There are three basic woodworking tools that are a must for any woodworking projects: a circular saw, a power drill, and a saber saw. The two saws will allow you to make straight or curved cuts quickly and in almost any material. The drill allows you to make holes and drill in screws quickly. Almost any woodworking job can be handled with these three basics.

Circular Saw:

Circular saws crosscut, angle-cut, rips, and bevels lumber easily and cleanly. Don't worry about the plastic casing on some saws. They are molded in durable plastic that will last a lifetime. The baseplate, however, should be made of something more durable like extruded or cast metal. Thinner, stamped metal could warp over time.

Power Drill:

A variable-speed, reversible power drill is the tool of choice when it comes to power drills. You won't need a 1/2-inch chuck unless you are doing some heavy duty work. A 3/8-inch chuck will do almost any job. Some people prefer a keyed chuck for a better grip on the bit, but a keyless chuck makes for quick bit changing.

Saber Saw:

Examine the baseplate on a saber saw before purchasing. The cheaper saws are flimsy and wobble. Variable speed is also handy, but not necessary. Finally, choose a saw that handles 3 amps or more.
