Tool Inspection

Hello again, this article is to tell about your tool, how to clean them and keep them in shape so you can use them safely and in the correct way.

Always inspect your tools before you try to use them, no matter what the tool is. Like don't use a screwdriver that has a broken blade tip. Make sure that the edge tip is square to the shank of the screwdriver. If the tip is broken or worn down. It is time to repair or replace it.

You can either file a new tip to square it up, or if you are proficient with a grinder then do so. Just remember that using a grinder on a screwdriver will heat the tip up very quickly. If the tip gets hot enough it will take the temper of the steel. Which will cause problems, like stripping out the slots on straight slot screws, or the screwdriver will continually slip out of the slot.

No more than they cost nowadays, they can be replaced cheaply and quickly.

=====================================

While it is customary for wood to have defects like splits, cracks and knots, you may notice blemishes in your finished project like scratches, dents and gouges. These blemishes are inflicted on the wood from the machines you use to make your project. Even if you're making a plain piece like a pair of bookends, you'll want to remove these blemishes if you want your woodworking project to look its best. If you're making a larger piece, it becomes even extra important to remove these defects.

Taking Care of your Tools

Usually the first thing that a trademan or handyman will learn is that they can't do much work if their tools are dull and dirty.

Before using or sharpening any tools, be sure to read and understand the manuels on how to use and take care of the tools. (If they come with one.)

It takes longer to repair a mistake than it does to sharpen tools. Usually with a tool that is already in good shape, it will only take a couple of minutes to resharpen it.
