Frequently asked questions: Equipment for Furniture Makers
Which blade should I choose for cutting wood or chipboard panels?

The blade is chosen according to the material: chipboard and melamine-faced board need a fine-toothed blade for clean cuts on the edges, while solid wood can use coarser teeth for faster cuts. The diameter of the circular blade must match that of the saw stated by the manufacturer. A sharp blade reduces chipping and strain on the saw.

Which router bits should I use with a plunge router?

Router bits for wood are chosen according to the profile you want to make, such as chamfers, grooves or decorative edges, and the shank, which must be 6 mm for your router's collet. Work with progressive passes and a speed suited to the bit diameter, always with the workpiece clamped. Clean the bit regularly of resin to keep it efficient.

Which clamp should I use for gluing panels?

The clamp holds the pieces under pressure during gluing, and its opening should be chosen according to the size of the panel. The quick-release nylon clamp speeds up the work, while spring clamps and spring grips are suited to light pieces and finishing. Apply even pressure and remove excess glue before it hardens.

How do I fit furniture hardware with shelf supports and back plates?

The plastic shelf support with galvanised iron pin holds the shelf resting on the upright, and is inserted into holes of the matching diameter. The screw-on galvanised back plate is used as reinforcement behind the panel, to spread the load of the screw. Mark the positions with a template before drilling, so that the shelves stay aligned.

Which bumper or corner protector should I use to protect cabinet doors?

The cushioned door bumper stops the door slamming against the cabinet body, reducing noise and hinge wear. The self-adhesive corner protector, such as the 30 mm model, protects the edges of panels from knocks. Choose the thickness according to the space available and clean the surface with a dry cloth before applying the adhesive.

Which nails or steel strip should I use for fixing furniture?

Flat-head nails in bright steel are used for concealed fixings in wood, with the head left below the surface. The steel strip for fixings, in 17 and 25 mm sizes, is used to join parts of furniture and structures quickly. The nail length should be chosen according to the thickness of the panel to be passed through, without ever driving it completely through.

Which woodworm treatment should I use for the wood of a piece of furniture?

The woodworm spray treatment should be applied to clean, dry wood, following the label instructions for timing and number of coats. Work in a ventilated area and wear gloves, because the product can irritate the skin. Before treating a valuable piece of furniture, test a hidden area to check that the product does not alter the finish.
