The Top Carpentry Tools We Use at Kerce Precision Millworks (and you can own too!)


Every trade has its tools, and woodworking is no different. Any craftsman knows that the right tool for the project is critical in manufacturing a quality end product in a timely manner. In our list of 18 tools, you can find carpenter tools, woodshop tools, woodworking power tools, and the best woodworking tools. Here is a tally of our top woodworking tools every woodworker and carpenter should think about owning, even if you are just a hobbyist.


1. Festool Sanders https://amzn.to/3tNSESr

Effortlessly transition from corded to cordless without compromising performance. Balanced with a unique ergonomic battery for optimum performance and handling. The RTSC 400 provides the same functionality as its corded counterpart but with hybrid power options - use it cordless or corded. The 18-volt Ergo battery provides up to 30 minutes of runtime at full power. Integrated, removable Protector provides protection to abutting surfaces as well as the pad for up-close sanding applications.


2.Festool Track Saw

Capable of cutting material up to 2-3/4'' thick, the TS 75 wields plenty of power, with pinpoint accuracy. Designed to work with Festool’s revolutionary zero-clearance Guide Rail (e.g. #73382, sold separately), it leaves a burn- and splinter-free edge clean enough for edge gluing. The TS 75 is big enough for cutting thick entry doors, truing rough lumber, cutting out window frames, and more. It features more power and cutting depth than the smaller TS 55, plus added safety features. The saw blade retracts into the housing, which makes cuts in the middle of a sheet precise, easy, and safe. Ingenious bevel-tilt mechanism keeps the edge of the guide rail precisely on the cut line, regardless of the bevel angle. Ideal for heavy sheet stock, since you can take a lightweight tool to the sheet rather than a heavy sheet to the saw. Just position the Guide Rail on the sheet and rip away—there’s no need to even clamp! Includes a 36-tooth carbide blade, plastic splintergaurd, Plug-It Power Cord, and a Systainer 5 storage case.

It also provides a wide butt end, or large sweet spot, for striking accuracy. Manufactured in Sheffield, England.
