Today we were continuaing with our joint and drawing boards in the workshop , after lunch break we were in the class room discussing the tools we used, the safety aspects for the machine, and i also learnt what 5x5 is.

These are the machines we were discussing and what safty aspects are:

Router

The router is a power tool used to rout out an area in the face of a piece of wood and the outside of the wood.

the safety aspects for it is:

• hold both sides of the router for full control
• dont put your hands where the bit is
• and check the tags on it

these  are what the router can do

Jigsaw

Jigsaws use interchangeable blades depending on the material to be cut. This is a tool that can be used with one hand

safety aspects for this machine:

• dont put your hand down the bottom of the jigsaw
• wait for the blade to stop before moving the machine
• if holding the machine with one hand dont hold it carelessly
• and always check the tags.
