Which tool is a wood working tool for making fancy edges in wood?

• A. Router
• B. Wire Brush
• C. Circular Saw
• D. Sledge Hammer

Answer: (A)

Edge profiling in woodworking is best achieved with a router, a tool designed to shape the edges of wood with precise, decorative profiles. By using different router bits—such as roundover, chamfer, ogee, or cove bits—a single edge can take on a wide range of fancy shapes and moldings. The router is guided along the edge, often with a fence or pattern, allowing consistent depth and smooth, clean finishes. In contrast, a wire brush is for cleaning or texturing surfaces, a circular saw makes straight cuts rather than decorative edges, and a sledge hammer is for heavy pounding and demolition—not edge shaping. So for creating ornate, decorative edges, the router is the go-to tool.
