What are portable woodworking machines used for?

Portable machines allow you to cut, drill, route, assemble and sand wood in the workshop or on site. They make it easier to make adjustments to workpieces that are already installed.

WoodPartners brings together portable power tools for joinery and fit-out work, as well as machines for renovating parquet floors and decks. So not all equipment is handheld.

Which machines should you choose to cut and adjust wood?

Portable saws are used to cut wooden parts and panels. Circular, plunge, jigsaws, reciprocating and mitre saws meet different needs.

Portable planers allow you to adjust thickness and edges or rework a surface. Compare their working width and settings.

Which tools should you use for drilling, routing and assembling?

Drills & drivers are used to drill and fasten elements in the workshop or on site. The selection also includes specialised screwdrivers and rotary hammers.

Routers & trimmers allow you to groove, profile and finish edges. A router machines the material, while a trimmer is used in particular to flush-trim edge banding.

For making furniture, the biscuit joiners & dowel joiners category brings together biscuit joiners and joinery routers. They prepare the recesses intended for biscuits, loose tenons or connectors.

Which machines should you use to sand and renovate surfaces?

Portable sanders allow you to prepare surfaces before finishing. WoodPartners lists, in particular, random orbital sanders, finishing sanders or those intended for wall sanding.

This section also includes machines for parquet floors and decks, including edging sanders, floor sanders and brushing machines. Choose according to the substrate and the extent of the surfaces.

How can you compare equipment and contact manufacturers?

On WoodPartners, select a machine family then refine the results with filters. In particular, you can compare the type of machine, power or power supply.

On each product page, check the available features and documents, then contact the manufacturer for a technical question or a quote.

To complete your equipment, consult tools & consumables for abrasives and cutting tools. For fixed machining stations, explore secondary processing machines.
