Safety & Maintenance

Safety is a top priority in our shop. We ask all members and users of equipment to wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE), clothing, footwear, and practice spatial awareness when working to help maximize safety for everyone.

Before using tools, everyone is run through a tool safety check with one of our instructors or staff members. This ensures the user feels confident on correct techniques, as well as our staff is comfortable with them in our shop.

Our machines are regularly maintained, equipped with safety features, and have reminders posted where necessary about which types of cuts, materials, and/or procedures are allowed.

The regimen our staff uses to inspect, clean, and care for our tools is extensive, and conducted frequently.
