A List of Woodworking Processing Methods
If you’re working with reclaimed wood and plan to do some finishing, then it might make sense to hire a professional woodworker instead of doing it yourself. When you’re looking for a woodworking service, the equipment needed will depend on the type of project that you have in mind. Here we’ll cover some common processing methods being used by professional woodworkers.
Milling
Milling is the process of removing material from a workpiece with a milling cutter. Milling machines are used to produce a wide variety of parts and components for many industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and more. The versatility of this equipment makes it an important part of woodworking as well as many other fields that require precision machining.
Drilling
Drilling is the process of creating a hole in a material by pressing or driving an object, which is used for durable materials. This type of cutting action involves using rotary cutting tools (cutters) to bore holes at various depths through different types of materials such as wood, steel, and concrete. Drilling machines are used for this purpose because they have suitable-sized rotary cutting tools that can be positioned precisely and cut through many layers without damaging them.
Tapering
Tapering is a method of cutting straight lines in wood and other materials without having to use any additional tools. It’s used for decorative purposes such as cabinet making, but also has many practical uses when it comes to making furniture, cabinets, and other objects out of wood. Devices such as tapers and cants are used for design accuracy in woodworking projects.
Planing
Planing is the process of removing excess material from a piece of wood. It’s done with a hand plane or power plane, which can be used to create a smooth surface on the wood. They can be used for smooth flat and irregular surfaces to remove abrasive grain from all sides of your wood surface area.
