Abstract

Carpenters are key members and carpentry trades have a major role in the construction industry. Different hand and power tools are used to complete the jobs in this area. Various skill parameters are required for the proper usage of different tools, which are used in the construction industry. Based on the survey, choose one of the important tools used in this field that has conducted the experimentation. This paper describes the skill parameters involved in the proper use of the jigsaw tool and conducted an experimental study to analyze those skills varied between novices and experts. Based on the expert’s data, we could easily teach the novice for the proper usage of the tool. The expert’s data are set as a reference data for skilling the novices. This paper also discusses a comparison of expert’s data with the novice for proposing an assistive training system for jigsaw tools, which will accelerate the learning of use of the jigsaw tool.
