== Description ==

This is a lapidary saw with a sintered diamond blade used to cut rock and glass.

The manual is [https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1387235/Hi-Tech-Diamond-31-000.html?page=16#manual available here].

== Usage ==

Usage and authorization is still being worked out. Important points:
# The reservoir should be filled until the blade is 1/8" covered at the bottom. More than that, the water/lubricant will splatter.
# Water is used as a cooling agent, but there is lubricant involved to help cutting. Do not dump the coolant.
# The blade is sintered, which means that the diamonds are embedded in the steel of the blade. The diamonds will eventually break off, leaving plain metal to cut with. A "dressing stone" is needed to take off excess metal to expose more embedded diamonds for cutting.
# Use gentle, continuous pressure to cut your material. Despite the name, the blade doesn't exactly saw. Instead the diamond in the blade scratches away at the material. All pressing hard will do is make the blade go dull faster since the diamond shards will be forced loose.
# The blade needs to be removed and dried after use. Failure to do so will lead to rusting.

<span style="color:red">'''''Here because of the stickers on the cabinet regarding changing the media? Read the Media section below!'''''</span>

== Information ==
The cabinet is located behind the curtain near the Temporary Project Area. It acts as a barrier for welding station: two

== Interior Dimensions ==
58" wide, 28" deep, 34-1/2" high

== Media ==
These are the types of media available to use:
* Soda (Very fine)
* Pulverized glass (medium)
* Walnut shells (rough)
* Aluminum Oxide (really rough)

If you are authorized to use the cabinet, you may change the media to fit your needs. The procedure is as follows:
=== Media changing procedures ===
<span style="color:red">'''''Warning! Remove watches or jewelry you don't want to get scratched up! Also, absolutely wear a respirator to avoid breathing in any of the media!'''''</span>

# Check the sticker on the front of the cabinet to see what media is loaded. If it's not what you need, proceed to step 2.
# Make sure the bucket labeled with the same media as what's in the cabinet is empty, clean and dry.
# Place the bucket under the hopper at the bottom of the cabinet.
# Pull down on the door, it's on a heavy spring and will snap back, you have to hold it. The media will fall into the bucket.
# Make sure the cabinet is free as possible of the old media, mixing and matching media is a no-no.
# Remove the bucket from under the cabinet. ''It will be quite heavy.''
# Put the lid on the bucket!
# Find the bucket of media you want to use, open doors to the cabinet and pour the contents into the cabinet via the grate.
# '''''Label what media is currently loaded, the date, and who loaded it.'''''
# Check the floor and clean up any spilled media. This stuff can be ''very'' slippery, and the person most likely to fall will be you.
# Enjoy!

== Use ==
'''''DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT THE GLASS!'''''
* Ensure the vacuum is plugged into the switched outlet (top left of unit) before operating.
* Do not recycle blasting media. Only add fresh media to the hopper.
* Only use approved blasting media.
* Ensure both doors are fully secured before operation.
* Use a respirator while handling media or cleaning vacuum filter.
* Do not point gun at gloves. Use screen tray for parts too small to safely hold.
'''''SERIOUSLY, DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT THE GLASS!'''''

== Tips-n-Tricks ==
* If the gun does not seem to be performing well, try pressing it right against a piece of cardboard and blowing it until the media can be seen coming from the grill near the front of the machine; this clears the line
* Depending on the thickness of the material you're trying to remove, you're potentially in for a long time; grab a stool to sit or lean against and take breaks as bending over can really hurt the back after awhile

== Gun Setup, Parts, and Troubleshooting ==
The '''Blasting Cabinet''' bin on the bottom shelf contains new interior glass (really rolled plastic), new gloves, and gun tips

Grizzly 20" Planer

2026-01-09T03:14:42Z

Makelemonade: Update for what can be run through the planer.

{{Template:EquipmentPage
|owner = PS:One
|certification = yes
|hackable = no
|model = Grizzly G0454Z
|serial = 144367
|arrived = December 2025
|doesitwork = yes
|contact =
|where = Wood Shop
|value = $4000
|image = Grizzly_Planer.jpeg
|hostarea = Wood Shop
}}{{:Authorizations/Woodshop Basic}}

== Guidelines for proper use ==
'''This tool requires authorization for use.'''

'''''Only wood should be run through the planer.''''' No pressure treated wood, and no wood products. This means no plywood, MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), OSB (Oriented Strand Board). The dust produced from these is toxic.
# '''Always''' check your wood for nails or staples. Something as small as the staple at the end of a 1x1 can ruin the blades. If you're not sure, check the entire piece with the metal detector sitting on the table saw.
# '''Always''' measure the thickness of your work and set the initial and working blade height to remove only small amounts of material per pass. You will damage the blades if you manage to dig the machine out on your work.
# If the machine is making a strange noise when you use it, there is a problem, and you should '''ask for help.'''
# If the blades are dull or damaged, '''contact the area host immediately.'''
# If you break something, or damage the tool, '''contact the area host immediately.''' Don't let others do more damage or hurt themselves by using a broken tool.
# '''Always''' make sure that the dust collection bag isn't too full and is passing air freely.
# '''Always''' vacuum the machine, cutting area, and the table around the machine when you are done.

== Checklist ==
<nowiki>*</nowiki>NEED TO CREATE AND Add maintenance checklist document.*

Hour meter is installed.

We're going to try to follow the preventative maintenance schedule from Grizzly which is as follows.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">'''Grizzly Defined Maintenance
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''Ongoing Cleaning and Protection:'''

* Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust from the outside of the machine, inside the cabinet, and off the motor. Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.
* Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 from Grizzly.

'''Every 8 Hours of Operation:'''

* Clean the machine and protect unpainted cast iron.
* Lubricate the feed rollers bushings (Page 29).
* Tighten loose mounting bolts.
* Check/rotate/replace damaged or worn inserts (Page 34).
* Check/repair/replace worn or damaged wires.
* Resolve any other unsafe condition.

'''Every 40 Hours of Operation:'''

* Lubricate the table columns and leadscrews (Page 29).
* Clean/vacuum the dust buildup from inside the cabinet and off motor.

'''Every 160 Hours of Operation:'''

* Check/tension/replace the V-belts (Page 35).
* Lubricate the table height worm gear (Page 29).
* Lubricate the table height chain and sprockets (Page 30).
* Lubricate the drive chain and sprockets (Page 30).

'''Yearly:'''

* Change the gearbox oil (Page 30).

Member Storage Registry

2025-11-13T05:55:07Z

Makelemonade: Added Burton Kent's shelf

== Temporary Procedure as of January 2025 ==
'''New lockers were installed and are currently operating on a self serve basis while final electronic and aesthetic additions are being made to them. Make sure your stripe subscription is set to Member With Storage (accessed from the shortcuts when you login to https://membership.pumpingstationone.org), and find a locker. If it is empty, AND unlabeled, AND not claimed in the table below, then stick your name on it with a piece of tape, make sure the registry below reflects your new locker (do not remove old names without consulting MMT via info@pumpingstationone.org), and enjoy. Occasional audits take place so make sure your name is legible and matches your membership profile. If you prefer to remain anonymous, you can write your User ID instead. '''

'''Do not remove names from this list, or labels on shelves, or any items from shelves. If you believe a shelf should be open but ANY of those are present, contact info@pumpingstationone.org and ask for an audit.'''

== Catwalk Shelf Registry ==

''' -Alpha Alpha designations refer to mini shelves used for PS1 official projects '''

The catwalk is where some of our [[member leased server Systems]] infrastructure are located. Additionally, member shelves are on the catwalk.

'''Please do not store items on the catwalk, except on member shelves. Loose items will be ticketed'''

On the catwalk, numbering starts with the upper left shelf and goes down, then across.

Authorizations

2025-10-31T15:28:05Z

Makelemonade: Explanation that authorization scheduling and sign up varies greatly.

{{ambox|type=content|text=<span style="color:#800000">'''Notice, March 2024 -</span> Confirm authorizations on [[Discord]] first'''<br>
Post pandemic, we're (slowly) updating old authorization info. If there's a <span style="color: SteelBlue ;font-weight: bold; ">blue Authorization Course Info box</span> on this page or a tool's page, the authorization course info in that box should be up-to-date. Otherwise, any other info you find should be considered out of date. Confirm in the appropriate area channel on Discord if the info is correct or not.}}
==What is an authorization?==
[[File:Authorization-required.png|thumb]]
[[File:Sample auth sticker.png|thumb]]
'''Any tool more dangerous than a soldering iron requires authorization before use''', these are marked with an "Authorization Required - Do Not Hack" sticker like the one pictured. Authorizations are how we keep each other safe and maintain our tools for the community, this is why '''authorizations are still required even if a member has prior knowledge of how to use a specific tool'''. ''Be cool, get authed''.

Note that the process for getting authorized varies greatly between different tools/areas, affected by:

<li> Whether a canvas course exists or not.
<li> How frequently people are interested in a specific authorization. Some are scheduled, some are at member's requests, some are "we haven't done this in awhile".
<li> The authorizer's preferred method of contact.

===I want to get authorized, the crash course===
<ol><li> '''Read''' [[How Do I Get Authorized?]]
<li> '''Find''' the authorization info in one of these ways:
<ul><li> Scan the QR on the "Authorization Required" sticker on the tool, see example above
<li> Search for the tool's wiki page
<li> Or look through the list on this page
<li> <li>
</ul>
<li>'''Follow the instructions in the blue authorization notice box''', see example below
<ul><li> If the blue authorization notice box is missing, ask on [[Discord]] for confirmation the instructions on the page are still accurate</li>
<li>Some authorizations are regularly scheduled while others are by appointment. To schedule a by appointment authorization, members may post in the relevant [[Discord]] channel, or contact a volunteer authorizer directly.</li>
<li>Note that authorizations requiring a Canvas course, only show you the schedule after you complete the course. Even then sometimes (especially Woodshop) the authorizations are booked up for that month.</li></ul>
<li> '''Complete the authorization'''
<li> Required: '''Make something cool!'''
</ol>

Please help us out by letting area hosts (or [https://discord.com/channels/1270929620224704544/1308619569828593775 #wiki-love]) know if the information on this page needs to be updated. You are also welcome to update this wiki page yourself. Thanks!

==== ShopBot====
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the toolpath and control software. This class is unlimited capacity and generally open to the public. The software-only class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.

CURRENT UPDATES

[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lo9PNANkkx4Dl1Sy7DjJ_oA8nAStV7FFLykrrypabKM/edit?usp=sharing * CLICK TO VIEW CURRENT STATUS OF ALL LASER SYSTEMS] *

== Software ==
=== RDWorksV8 ===
*The software that drives the Boss laser from the attached computer is called RDWorksV8, the version that is appropriate to use is '''8.01.18'''. That is not the most recent version of the software, but it is the most recent approved version for PS1. It is available for free download if you'd like to set up your files prior to coming to use the laser.
*If you are having issues with loading RDWorks files, verify that you are using the correct version of the software as they are not backwards compatible.
*If RDWorks is missing from your start menu or desktop, or your old shortcut to RDWorks doesn't work, you can find the program at start/C:/Program Files/RDWorks. You can open the program by clicking the RDWorksV8 application in that folder.
** '''DO NOT MOVE THAT APP TO YOUR OWN DESKTOP.''' or everyone will lose access to it.
** If you'd like to add a shortcut to your desktop right click on the application>create shortcut and place the shortcut on your desktop.

=== Lightburn ===
*Lightburn is a paid/licensed software and is very similar to RDWorks but with a cleaner user experience and improved set of features.
*Computer updates can sometimes wipe the license. You can reactivate the local license using the copy of the license found on the root of the C:\ drive of the Boss' computer.

===== Device Setup: =====
You will need to add the machine settings to Lightburn to communicate with the Boss.

In the Laser panel in the lower left corner click on Devices

In the popup window click Create Manually.

* The controller type is Ruida.
* The connection type is Serial/USB.
* Give the device a name "Boss"
* The work area is X: 1400mm Y: 900mm.
* The machine origin is the Right Rear.

Once you create the device configuration and the machine is turned on Lightburn should display Ready just above the Pause button.

== Usage Policy ==

The laser cutter is easily one of the most used machines at PS1. Due to this demand we request the cooperation of all members to share the laser cutter and associated computer. First and foremost, the practice "being excellent" should be observed at all times; respect yourself, other members, and the equipment. This is a usage policy so that everyone can use the laser:

* Any user not actively test cutting or cutting will cede the computer and laser to the next person waiting in line, as soon as that waiting user notifies the current computer user. If you are still designing your file, please do so on another computer. Artastic (another PC upstairs) in the Crafts Area also has a copy of Adobe Illustrator.
* If someone is waiting in line to use the laser, no active test cut or cut series shall be longer than 1 hour. No jobs will be allowed to start that overrun the 1 hour time limit when a new user is waiting.
* In the case that your last cut is longer than the 1 hour time limit, and a waiting user presents themselves after the cut has started, the cut job shall be allowed to finish and the waiting user will be allowed to set up their file in their own user account, during the cutting period.
* Continuous cutting shall not exceed 3 consecutive hours without a half hour break for the laser to cool. Note that you must leave the air assist/cooling switch on to keep the cooling running during this break. If a new user arrives before or during the cooling period the current user shall cede the laser to the next user, and the next user will wait for the cooling period to finish and the cooling period shall not count towards the 1 hours limit should another user present themselves.
* Waiting users shall notify the current user verbally that they are waiting and where they will be waiting until it is their turn. If multiple users are waiting, the next waiting user must start their test cutting or cut job within 10 minutes of being notified of a laser opening. The current user will keep a record of who is waiting, where they will be, and notify subsequent users of the status of the queue. The current user will find the next waiting user and verbally inform them that the laser is available.

== Authorization ==

Authorization for the laser is not virtual, meaning you must fill out this [https://forms.gle/9HSYAVLtJuPLWixXA Sign Up Form] to schedule an onsite authorization.

The laser volunteers will be notified automatically after the form is submitted. You will then be contacted when the next authorization is scheduled. (approx. every 2 weeks at the authorizers discretion)

If no authorizations are scheduled in the next 30 days, then post on #lasers slack channel; look for a recent thread about laser authorizations and post there.

Please review the wiki and the reference materials before attending an authorization.

If you have other questions after the reviewing the wiki and reaching out on #lasers slack channel please contact laser-auths@pumpingstationone.org

====Area Host====
* [[wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Category:CNC]]

====Volunteer authorizers:====
*Jeff Zelnio

=== Preparing yourself to become authorized ===

You need a few things to optimize and expedite your experience:

* 1. Know what you're doing as best as you can - come pre-trained on your own time to make the authorization go smoother and faster.
* 2. Have a PS1 username set up before starting the authorization http://membership.pumpingstationone.org

* 3. Have some familiarity with the kinds of files you would bring to the Boss to cut.

To that end; you could download and become familiar a bit with RDWorks, the software you will use to drive the Boss. Links are on this page.
You can read a bit of the manual, which is also linked on this page, or watch some YouTube videos.

Bring files in from Adobe Illustrator in Illustrator format, with lines set to have SOME sort of stroke, I'd recommend 1 point stroke, and some simple color applied to the stroke for each "layer" you want to have in RDWorks. You will want to have one color/layer assigned for each type or strength of cut/engrave you'll be doing in that job. For instance, you might want a deep engraving, a shallow engraving, a cut that goes all the way through the material and maybe a cut that just barely touches the top surface (called a 'kiss cut) and that would mean you would need four distinct colors of stroke used in your file. You should investigate the usefullness of SVG, DXF and DWG files as well, but Illustrator files will give you the best first experiences.

Authorizations will be limited to small groups, e.g. 4 or less, due to nature of the equipment.

== Troubleshooting ==
* Grinding noise; TBD; was grinding, but grinding stopped once the head was moved away from the sensors and the machine restarted.
* There is a small yellow proximity sensor just behind and to the right of the "head" when it returns to home position.
* If the sensor gets pushed out of position, off at an angle, then the grinding will happen. If you return it to vertical, this will stop and it will return to home without complaining.
* RDWorks is already installed on the machine for everyone to use, but you might have to find it by clicking Start/C:/Program Files/RDWorks and add a shortcut to your own desktop, start menu, or taskbar.
* Don't move the RDWorks instance that you find ... you will disable other users' shortcuts that they've made on their desktop, start menu or taskbar. If you can't get the instance to work, get help from an admin; it's probably been moved somewhere awkward by another user.
* Software requests an admin password; you may be using the most current version of the RD Works software, but maybe you shouldn't.
* The current version has some bugs, evidently, so use the tip hidden below under "resources" to fix the problem for you.
* You should be using RDWorksV8, version 8.01.18
* If the language for RDWorks (the Boss control software) is showing garbage, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwhQ2xzV1xo&feature=youtu.be follow this video].

== Settings ==
[[Boss_Laser_Settings|Laser Settings Page]]

* Honeycomb vs. Aluminum Lamella : The honeycomb is used for engraving and pieces that benefit from precise leveling. Use the aluminum lamella (slats under honeycomb) for cutting through to reduce flashback and improve airflow (warning small pieces will fall through).

* 4" Lens Focus Depth 38.5mm (this is a just an approximate, FD calibration must be performed each time the lens is changed)
* 2" Lens Focus Depth 5.3mm (this is a just an approximate, FD calibration must be performed each time the lens is changed)

== Procedures ==
[[BOSS Usage]]

[[BOSS Maintenance]]

=== Powering On Machine ===
* Check Fire Extinguisher
* Release Emergency Stop button
* Turn power key
* Turn on air assist & water chiller Switch & ensure both are functioning
* Turn on exhaust switch and ensure it is functioning. (Gray Switch to the left of the machine)

=== Powering Off Machine ===
* Turn key to off position, leave key in the lock
* Push emergency stop button in
* Turn the chiller, blower and air assist off using the main switch (switch with identifying lasercut plate)
* Reset the area by cleaning up any stray cut materials. Clean and straighten the area around the laser.

== Material Safety & Information ==
WARNING: Because many plastics are dangerous to cut, it is important to know what kind you are planning to use. If you are unsure of your materials composition, don’t cut it with the laser. You can request a SDS from your material supplier for specific information on the plastic you have or are considering using.

=== NEVER CUT THESE MATERIALS ===
** Any material containing chlorine:
***PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride)
***Vinyl
***Pleather
***Artificial leather
**Plastics:
*** Polycarbonate/Lexan – [Thick ( >1mm )]
*** ABS
*** HDPE/milk bottle plastic
** Foams:
*** PolyStyrene Foam
*** PolyPropylene Foam
*** Gatorfoam (fire prone)
*** PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol)
** Other:
*** Epoxy
*** Fiberglass
*** Coated Carbon Fiber
***Any foodstuff ( such as meat, seaweed 'nori' sheets, bread, tortillas... )

=== Safe Materials for Cutting ===
** Plastics:
*** Acrylic (also known as Plexiglas, Lucite, PMMA)
*** Delrin (POM, acetal)
*** Kapton tape (Polyimide)
*** Mylar (polyester)
*** Nylon – melts badly
*** Styrene
*** Two-tone acrylic – top color different than core material, usually for custom instrumentation panels, signs, and plaques.
** Foam:
*** Depron foam – often used for RC planes.
*** EPM
*** <s>Gator foam – foam core gets burned and eaten away compared to the top and bottom hard shell.</s> ''(Removed due to fire prone)''
** Other:
*** Cloths (leather, suede, felt, hemp, cotton)
*** Papers
*** Rubbers (only if they do not contain chlorine Teflon (PTFE, Polytetrafluoroethylene)
*** Woods (MDF, balsa, birch, poplar, red oak, cherry, holly, etc.)

==== Aligning Materials ====

** The table is not aligned with the laser's X-Y axis
** To align your material use the laser pointer by holding one axis constant while moving along the other axis to align corners of your material

== Laser Materials and the Woodshop Table-Saw Saw-stop ==

*Conductive materials such as aluminum and other metals, carbon fiber materials, mirrored acrylic, carbon-filled materials, etc. will typically cause the brake to activate.
*Carbon from lasered wood or lasered plywood is also conductive and will trigger the saw stop. do not use the table saw to cut your material. Once you have lasered a piece of wood,
**The band saw can be used instead for both mirrored acrylic and lasered wood. Use safety goggles when using the bandsaw in general, but especially when using it to cut acrylic. (NOTE: authorization is required for the table saw and the bandsaw, so attending a woodshop authorization might be a good idea).

== Resources ==

The proprietary LaserWORKS software can be downloaded from BOSS here - https://www.bosslaser.com/laser-software/ However, the current version (8.01.28) of the laser software seems to require admin rights every time it's used. So instead you may want to download the [https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=35522 8.01.18 version of the software] until this is fixed.

== Cleaning, Alignment & Maintenance ==

General info below. More here: [[wiki.pumpingstationone.org/BOSS_Maintenance]]

* Clean out air filter once a week using the Shopvac.
* Sometimes the nozzle itself can get clogged with soot & debris so make sure to clean that out as well.
* Advanced maintenance is performed by trained volunteers. Please do not attempt to align or diagnose the Boss unless you have clearance from the Laser Area Host.

== Use checklist ==
PS1 is experimenting with the use of checklists to encourage the safe use and proper care of tools in the workspace. The latest version of the [[checklists]] for this tool is stored as a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zxrvQX0DXaLxaXkaKCKpZ-PAgnDak6ezKKBkdu_Fw1U/edit?usp=sharing Google Doc] that can be edited by anyone. If you make changes, update the effective date at the bottom of the document. Print a new copy, and replace the old one.

Physical checklists are necessarily constrained in length. Following is a more extensive pre-flight checklist:

* Has the spindle warmup routine been run within the past 4 hours, or someone else was using the machine?
* Did you home the machine?
* Is the dust collect gate open?
* Are you sure you have the right X, Y orientation for your file and material?
* Did you set the proper X,Y zero for your work piece on the Shopbot.
* Is the correct bit installed and tight?
* Is the key in and turned on?
* Is the dust skirt set right so it does not get smashed.
* Is Z zero set to the work top?
* Are the touch plate and clip returned?
* Is the material properly secured?
* Open the Shopbot spindle control dialog (Tools > Spindle RPM Control)
* Safety glasses, hearing protection on.
* Start the job with the E-Stop ready to hit.
* Turn on dust collector ( I like to wait so I can hear that things sound right on the shopbot before turning on the collector)

=== Spoilboard! ===
Gouging the spoilboard affects all users. It most often happens for two reasons.

# Using the top of your workpiece to set the Z axis and your workpiece height is incorrectly set. Plywood is almost never the exact height specified - 3/4" plywood is .7 inches tall instead of .75 inches tall, for example.
# Bits slipping. Check the collet for embedded sawdust - it can stop the collet from tightening sufficiently. Also, stressing the bit so it vibrates can cause the collet to momentarily and repeatedly lose grip.

A few tracks from the bit grazing the spoilboard is understandable. Gouges are not.

== How to Get Authorized ==
[https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org/courses/69 Canvas has a course] to help you get started with 2D CNC (requires login). There are two tiers of classes to be authorized. Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 authorizations can be [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ found in the calendar].
=Scheduling and Reservations=

We will be using the PS1 Skedda platform for scheduling ShopBot time.

Click this [https://pumpingstationone.skedda.com/register?key=11373bf&payload=CfDJ8AhWcCKz7g1DjwN6myjap4cdIEdLCUN78whkwElLjg7vhdI_Fm7_PGyoWzpgWFi1yae6LzzqVdM8dC7bNqpUHlonT2HhMFbiBWr5rLkaT2cXgL-GZPhljdRVuCTgnUUd2g link] to sign up or sign in and make a reservation. Select any available time and click the plus button or the green BOOK button to reserve your time on the machine.

The guidelines are as below and only those who are fully authorized may access the scheduler.

'''ShopBot Scheduling Guidelines'''

* You must show up within 15 minutes of your start time, or lose your slot.
* Please cancel your slot ASAP if you know you're not going to make it.
* Reservations can be made from 2 weeks out to 12 hours before the time you would like to schedule.
* No unreserved use.
* Please account for clean-up time in your reservation and be considerate of others when scheduling as there is no current time length limit for reservations.
* If you finish your time early, end your appointment so others know the machine is free.

'''Abuse'''

* The schedule is a privilege. User making a habit of not using their scheduled times, or cancelling last minute are subject to losing privileges.
* Last minute cancellations make it difficult for others to plan ahead.

== Authorization Checklist ==

This is here as a checklist for proctors to follow when authorizing people. It can also help remind you of things after you are authorized. Just reading this does not authorizing you.

* How to get authorized
** Watch [http://www.meetup.com/Pumping-Station-One/ the meetup group] for a recurring class on the second Thursday and last Sunday of the month. Sometimes check [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pumping-station-one the forum] for announcements or ask on the forum if no announcements have been made for a few weeks.

* Authorization group size
** There is no cap to the software instruction preceding the machine usage portion of the class. If you come to this portion it is easier to get fully authorized at a later date.
** 3 machine users - each person will run a job (~1/2 hr each) and everyone will assist each other in completing a job profile and pocket cut. You must be present for the entire authorization

* Safety
** Safety Glasses
** Hearing Protection
** Dust Protection

* What can go wrong (and what to do)

* How does machine work
** Axes
** Motors
** Spindle

* Daily Maintenance
** Spindle bearing warm up.
*** The "C5" warm up routine should be run on the first job of the day. It runs the spindle at 3 speeds for 3 minutes each to warm up the bearings. (When it doubt, warm it up)

* Extended Maintenance
** See maintenance schedule file under documentation.
** Grease the racks
** Use Grease type: Manual states any type is safe there is some in the draw

* Machine Control
** Turn on sequence
*** Log into computer
*** Turn on Shopbot big red and yellow twist switch (see zeroing below)
*** Insert Key and turn to "engaged" position.
*** The VDF should light up, the spindle fan should be on.
*** Start "Shopbot 3" program.
*** Open Tools...Spindle RPM Control menu (to allow RPM control)
**** Make sure collet is tightened or no tool or nut is installed
**** Run the C5 warm up routine
** Jogging
*** Keypad
*** Arrow Keys + Page Up, Page Down (ctrl for fast jog)

* CAM Software
** Vectric V Carve
** Just the basics...separate class for advanced V Carve.
** Online videos

* Running your Job
** Zeroing X & Y
*** With machine off slow push gantry towards X0 until it hits hard stops (optional)
*** Turn on big red switch while still holding gantry.
*** Jog machine away from X0 Y0 so machine will find switches
*** Click X, Y zero button.
** Zeroing Z (top of work piece)
*** Jog over your work piece
*** Place Z zero plate on work piece under the bit
*** Place clip on bit
*** Test connection by touching plate to bit and watch for light #1 to light
*** Click the Z 0 button (it will touch off twice!!!)
*** If Z is critical, you may want to verify that your bit has been zeroed properly by using a "MZ,0" command over the surface you have zeroed the bit to. Repeat zeroing if not correct.

* Waste Board and clamping

* Collets, Bits, Feeds and Speeds
** Feeds and Speeds
*** Use a Cut Load Calculator to determine which feeds and speeds you should be using for your specific bits. An overview is avaialble at: [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pumping-station-one/vUF3iKRQ9yc/_qNnLXzZ3QcJ]
** Collets
*** We currently have collets for 1/2, 3/8, 1/4, 3/16 and 1/8" shank bits.
*** Try to keep them clean and store them away from dust between uses. Dust between the gaps will produce runout. The drawer mounted under the Shopbot is the right place to store these items.
*** If the collet nuts are not threading smoothly try cleaning the threads with a small brush, spindle threads as well.
** Bits
*** Use bits designed for the material you are cutting. Don't just steal a bits from the Bridgeport. They won't do a good job and will probably overheat.
*** For cutting out things, use the smallest appropriate bit. Using a 1/2" bit to cutout will just create a lot of mess.

* ShopBot should not be used for...
** Metals
** Cutting anything that requires coolant or lubricant (it will ruin the waste board)
** Ripping lumber (use the table saw)
** Thickness Planning (Use the planner if you can)
** Drilling holes with drill bits (a small end mill works better)

* How to leave the machine (be excellent)
** Machine
*** Home the machine to X0, Y0
*** Turn off both switches
*** Remove Key
*** Remove bit and collet.
*** Place both collet wrenches on top of electronics box
*** clean up work area
*** Smooth out waste board if you puckered it at all.
*** Check if the dust collector needs to be emptied

** Post a picture on our [[Blog]] please!

== List of Currently Authorized Users ==

If you have been authorized but cannot log in, request to be added to the "ShopBot Authorized" Samba group (send an email to info (at) pumpingstationone.org with your username and the name of the person who certified you) so that your login works. If you don't have a log-in on https://members.pumpingstationone.org/ you will have issues here - sign up on that site first if you haven't already.

= ShopBot PRS #10108 96-48 =

* [http://www.shopbottools.com/mProducts/prSstandard.htm OEM website and specs]
* Nominal Cutting Area 96"x 48"x 6" (2.44m x 1.22m x .15m)
* Total Movement Area 102" x 50" x 8" (2.59m x 1.27m x .20m)
* Max spindle speed: 18000 RPM
* Min spindle speed: 4100 RPM

The spindle uses ER25 collets. These eventually wear out, so check before using them. Collets are a durable expendable.

Some people buy their own collets, which may be worth it as it helps prevent slips and ruined jobs. There are a number of suppliers of collets, nuts, and related accessories. [http://www.techniksusa.com/ Techniks] and [http://www.shars.com/ Shars] are both brands that have been recommended by experienced CNC users, although other brands may also be of equivalent price and quality:

=Status=

June 2020: Keyed switch replaced.

August 2017: Dust collection system out of commission.

June 2017: There is an intermittent break in the wiring for the Z-axis Zero Plate. Check for continuity before using (the #1 input should light up on screen when you touch the contacts together). It usually works near the front of the table, but not halfway back. This will get fixed eventually, but it's a good idea to be in the habit of checking.

12/27/16 - Fixed Shopbot x-axis homing. The cable had been pulled on hard enough that some of the conductors broke inside the cable. It has been spliced, soldered, and heatshrinked back together.

|Created new AutoDesk Fusion 360 Post Processor. Modified Vectric Post Processors.
|Created new Fusion 360 Post Processor. It includes the changes listed below for the Vectric Post Processors. For Vectric, modified the Post Processors so that if the spindle does not spin up, it gives the user a Retry/Cancel dialog box instead of Abort/Retry/Ignore where Ignore is identical to Retry. Also, these Post Processors broke the Preview mode in the ShopBot software because the preview mode did the real spindle check and it failed because, of course, the spindle wasn't running. The new version will ignore the spindle check in preview mode.
|-
|11/8/2014
|Ryan Pierce
|Updated VCarve Post Processor
|Previously, installed new Post Processor to preset an Abort / Retry / Ignore dialog box when the spindle is started but doesn't spin up. Usual culprit is that a job is started when the the interlock is disabled, which results in the non-spinning bit crashing into the workpiece. Abort stops the job. Today, fixed Retry code. If you power on the VFD and the motor start is enabled, the VFD refuses to start. So I've re-programmed the Retry button to stop the VFD, wait 2 seconds, start the VFD, wait 2 more seconds, and check again to see if it is running. The Ignore button actually acts as Retry because we don't want someone clicking through this dialog box and damaging the machine. NOTE: The Aspire PC in the shop also has this Post Processor, but if you use Aspire, VCarve Pro, etc. on your personal computer, you will need the latest Post Processor to support this safety check.
|-

|Ryan Pierce
|Updated ShopBot software
|Did upgrade from 3.8.14 to 3.8.26. Installed latest firmware on ShopBot controller. (This was mandatory.) Two features of interest: Fixed occasional erractic behavior after repeated Stops and Resumes (and Nudges or Command Insertions). Reduced liklihood of Keypad lockup.
|-
|5/31/2015
|Ron Olson
|Created new VCarve Post Processors
|For drag/engraving bits, it's important that the spindle be turned '''off''' so as to not destroy the bit. Instead of manually modifying the sbp every time to remove the check that the spindle is turned on, I created a couple of new post processors (inches and mm, similar to Ryan's), that explicitly ''turn off'' the spindle. The user is given two opportunities to cancel the job if that is not what he/she wants.
|-

== Outstanding Maintenance Issues ==

=== Lack of True E-Stop ===
As shipped, the ShopBot PRS does not support an Emergency Stop. This could be hacked, but it runs the risk of damaging the machine if engaged in a non-emergency situation. Suggested solution: Installing a 10A double pole 24V coil DIN mount relay, and powering the coil via the 24V supply through a normally closed E-Stop button. One pole will disconnect the 63V stepper motor current. One pole will break the control signal that enables the VFD and will cause the VFD to brake to a stop.

=== Limit Switch Issues ===
Every time you start the ShopBot, it resets itself so that the limit switches are disabled! You can turn them on (if memory serves) with the Values -> Input Switch Assignment menu item. Limit switches are really useful - but they need to be enabled. When they are, they will stop manual jogging when the limit is hit (although pressing the key again will let you continue moving the gantry) and they will also stop a running job (but give you the option of ignoring the limits.)

I found a couple more problems when testing all the limits. When I took the gantry to X maximum, the dust collector hose pulled off! I put it back on, but I'm not sure how stable this is. Also, when I originally set the Y maximum and minimum, I wanted as much spindle travel as possible. But it appears that if you're at the Y max and move in the X direction, you can hit the middle support with the dust collector boot. We've got several inches Y travel beyond the nominal 48", so we may want to look into reducing this to clear the supports.

== Description ==

This is a heat press for transferring dye sublimation prints to mugs. The [[Epson_SureColor_F170]] is our current dye sublimation printer.

== Guide ==

# Turn on to 400°.
# Tape the heat transfer paper using klapton (amber colored) tape.
# Wait a little after it has reached temperature for the heat to saturate.
# Put in the mug, clamp it closed.
# The temperature will drop to 350°, maybe lower.
# Keep in the press until it reaches 400°
# Optionally keep for 20 seconds after it's reached 400°
# Remove and set aside. (Do I really need to tell you that it'll be hot, be careful?)

Alternate:
Use 380° and leave for 2 minutes. Can unclamp and turn the mug. Using a longer press is better, otherwise the hot parts of the heat pad resistor will form lines because the temperature didn't spread enough. (Burton)

=== Color Profile ===
[[File:Mug_sublimation_experiment.icm.zip]]

For Mac, you'll need to install this in your /Library/Colorsync/Profiles directory.

For Windows, you will need to install the icc profile in the "c:\windows\system32\drivers\spool\color" directory.

In the affinity or adobe application, after you have installed the icc profile, you should be able to use a dropdown in the color management section of the print dialogue to select the profile you installed. You can then hit the 'print' button in that dialogue.

==Authorization==
No authorization needed if you have programmed a glass kiln before. Otherwise, talk to Burton.

==Use==
The first two programming slots are free to use. The rest are reserved.

[https://pumpingstationone.skedda.com/register?key=11373bf&payload=CfDJ8AhWcCKz7g1DjwN6myjap4cdIEdLCUN78whkwElLjg7vhdI_Fm7_PGyoWzpgWFi1yae6LzzqVdM8dC7bNqpUHlonT2HhMFbiBWr5rLkaT2cXgL-GZPhljdRVuCTgnUUd2g Schedule the kiln use here.]

The manual is [https://www.olympickilns.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/RTC_1000_Control.pdf available here].

The heating element buzzes when first heating up. This is normal. If the buzzing comes from within the controller, please let us know, that's a sign of the relay failing.

DO NOT open the kiln when the temperature is above 500°. This shortens the life of the firebrick and causes firebrick grit to fall in on the glass.

'''Note that the primary reason for failed firings is too fast of a ramp time on larger pieces. Glass is a bit of an insulator until molten, so heating it too fast stress cracks it. It will shatter apart.'''

Mimaki CJV30-160

2025-06-12T14:24:33Z

| serial=SERIAL NUMBER
| arrived= 14/01/23
| where=Arts
| certification=yes

| hackable=no
| value=$10000
| image = Cjv30.jpg
| hostarea = 2D Printing
| doesitwork=yes
}}

==Status==

== Description ==
A large format printer with integrated plotter and cutter that uses SS21 eco-solvent inks. This thing does it all, from printing on a seemingly endless number of media to plotting (both cutter and pen).
<br>
All the way from bog-standard paper to fancy wallpaper, to car-wraps - there is very little this monster cannot print on.

==Reminders==
* If you change the pinch roller thickness to high, change it back.
* NEVER tape media to itself. Always use a piece of paper wrapped around the media and tape the paper to itself.
==Features==
So many

==Rasterlink Software==
Only one instance of Mimaki Rasterlink6 can be running on the computer. Closing it might not truly close it, so it's left running. Ideally you log off after using the computer so you don't accidentally block others from working.

If you try starting Rasterlink, and nothing happens, probably someone else left it running. The fix is to restart the computer.

There may be multiple jobs already in the software. You can press ctrl-A then delete to remove them.

==Printing==
Media is up to 63.7" (1,620 mm) wide.

The CJV30-160 is capable of printing up to 1440x1440dpi depending on the media profile. Our house media profiles have these resolutions:
* Photo papers - 1440x1440
* Canvas - 540x720
* Vinyl is at 720x720.

Note, not every profile has every option available to change.

When setting up the print:
* Passes, want higher, 12 or better best
* High speed scanning is about 1 min per linear foot
* Normal speed scanning is 5 min per linear foot
These settings all affect how consistent the color is.

==Cutting==

The CJV30-160 is also capable of performing print and cut operations. Ideal for small runs of stickers or labels. These need to be set up in Illustrator (or another vector image editor of your choice) before being loaded into Rasterlink as a PDF.

If you are not using Illustrator you will need to create two spot colors in your image editor as follows:

Name: CutContour
Cyan: 0%
Yellow: 100%
Magenta: 100%
Black: 0%

Name: CutContour1
Cyan: 0%
Yellow: 100%
Magenta: 100%

==== Helpful Notes ====

* The CJV30 measures the media by the outside pinch rollers and not the actual media.

* After loading the paper (as explained thoroughly in the Canvas Course), press the "Remote" button. This will allow Rasterlink to connect to the printer. Once connected you should press the button that's shaped like a recycle icon, just with 2 arrows instead of 3. This will set the paper width, which you can see in that general area.
* To feed and cut: In local mode you can use the up/down arrows to position the paper, then press the Function button, the only option available will be Cut. Press select to cut off the full width paper roll at the cut line. The a small paper taped on the wall behind the printer with the steps.

==Status==
'''Cutting Offline Until Re-Calibration'''

== Description ==
A large format printer with integrated plotter and cutter that uses SS21 eco-solvent inks. This thing does it all, from printing on a seemingly endless number of media to plotting (both cutter and pen).
<br>
All the way from bog-standard paper to fancy wallpaper, to car-wraps - there is very little this monster cannot print on.

==Reminders==
* If you change the pinch roller thickness to high, change it back.
* NEVER tape media to itself. Always use a piece of paper wrapped around the media and tape the paper to itself.
==Features==
So many
===Printing===
Media is up to 63.7" (1,620 mm) wide.

The CJV30-160 is capable of printing up to 1440x1440dpi depending on the media profile. Our house media profiles have these resolutions:
* Photo papers - 1440x1440
* Canvas - 540x720
* Vinyl is at 720x720.

Note, not every profile has every option available to change.

==Cutting==

The CJV30-160 is also capable of performing print and cut operations. Ideal for small runs of stickers or labels. These need to be set up in Illustrator (or another vector image editor of your choice) before being loaded into Rasterlink as a PDF.

If you are not using Illustrator you will need to create two spot colors in your image editor as follows:

Name: CutContour
Cyan: 0%
Yellow: 100%
Magenta: 100%
Black: 0%

Name: CutContour1
Cyan: 0%
Yellow: 100%

Makelemonade: REferred to the authorizations page for cold metals

The Cold Metals Area is one of the [https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/Category:Hosted_Areas Hosted Areas] here at PS:One.
{{Infobox HostedArea
| image = Cold_Metals.JPG
| areaname = Metal Shop
| hostedsince =
| location = Back corner
| toolcategory = [[:Category:Shop Equipment]]
| hostname = Dave Solomon
| hostphone =
| hostemail = coldmetals@pumpingstationone.org
| hostother =

| hostcerts = see below
}}

==Safety==

*Safety glasses with side shields are required when operating machines or when in the vicinity of operating machines.

*Gloves are not allowed when operating machines. Gloves are dangerous near rotating parts/tools.

If you see someone using the equipment improperly, either show them how to do it right, or ask them to stop and seek certification. Please notify the Area Host if anyone is abusing, damaging, or messing with the tools in an inappropriate fashion.

If the smoke/CO2 detector goes off, stop what you are doing. Do not shut it off and go back to work until you take a break for at least 15 minutes to be sure there aren't any harmful fumes.

== Area Rules==

*Safety first - Use at minimum the required safety gear for the tool you are using. Know where the closest fire extinguisher is as well as the first aid kit. And pay attention to what you are doing.
*Clean up after yourself - sweep, throw out little garbage bits, put large scrap pieces in the scrap storage locations.
*Workbenches should be cleared as a courtesy to the next member.
*Label your projects - Name, phone number, email, and date it each time you work on it.
*Put things back when you're done - Lets try to make sure everyone can find the tool they are looking for once you are finished.
*Respect all the tools - They are hungry beasts and will maim you. Don't be goofing off in the shop. Only use tools you are certified to use.
*If something breaks, put a note on it and contact the Area Host, don't just leave it for the next person to find.
* Make awesome things!

==Project Storage==

Follow tidy space policy.

==Tools Available==

See "Pages in category"

All equipment in the workshop has been tagged [[:Category:Shop Equipment]].

All equipment requires certification to be used. Please see the individual tool pages for information on who can certify you to use these tools.

Requests for additional equipment are available at [[Machine Shop Wishlist|Metalshop Wishlist]].

tool inventory worksheet https://1drv.ms/x/s!ApA4uHxvFYG5mBg-C9t7AgkRBGdL?e=yWIYv4

==Using the tools==

If it belongs to PS:One, please be nice to the tools. If they belong to a member who is awesome enough to loan us their personal gear, make sure you treat it extra nice and also, get their permission first.

Please be respectful and aware of others working in the shop at the same time you are. If you are throwing sparks, throw them away from other people. If you are walking around with hot metal, say something so others know where you are and don't get branded. If you are going to start making a lot of noise, let other people know so they can get some ear protection, don't just deafen them.

==Authorizations==

There are several categories of authorizations in the machine shop.

*[https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Tier_1_Cold_Metals_Authorization Cold Metals Tier 1] - the non-precision machines. This includes the Johnson horizontal bandsaw, the DoAll vertical bandsaw, and the Rockwell drill press. See [[Authorizations|Cold Metals authorizations]]
*Bridgeport Mill: Cold Metals Tier 1 authorization and the [https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org/courses/70 Bridgeport Canvas course] are prerequisites.
*Clausing lathe: Cold Metals Tier 1 authorization is a prerequisite. Contact [https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Volunteer_Positions#Clausing_Lathe Anna Yu] to schedule.

== Authorizers ==
''Main article: [[Volunteer Authorizer]]''

Getting authorized on tools can be tough. Sometimes it's hard for new members to figure out how to get authorized, sometimes classes fill up in hours, sometimes classes aren't scheduled regularly. We want to fix that. The Board has created the following Volunteer Positions. We need a few members to step up and offer their time to get people authorized.

Please see the [[Authorizations|Authorizations page]] to actually sign up for authorizations.

Olympic Glass Kiln

2025-06-04T22:52:55Z

Makelemonade: /* Firing Schedules */

{{Template:EquipmentPage
|owner = [Burton Kent]
|hostarea = Category:Small_Metals
|certification = yes
|hackable = no
|model = SQUARE 146GFE
|serial = T0642
|arrived = 1/27/2025
|where = Small Metals Kiln Niche

|contact = Burton Kent
|value = $800
|image = Burtons_Glass_Kiln.jpg
}}
==Authorization==
No authorization needed if you have programmed a glass kiln before. Otherwise, talk to Burton.

==Use==
The first two programming slots are free to use. The rest are reserved.

The manual is [https://www.olympickilns.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/RTC_1000_Control.pdf available here].

The heating element buzzes when first heating up. This is normal. If the buzzing comes from within the controller, please let us know, that's a sign of the relay failing.

DO NOT open the kiln when the temperature is above 500°. This shortens the life of the firebrick and causes firebrick grit to fall in on the glass.

==Reference==

===Firing Schedules===
[https://www.bullseyeglass.com/idealized-firing-graph/ Overview of firing schedule].

[https://www.bullseyeglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/technotes_04.pdf Explanation of what happens at each stage of the firing schedule]

[https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0784/2178/6951/files/Basic_Firing_Schedules_2023.pdf Bullseye/COE90 firing schedule]. Note that the scrap glass we have at PS1 is Bullseye.

'''Note that the primary reason for failed firings is too fast of a ramp time on larger pieces. Glass is a bit of an insulator until molten, so heating it too fast stress cracks it. It will shatter apart.'''

===Misc===
[https://www.bullseyeglass.com/index-of-articles Bullseye Tech Notes] are pretty good.]

=== Fabrics ===
==== Local ====
* [http://www.joann.com Joann Fabrics And Crafts] Large source of fabrics, sewing supplies and craft materials. Locations: See website for your nearest local retail store. (Closest to PS:One is just south in the mall at Elston & Logan, near Microcenter.)
* [http://www.voguefabricsstore.com Vogue Fabrics] One of the best fabric stores in the area, arguably one of the best in the Midwest. Wide selection of fabric for clothing and home decor. Also have corset-making supplies and a wide range of patterns from independent pattern companies. The store in Evanston on Main Street (near the Main St. CTA station) is better than the one on Roosevelt Road.
* [http://www.fishmansfabrics.com Fishman's Fabrics] High end fabric for clothing and home decor. These days the retail store is more of a showroom for their wholesale business so in many cases you are shopping from swatches, but still a good store. Just off Roosevelt Road east of the highway, near the Roosevelt Road Vogue Fabrics and Binny's South Loop.
* [http://www.paragear.com/ ParaGear] Parachute fabrics and cords. Basically anything used on a parachute. Location: Skokie, IL
* [http://theleonardadlerco.com The Leonard Adler Company] "Sewn product construction necessities." Wondering where the local tailoring/alterations shop goes to get things like rolls of elastic, bolts of interfacing, and boxes of buttons? They almost certainly get it all from this warehouse at 3018 W. Montrose Ave. (just a few blocks east of Montrose & Kedzie). The company has been selling tailoring, dressmaking, and furrier supplies in Chicago since 1903. In many cases, what he has is much better and less expensive than the chain fabric stores. And he's local, so you don't even have to pay shipping.
* [http://misterzipper.com Jay Arbetman, Arbetman and Assoc.] also known as Chicago Wholesale Fabrics. 2256 West Grand, in Chicago. He represents a huge number of fabric manufacturers. Relatively low minimum order, less than ten yards in many cases. Also lots of sewing findings in addition to what Leonard Adler carries. Obviously a far better selection than the fabric chain stores, and he is often less expensive as well. But you will have to plan ahead, as most of it must be ordered. Also has PFD (prepared for dyeing) fabrics. If you are gearing up to start an Etsy shop and need fabric, this is the place to go.

==== Online ====
* [http://www.beaconfabric.com Becon Fabrics And Notions] An amazing assortment of drapery supplies, webbing, flagcloth and other outdoor fabrics. Great website for idea generation. Location: Lakeland, FL
* [http://www.lessemf.com/fabric.html Less EMF] Conductive fabric and thread. Enough said.
* [https://fabrics-store.com Frabrics-Store.com] Linen and Cotton-Linen blends, the Doggie Bag section has bolt ends at reduced price.

Makelemonade: Added wood sources, common enough thing for people to need to know.

The Wood Shop is one of the areas that has [[:Category:Hosted Areas|an area host here at PS:One]].{{Infobox HostedArea
| image = 9473142111_c9f6058202_b.jpg

== Area Rules ==
<ol>
<li>Safety first — use at minimum all required safety gear for the tool you are using. Always wear safety glasses. Worn alone, your acrylic eyeglass lenses are dangerous. Know where the closest fire extinguisher is as well as the first aid kit. And pay attention to what you are doing. For your own safety, do not work around people misusing tools. For the safety of others, don't misuse tools. It's ok to ask others for help, people are pretty friendly (but it's good etiquette to wait if they're using power tools).</li>
<li>Clean up after yourself — use a brush or the Shop Vac to clean up your chips and throw small cutoffs away. Set useful cutoffs aside in the lumber area if you think someone might be able to use them (but we reallllly don't want your garbage). Make sure power cords don't obstruct aisles</li>
<li> Check the '''Dust Collector''' [https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Dust_Collector_G0638]to see if it needs emptying </li>
<li>Be respectful of others using this space by following [[Tidy Space Policy|TidySpace]] procedures — always fill out a Green Ticket.</li>
<li>Put things back when you're done — Let's try to make sure everyone can find the tool they are looking for once you are finished. This includes all power tool accessories and hand tools.</li>
<li>Respect all the tools — Do not '''''ever''''' put your weight behind a piece you're feeding through any power tool. If you ''ever'' see anyone doing this, it's ok to correct them. Use your hands or a push stick, if appropriate, to move your piece through — the machine will tell you how quickly it wants to work. '''Only use tools you are authorized to use.'''</li>
<li>If something breaks, put a note on it and contact the Area Host, don't just leave it for the next person to find. It's unsafe and disrespectful. Be excellent to each other.</li>
<li>Make awesome things and let us know if you'd like to boast.</li>
</ol>

== Authorizations ==
Mirrored from the [[Authorizations#Woodshop|Authorizations]] page.

=== Wood shop host and deputies ===
Sam Paris - host

Authorizers: [[Volunteer Positions#Woodshop Authorizers and maintenance.]]
=== Project Storage ===
'''New tidy space policy. '''

Please see [[Tidy Space Policy]] for details on how to store your projects. The shelves in the pallet racking on the south wall, the left half of the sheet good rack on the north wall, and the space behind the miter saw cabinet are Member Project Temporary Storage. You can store items there for up to 3 days with a green ticket, or longer with permission from a member of the Wood shop Volunteer Team. You can leave projects on tables for up to 3 hours (with a detailed note) for glue/finish drying, etc.

== Safety ==
Come wearing appropriate clothing (closed toed shoes, no loose clothing/jewelry) and grab a set of eye protection and ear protection when you arrive.

Some safety equipment is currently available:

* safety glasses and goggles
* gloves (including welding gloves)
* ear protection
* welding masks
* fire extinguishers

Users must use this equipment as required for each tool.

If you see someone using the equipment improperly, '''wait for a safe time''' to either show them how to do it right, or ask them to stop and seek certification. Don't sneak up on people or interrupt them while they're using power tools. Notify the Area Host if anyone is abusing, damaging, or using tools inappropriately.

If the smoke/CO2 detector goes off, stop what you are doing. Do not shut it off and go back to work until you take a break for at least 15 minutes to be sure there aren't any harmful fumes.

== Woodworking skills ==
'''Milling lumber''' To produce the quality joints needed for strong and attractive projects, the natural warping and twist of lumber must be dealt with. The typical process for producing milled lumber starts at the jointer.
<ol>
<li> Joint a face and an edge, using the jointer fence. This will give you two surfaces that are 90 degrees to each other.
<li> Then use the planer to make the unmilled face parallel and coplanar to the face milled in the first step.
<li> The final edge can be produced on the table saw. Use the rip fence to clean up the final edge.
</ol>
More techniques for milling lumber can be found in [http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/videos/episode-6-the-jointers-jumpin/?category_name=techniques this video] from Marc Spagnuolo, a woodworking podcaster of note.

== Tools ==
While plenty of tools are available, you probably want to put together your own toolbox/kit of things to have handy. See the [[Recommended Gear/Kit#Wood Shop|suggested list for the wood shop]].

All equipment in the workshop has been tagged [[:Category:Shop Equipment]].

All equipment requires certification to be used. Please see the individual tool pages for information on who can certify you to use these tools. We have a number of [[Tablesaw jigs and sleds|jigs and sleds for the table saw]], bandsaw, and planer.

=== Using the tools ===
If it belongs to PS:One, please be nice to the tools. If they belong to a member who is awesome enough to loan us their personal gear, make sure you treat it extra nice and also, get their permission first.

Please be respectful and aware of others working in the shop at the same time you are. If you are throwing sparks, throw them away from other people. If you are walking around with hot metal, say something, so others know where you are and don't get branded. If you are going to start making a lot of noise, let other people know so they can get some ear protection, don't just deafen them.

=== Sharpening tools ===
Sharpening is best left to people who know what they're doing. Destroying an edge or a tool's temper will require someone else to deal with the problem, and that sucks. If you know what you're doing, you'll know what you need and can ask someone who also looks like they know what they're doing to help you find it.

Sharpening power tool blades is even more best left to people who know what they're doing. Let the area host know if a power tool's blades need to be serviced.

== Shop Safety Best Practices ==

Pumping Station: One is not responsible for making sure you operate tools safely. This wiki is edited by volunteers who ''do not speak for Pumping Station:One.'' For a primer on general shop safety best practices, take a look at [http://www.epa.gov/dfe/pubs/auto/bestpractices/bestpr.htm the EPA's recommendations] and [https://www.pratt.edu/uploads/Shop_Orientation_Manual.pdf Pratt's orientation manual]. Various A&M schools also have excellent recommendations.

== Budgets ==
We are working on a real time accounting of budgets and expenditures.

== Sources for Wood ==
Owl Lumber is usually the recommended place to get wood. Their store in Niles is much bigger than the one in Lombard.

People have also had success buying used oak tables off their favorite marketplace and planing/milling the table top for use.

== Wood Shop Improvement Projects ==

The Wood Shop has lots of ongoing improvement projects to help organize and declutter the workspace - feel free to help out!

* Fix rolling fire door rail (roll door to right, replace missing bolts holding rail to wall will bring that rail plumb again, test)

* Straighten out door counterweight cover to left of rolling fire door (remove appx six lag bolts, take cover off, beat the shit outa it to make it square, replace it on wall).

* Repair left dust collector door. (Remove stop from top rail, roll door to left to free the center trolley, tighten nuts to relevel/plumb door so that it is plumb-relative to right door, replace end stop)

* Use hydraulic cement or such to reattach rolling door rails to wall in dock. There are new bolts there but existing old bolts need to be reattached to wall at right side

* DONE Finish hooking up the dust collection
* DONE Repair the floor on the flat sheet vertical rack (the bottom is broken) and throw away the junk and edit the ticketed items.
* DONE Incorporate a rack for tall sticks of lumber (8ft. 2x4's, long rips of narrow material).
* DONE Reorganize "salvage" material storage
** NOW: right quarter of ply rack,
*** small pieces to right of ply rack,

* DONE Get the [[Bosch Sliding Compound Miter Saw]] station built.
* DONE Build a Google Calendar for Major tool Preventive Maintenance with manufacturer recommendations for maintenance tasks
* DONE Jigs and fences for the [[Rockwell Delta 20" Bandsaw]].
* DONE Plumb in some air lines. Paul Van Lake anchored the line on the wall next to the ladders so maybe we can tap off of that.
* Shop signs. If a member is looking for a practice project post laser or ShopBot authorization, have them make pertinent/helpful tool and warning signs.
* DONE Go through the cabinet under the miter saw and clean out the junk glue and useless material.
* DONE Build shelves under work benches for member projects once racks are made to store glue clamps.
* DONE Design a better method to store the clamps that are in bins on the floor.
* DONE Fix the cable on the [[Grizzly 6" jointer]] - the ground wire is exposed.
* DONE Fix the plugs on the northwest wall. They are hanging, and it is hard sometimes to plug in the jointer without the cable falling off.
* Build an enclosed cabinet for the router table to prevent dust and organize bits and tools.
* DONE Add racks above sanders router and drill press
* Repair replace worktables
* DONE prepare vote for new equipment (SawStop, lathe, racks) TO BE DELIVERED /INSTALLED DEC. (SAW, RACKS)and jan.(lathe)
