The electric drill is one of the most widely used power tools. It has many uses and is simple to operate. Electric drills can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes, from a light household duty to the heavy-duty industrial grade hand drill and drill press. One variation of the electric drill is the hammer drill or rotary hammer. The hammer drill is a tool used for making holes in concrete and masonry. Grinders are commonly used for shaping and finishing metal and other materials. Hand grinders are available in sizes ranging from those designed to do the intricate work of the die grinder to that of the 7 inch heavy-duty disc grinder. Bench grinders are standard equipment in most shops, ranging from a 6 inch bench model to the heavy-duty 12 inch pedistial grinder. Power cutting tools fall into two categories - portable and stationary. Portable and stationary cutting tools perform many similar operations, but portable tools, carried easily by hand, are used most often at the job site. Stationary tools are used in workshops and on plant floors. Stationary saws range in size from small shop jigsaws to huge n-band saws used in West Coast mills to saw redwood trees into lumber. This lesson will introduce you to the most common portable power saws used in construction and repair work, namely circular, saber, jig and reciprocating saws and the stationary cutting tools found in most maintenance and fabrication shops.
