About tools, hand; planes, chisels, gauges and similar cutting tools for working wood

HS code 820530 covers a diverse range of hand tools used in woodworking, including planes, chisels, gauges, and other cutting tools. These tools are essential for shaping, smoothing, and finishing wood products, from furniture and cabinetry to construction materials. The global market for these hand tools is driven by the ongoing demand for high-quality, precision woodworking in both commercial and DIY applications, making this industry a vital component of the broader manufacturing and construction sectors.

Production process

The production of hand tools for woodworking typically involves a combination of metalworking and specialized manufacturing processes. The base components, such as the tool body and cutting edges, are often made from high-carbon steel or other durable alloys using techniques like forging, casting, or machining. The tools are then heat-treated and tempered to achieve the desired hardness and edge-holding properties. Finally, the tools may undergo additional finishing steps, such as grinding, polishing, or the application of protective coatings, to enhance their performance and appearance.
