The first tools for woodworking appeared a long time ago. Already cavemen several thousand years ago possessed the primary skills of woodworking. They built wooden houses, assembled furniture, tools, utensils and shoes from wood. Over time, from a simple craft woodworking turned into an art, allowing the creation of such masterpieces of architecture, as wooden buildings in Kizhi, Yaroslavl, Vologda. For many years, woodworking was done only with hand tools. But progress has changed everything, and over time woodworking enterprises were almost completely automated and mechanized, there appeared specialized woodworking machines; increasing the volume of production and significantly improving the quality of products.

Woodworking is a fairly complex process, associated with the transformation of color, size and configuration of wooden parts of different types of wood. The amount of equipment used to process this material is really great. Woodworking exhibitions offer and demonstrate a variety of equipment and materials for woodworking and production of rounded logs, furniture, house building from wood and other branches of woodworking, including tools and lines for solid wood processing, special equipment for furniture production and house building, machines for format and profile finishing and sanding, production of plywood, chipboard, fiberboard, MDF, etc.

Wood processing equipment also includes specialized laminating lines, board laying and transporting equipment, edge banding tools, various bonding presses, machining centers. Sawing equipment, sawing tools and mobile sawmills stand out in the woodworking industry. These also include sawing machines, band and circular saws, and various drying equipment.

Combined woodworking machines are very popular and in demand today, allowing to perform several different tasks with one tool.
