The work needs to test after sawing, cutting and smoothing of carpentry project. For this
reason, we use different testing tools in woodworking such as straight edge, winding
sticks, plumb bob, spirit level, try square etc. Without these a joiner can’t perform his
work accuracy. You should not require all the tools for all time. Different kinds of testing
tools are described as below.
Straight edge
Winding sticks
Spirit levels
Calipers
Try square can be used for testing straightness of plane surface of a wood and the right
angles of edges. It has two main parts –
blade and handle (stock). Among them
blade is made of steel and stock is made
of wooden or cast iron. The blade is
fitted with the handle at right angles. The
blade is 15 cm to 30 cm long, 3.8 cm
wide and 0.15 cm thick.
