A well-maintained workshop is safer, faster and cheaper to run. Use this checklist to keep tools and equipment in top shape.
Daily
- Wipe down and return tools to their place.
- Clear dust and offcuts from benches and floors.
- Check power cords and air hoses for damage.
Weekly
- Blow out power-tool vents and check carbon brushes.
- Lubricate moving parts and drain the air compressor tank of moisture.
- Sharpen or replace dull blades and bits.
- Restock consumables — discs, electrodes, fasteners.
Monthly
- Inspect safety equipment (gloves, goggles, extinguisher).
- Calibrate measuring tools and test electrical safety.
- Tidy storage and label drawers for fast access.
Why it matters
Most tool failures and workshop accidents come from neglected basics — dust, dull blades, frayed cords. Ten minutes of routine care prevents costly downtime.
