Perform a thorough weekly pre-start inspection across your machine shop. This checklist covers lathes, vertical mills, ironworkers, bench grinders, band saws, sanders, drill presses, drop saws, welders, and oxy-acetylene tools. Verify guards and E-stops, check tool condition, coolant pumps, valve settings, and housekeeping. Confirm first aid and spill kits are stocked, fire extinguishers accessible, and waste storage compliant, then record notes and sign off.
