With the amount of time and effort that goes into producing a crafted item, there should be no reason to compromise your work. Enginewise have solutions to the problems encountered by craftsmen in wood and metal.

The condition of hand tools and machinery plays a large part in the quality of craftsmanship, so every precaution needs to be taken to ensure that they remain in a professional state.

Rust and humidity can quickly reduce the value, efficiency and performance of your tools and machinery. Planes, chisels, saws and gouges, lathes, drills, planing machines, routers, spindle moulders, table saws, grinding machines, measuring and marking equipment are all particularly vulnerable. In addition, many woods produce corrosive dust and shavings. If you turn green wood you face a particular problem with highly corrosive sappy residue left on tools and machines.
