Woodworking can be an expensive hobby if you insist on buying modern tools and machines – but the cost can vary depending on the type and size of tools and the manufacturing brand.

Here at Kendal Tools, we provide woodworking machinery and equipment from all the big names – including Scheppach, Sedgwick, SIP, and Draper, to name just a few – and guarantee competitive pricing.

Power tools have built-in motors that last a long time and allow you to work faster and with more accuracy. These tend to cost the most, but you get what you pay for.
If you can afford to splurge on larger machines and power tools – and you have the space in your workshop – then go for it. However, you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg on woodworking tools and machinery.

If your on a budget, our best advice is to start with the basics, small bench top machines are great value (i.e table saw, bandsaw, planer thicknesser, morticer, wood lathe) then expand your arsenal as your skill develop.

Bandsaws are typically used to cut lumber into irregular shapes, crosscut short pieces, and rip wood. To achieve any of these tasks, you need the appropriate bandsaw blade.

Whilst all bandsaw blades are strong and durable, they come in an assortment of lengths, widths, thicknesses, and tooth configurations. Each of these different qualities can impact the outcome of the project.

When choosing the best bandsaw blades for your machine, you need to consider the size of your saw’s wheel, as this will determine the required thickness and width. Typically, smaller machines need thinner, narrower blades. Larger bandsaws can often handle thicker and wider blades.

Browse the range of bandsaw blades in full online and identify the most suitable one for your bandsaw. If you’re still unsure which to buy, contact our experts on 01539 733 774. We will be more than happy to assist.

Choosing the best woodturning lathe for you is very often based on the space you have available, and how much you are looking to spend.

Larger woodturning lathes will take up more room and cost more, but these will be better value for money in the long run, as they are much more versatile and can be used with wood of all sizes.

However, mid-size and mini lathes fit perfectly into smaller functional spaces and still provide a range of uses.

For woodwork enthusiasts and hobbyists, the smaller Scheppach DM500T 500mm 4x speed bench hobby lathe is perfectly sized for workspaces with less room for large equipment and is designed to be portable.

The midi W824PF Package Deal: W824 Midi Lathe, VIPER2 Chuck & LEG Floorstand is a bestseller. Despite being small enough to be comfortably moved off the bench when not in use, it remains able to handle most projects.

The midi lathe also showcases a quiet running feature, making it perfect for those who share their space with others or have to focus on their woodworking during evenings or weekends and don’t want to annoy the neighbours.

For first-time lathe owners who want a good all-rounder, the large Charnwood W813 Floorstanding Woodturning Lathe comes highly recommended. The optional wheelbase is perfect for anybody who needs to prioritise the space they have, allowing them to rearrange the room regularly.
