Basic Products For Wood Carving

Wood carving products are used to cut the wood in the desired shape, size or to make patterns, designs in the wood. These products can be hand tools or machines. Mostly hand tools are used for carving purposes but some carving machines are also preferred such as Dremel, to achieve high-quality work. We have listed essential wood carving products to achieve quality work.

8. Height Gauge (ऊंचाई नापने तथा मेज-आरी के ब्लेड, खाँचे बनाने के उपकरणों की बिट की ऊंचाई निर्धारित करने का उपकरण): A height gauge is used to measure the height of an object or to adjust the height of the router bits, saw blade, etc.
9. T-Ruler (T-आकार का पैमाना): T-ruler consists of a ruler and a straight scale. They are attached together at a right angle. It is used to measure or mark the distance, points.
10. Square (L-आकार का पैमाना): A square consists of a ruler that is attached to a straight strip at a right angle. It is used to set up saw blades, mark out joints, etc.
11. Measuring Tape (दूरी नापने का फीता): The measuring tape is a ruler. It is used to measure or mark the distances.

Marking Tools (चिह्न लगाने के उपकरण)

The marking tools can be:

1. Pen (कलम)
2. Pencil (तुलिका)
3. Scratch Awl (खरोंच लगाने का उपकरण): A scratch awl consists of a metal rod with a sharp tip that is used to scribe points, lines, etc.

Clamp (वस्तु पकड़ने के उपकरण)

Vise (वस्तु पकड़ने का शिकंजा)

The vise is a mechanical apparatus with a tightening screw. It is used to secure an object so that work can be performed on it.

Files (रेत, घिसाई करने के उपकरण)

A file tool is a hand tool that is used to sharpen blades, to smooth surface of the wood.

Handsaw (आरी)

Scraper (खुरचने वाली लोहे की पत्ती)

A scraper is a hand tool. It is used to scrap fine material from a surface. It gives a smooth finish to the wood. 

Sharpening Stone (धार लगाने का पत्थर)

The sharpening stone is used to sharpen the metal edge of the cutting tools. 

Turning Tool (लेथ मशीन पर वस्तुओं की कटाई, घिसाई करने में उपयोग होने वाले उपकरण)

A turning tool is a tool with a non-rotary tool bit. It is used mostly on lathe machine for finishing, detail work. These tools are used to work on a rotating workpiece. 

The lathe machine is used to rotate the workpiece to perform cutting, sanding, drilling, etc. 

Dremel Carving Machine (ड्रेमेल की नक्काशी करने की मशीन)

The Dremel machine is a special carving tool that is very useful for precision work. It can rotate the carving bits at various RPMs.

Drill Machine (छेद करने की मशीन)

The drill machine rotates drill bits to make holes in the wood or in other objects.
