Workshops
1. A workshop is a room or building which provides both the area and tools (or machinery) that
may be required for the manufacture or repair of manufactured goods. Basic power tools for workshop
include: drills, circular saw, finishing sander, table saw, router, band saw, biscuit joiner, drill press.
2. There are many types of drills: Drills with a percussive action are usually used in hard materials.
Drilling rigs are used to bore holes in the earth to obtain water or oil. Some types of hand-held drills are
also used to drive screws. Some small appliances may be drill-powered, such as small pumps, grinders,
etc.
 3. A circular saw is used to trimming and performs basic cuts not only on timber, but also other
materials such as concrete, fiber board and metal. There are many small inexpensive table saws out there
but unfortunately they are under-powered and don’t work very well.
4. A band saw uses a blade consisting of a continuous band of metal with teeth along one edge.
The saw may be powered by wind, water, steam, electrical motor or animal power. The band rides on two
wheels rotating in the same plane. Band saws can be used for woodworking, metalworking, or for cutting
a variety of other materials, and are particularly useful for cutting irregular or curved shapes, but can also
be used to produce straight cuts.

Task 4. Read the text again and decide whether the following statements are true or false.
1- …………… A circular saw is only used on concrete materials.
2- …………… Drilling rigs are used to band holes in the earth to obtain water or oil.
3- …………… Some types of hand-held drills are also used to drive screws.
4- …………… Band saws use different types of power.
