Free printable shop worksheets

Keep the details that are easy to lose between jobs. These four one-page PDFs are free to download and print—no email signup required.

Equipment and attached-tool record (PDF) — keep the machine, gun or torch, serial number, and manual reference together.
Job estimate input worksheet (PDF) — collect material, labor, and outside-cost inputs before preparing a quote.
Consumables count sheet (PDF) — record part numbers, units, on-hand and on-order quantities, and shelf notes.
Before-you-order checklist (PDF) — gather markings, measurements, and manufacturer references before buying a replacement.

Blank recordkeeping aids, not welding procedures, inspection approvals, compatibility guarantees, or financial advice. Print at 100% on US Letter paper. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions and your workplace procedures.

Choose the record that fits your job

The free worksheets above are one-page PDFs for handwriting, with no email signup required. Arc Life’s paid Excel workbooks add calculations and ongoing records:

Preparing quotes? Use the free job estimate worksheet to collect costs. The Welding Job Cost & Quote Calculator is designed for cost-based estimates and a 100-job estimated-versus-actual log. You enter your own rates and manually save each quote.
Reviewing supplies? Use the free consumables sheet for a dated shelf count. The Welding Shop Consumables Manager adds reorder points, suggested reorder quantities, usage records and an Orders log. Physical counts remain authoritative; it does not place orders.
Organizing maintenance? Use the free equipment record to keep machine and attached-tool identities together. The Welding Equipment Maintenance Manager adds maintenance schedules, service history, repair records and due-work views. Your shop supplies the tasks and intervals and reviews the work.

The paid workbooks require Microsoft Excel; Excel 2019 or later is recommended. Google Sheets compatibility is not guaranteed. Review each listing’s included files, license and operating limits before buying. The Quote Calculator V1.3 listing notes that native Excel open/recalculate/save/reopen and sorting checks are incomplete; its workbook previews show V1.2.
