This paper aims to present a model of a machine that can perform multiple operations on wood which is efficient and reliable than machines that already exist. The paper can help the common man, the daily worker, the carpenter that toils away by providing him with a tool at his disposal that can save his time, money and labor. The multipurpose wood working machine is unique in the manner that it utilizes a single multi-point tool to conduct all its operations and is operated by a single motor to save energy. The multipoint tool not only replaces multiple other tools but also saves energy by utilizing a single motor as compared to multiple motors which would be required if there were multiple tools. This also decreases the area the machine will take up making it more portable and lighter. By utilizing a single tool, there is an increase in the safety of the machine, as multiple tools mean multiple hazards. The tool will function in a manner similar to a routing machine. It is fixed in a module which holds it perpendicular to the vice which will be holding the work piece. The tool can transverse in all three directions using sleeves which are wrapped around threaded rods. Actuator motors then inhibit motion in all 3 dimensions using a control board. By doing so, the multipoint tool can work to its full potential and perform various multiple operations such as cutting, planning, drilling and slotting.
