Keeping Woodworking Machines CleanCleaning and lubricating woodworking machines is a maintenance issue that is often overlooked in the workshop. We all just want our tools to work, when we work with them! The problem is if you don’t keep your woodworking machine moving parts clean and lubricated, they can rust or become coated with grit and debris and even become expensive problems and or breakdown. The good news is that most maintenance can be done in a minimal amount of time and effort, and once done becomes easier on subsequent cleanings. Tips on Cleaning and Lubricating Woodworking MachinesWoodworking machines live and operate in a dusty environment. While efficient dust collection is a MUST in any shop, it still will not pick up all the dust in a shop, nor will it keep the undersides of your machines clean.

Using 3-in-One Dry Lubricants only leaves a thin film that is less of a dust magnet.
Clean Regularly, Lube Often!Keeping these woodworking machine moving parts lubricated is key, so get into the habit of doing regular cleaning and maintenance to your tools. I clean and lube mine quarterly, or when I notice sluggish performance in operation. READ: How To Keep Rust Off Woodworking Tools
