Power tools and machinery

Drill Press

A drill press is a stationary power tool equipped with a drill bit for drilling precise holes in metal workpieces.

Bench Grinder

The bench grinder is used for shaping, deburring, and polishing metal pieces.
It has two grinding wheels: one for coarse grinding and one for fine grinding.

Angle Grinder

Angle grinders are handheld power tools used for cutting, grinding, and polishing.
They can be equipped with various attachments for different tasks.

Power Hammer

The power hammer is a mechanical forging hammer that uses a non-muscular power source to raise the hammer.
It is used to shape large pieces of metal quickly.

Welding Machines

Arc welders produce a weld by generating an electric arc between a metal stick (“electrode”) and the metal workpiece.
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welders use a wire welding electrode on a spool to produce a continuous weld.
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welders use non-consumable tungsten electrodes to produce the weld.

Bandsaw

Pneumatic Tools

Tools like pneumatic hammers and chisels use compressed air as their power source.
The pneumatic hammer is faster and less labour intensive than manual chiselling.

Always wear necessary protective gear (i.e., safety glasses, ear protection, and dust masks) when operating power tools.
Ensure correct setup of the tools and machinery, such as proper blade installments in a bandsaw or the correct electrodes in a welding machine.
Only use power tools and machinery for their intended purposes.
Regular maintenance of the tools is necessary to keep them in good working order and safe to use.
Ensure the work area is neat, clean, and free of clutter or tripping hazards when using power tools.
