Weekly clean and monthly flange inspect.
This care calendar sets out the routine for saw blades in busy South African workshops, with weekly cleaning and a monthly flange inspection clearly marked. Gauteng dust, coastal moisture, resin build-up and fine steel swarf all shorten blade life if checks are skipped. Use our contact form if you need a PDF version for the wall board or machine station.
Keep the matching blade and material information next to the machine so operators can check cleaning, storage and mounting at the right interval. A dated routine helps during shift changes and machine handovers, when missed maintenance often leads to heat marks, wandering cuts or extra noise from the arbor.
Pair the calendar with Blades, Materials and Kerfs so the workshop can match maintenance to the blade type, stock being cut and kerf width in use. Carbide-tipped blades, thin-kerf setups and abrasive sheet goods do not all need the same cleaning frequency or inspection points.
These checks suit workshop conditions from Kya Sands to coastal industrial areas, where airborne dust, humidity and stop-start conditions can affect blade condition between jobs. Notes focus on blade care, flange cleanliness, bore fit and storage, rather than general machine servicing.
