Tool Maintenance Truths: Do We Actually Do It? | CMP Live EP148

What this episode covers

This week on the Creative Makers Podcast, the hosts dive deep into one of the most overlooked (and often ignored) parts of the shop—tool maintenance. When should it actually be done? Do we handle it ourselves or send it out? And what does the industry standard really look like? From table saws and band saws to planers, jointers, and even hand tools like chisels and hand planes, we’re breaking down what it takes to keep your tools running at peak performance. Expect real talk, personal habits (good and bad), maintenance tips, and what separates hobbyists from pros when it comes to tool care. If you want your tools to last longer, cut cleaner, and perform safer—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Creative Makers Podcast 1. Website: https://creativemakerspodcast.podbean... 2.
