Introduction to Machine Maintenance & Safe Machining


This course is designed for the beginner or any maker with an interest in learning how to maintain your own machines. It’s also a great course for companies or schools to send their staff, tutors, or students to ensure the machines within their organisations are kept in top condition.

We have pooled together years of our tutors’ experience in offering this course which will give the student an introduction into the care and maintenance requirements of the four most common woodworking machines:-

  • Bandsaw

  • Table Saw

  • Jointer

  • Thickness planer

Accurate setting and careful maintenance of your machines can eliminate many output challenges such as poor quality cut, drift or snipe.

As well as the care and maintenance of the machines we will also cover :-

  • Personal and machine safety

  • Selecting the correct maintenance tools

  • Lubricants/cleaners

  • Keeping an accessible log of machine manuals and the details of spare parts
