Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Clean worktop daily – Wipe the hardwood surface after every session to remove filings, dust, and flux. This prevents surface scratching and keeps the bench smooth for precision work.
• Empty catch tray regularly – The large pull-out tray is designed for collecting precious metal filings; empty it frequently to maintain cleanliness and material recovery efficiency.
• Protect hardwood surface – Keep the solid wood top dry and avoid prolonged exposure to chemicals or moisture. Use a light furniture wax occasionally to preserve finish and reduce wear.
• Maintain bench peg area – Clean the bench peg slot and mandrel holes often to prevent debris buildup that can affect sawing, filing, and forming accuracy.
• Check drawers and runners – Do not overload drawers; ensure smooth sliding by keeping runners free of dust and periodically tightening fixings.
• Avoid heavy impact work on top – This bench is designed for precision jewellery work, not forging or hammering; use a steel block for heavy forming.
• Keep in dry, stable environment – Wood can expand or contract with humidity, so stable workshop conditions extend lifespan and maintain alignment.
• Tighten fittings periodically – Recheck screws and structural joints after initial use and during long-term workshop operation to maintain rigidity.
• Clean arm rests and accessories – Wipe leather or padded supports to prevent grime buildup and maintain comfort during long sessions.
• Organize workspace load evenly – Avoid placing excessive weight on one side to keep the bench stable and prevent long-term warping.
