BUILD YOUR SHOP
Specialty
Explore What’s Possible.
Once you have the core tools covered, specialty tools can open the door to new techniques and types of projects. These aren’t tools every shop needs. What you add depends on the kind of woodworking you want to explore.
Turning
A lathe opens up an entirely different way of working with wood by shaping material as it spins. From pens and handles to bowls and other turned projects, the tools and accessories you add will depend on what you want to make.
Tools to Consider

Shaping & Joinery
As your projects become more complex, specialty tools can help you create profiles, joinery, and other details that would be difficult to accomplish with basic tools.
Tools to Consider
Router Table | Biscuit Joiner | Domino-Style Joiner
Precision & Detail
Some tools are designed for smaller, more intricate work where control matters more than speed. They can make it easier to cut detailed shapes, create interior cuts, and work with smaller pieces.
Tools to Consider
Scroll Saw | Rotary Tool | Detail Sander
Digital Fabrication
CNC machines and laser engravers combine woodworking with digital design, allowing you to create repeatable shapes, detailed patterns, engraving, signs, templates, and other custom projects.

More than the tools
Build a Better Workspace
The tools are only part of your shop. Safety equipment, dust collection, workholding, and a functional workspace can make woodworking safer and more enjoyable at every stage.
