Perform Basic Preventive Maintenance.

Servicing Defective Tools

When chisel, spokeshave or the blade of the wooden plane hits a nail with worn-out edge and rounded edge, the
following sharpening processes should be performed:
1. Grinding is a process of reshaping the cutting edge of a tool. It should be done through the use of electric
bench grinder to remove the nicked and rounded edge.
2. Whetting – is a process of sharpening edge tools with water on a waterstone and oil in an oilstone. It is done after
grinding to remove irregularities of edge. It is performed by using the coarse side of the oil stone.
3. Honing – is the process of sharpening edge cutting tools after whetting. To obtain a keener cutting edge, honing should
be done through the use of the fine side of the water stone.

Saws that have curved teeth can be ground and filed. The following sharpening processes should be performed.
1. Jointing – is done by running a flat file over the ends of saw teeth. This process is performed only when the teeth
of the saw have been damaged by abuse or worn out uneven. The saw is clamped in a bench vise.
2. Setting – is the process of bending the teeth of the saw slightly outward. It is commonly done by means of a
small tool called saw set which is used in springing over the upper part of each tooth one to the right, the next to
the left.
3. Filing – is the actual sharpening of teeth of a saw by the use of a regularslim taper file.

TOOLS MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

1. Be sure to inspect tools before using them. This is to check if they are working in good condition.
2. After using a tool, clean it thoroughly with a damp cloth before keeping it in the tool box. To avoid rusting make
sure that the tool has been thoroughly dried before storing it.
3. Oil the metal parts of a tool to prevent rust formation.

TYPES AND USES OF LUBRICANTS

LUBRICANTS – is a substance (often liquid) introduced between two moving surfaces to reduce friction and wear beteen
them.

Types of lubricants
-Liquid including emulsions and suspensions
-solid
-greases
-pastes

1. Liquid lubricants
- LANOLIN is a natural water repellent. It is derived from wool grease and is safe alternative to the more
common petro-chemical based lubricants. These lubricants are also corrosion inhibitors protecting against
rust, salt and acids.
2. Water – can also be used on its own or as a major component with one of the other base oils.
3. Mineral Oil – this is used to encompass lubricating base oil derived from crude oil.
4. Vegetable Oil – this is primarily triglyceride oil derived from plants and animals.
