools and machinery.

If you’re on a budget, our best advice is to start with the basics (i.e. a handsaw, circular saw, cordless drill, router, sander, etc.), then expand your arsenal as your skills develop.

Absolutely. Here at Kendal Tools, we supply an extensive range of hand tools, power tools, and machine tools and appreciate that deciding which you need can be tricky. That’s why our team is always on hand to help and will be more than happy to advise you on the best woodworking machinery and equipment for your project.

Hand tools are typically the cheapest woodworking tools available as they’re hand-powered and don’t require electricity. Examples include handsaws, sliding bevels, and chisels.

Power tools either have an electric motor, are corded or battery-powered. These include circular saws, which are designed to cut through wooden beams and planks using blades, and orbital sanders that deliver a rotating and orbiting motion to provide a sanding pattern.

Machine tools are stationary power tools. A thickness planer is one of the most popular woodworking machines used to machine timber to a uniform thickness. These machines feature variable speeds and are ideal for making repetitive cuts. Other examples of machine tools include band saws and mortise machines.

To determine which woodworking machinery you need, get in touch with our experts.

Bandsaws are typically used to cut lumber into irregular shapes, crosscut short pieces, and rip wood. To achieve any of these tasks, you need the appropriate bandsaw blade.

Whilst all bandsaw blades are strong and durable, they come in an assortment of lengths, widths, thicknesses, and tooth configurations. Each of these different qualities can impact the outcome of the project.

When choosing the best bandsaw blades for your machine, you need to consider the size of your saw’s wheel, as this will determine the required thickness and width. Typically, smaller machines need thinner, narrower blades. Larger bandsaws can often handle thicker and wider blades.
