[[Category:Cold Metals]]

In the cold metals area we have grouped together authorizations on the non-precision cutting tools into a single authorization. The [[Rockwell drill press]], [[Johnson Bandsaw]], and [[DoAll Bandsaw]] are under the Cold Metals Tier 1 authorization process. The session covers basic operation and safety on the machines.

'''NOTE: Prior to April 2017, the [[Bench Grinder (6in)]], [[Sears Belt Sander|Belt Sander]], and [[DeWalt Chop Saw]] were included in this authorization.'''

Monitor the mailing list for times and dates, or contact one of the listed authorizers.

== How to become a Authorizer ==

We want as many people available to do Cold Metals Tier 1 authorizations as we can get. The idea is to promote safety, and get people used to the sounds that a machine tool cutting well makes.

New authorizers get authorized to authorize others by (1) having some amount of presence in the shop and (2) closely following the "script" during EITHER a "dry-run" authorizing session given to an authorized authorizer -- or conducting a real-live authorizing session while being observed by an authorized authorizer. During such a session, the observing authorizer should _not_ have to speak. Obviously if the new authorizer-to-be has *significant* problems in communication of the content of the "script", the observing authorizer will contribute to the discussion. For the new authorizer-to-be it's a test, not an opportunity for team-teaching.

== Safety ==

=== General Personal Safety, and Consideration of Others ===

You must work safely. Your actions must not threaten the safety of you, of others, or the tools.You should never operate machine tools under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise) or alcohol.It is your responsibility to protect your eyes. Safety goggles may be provided in the cage for activities that have the potential to generate flying particles. Activities which may, depending on circumstances generate flying particles include but are not limited to drilling, sawing, lathing, milling, hammering, chiseling, grinding, and belt sanding. Don't use goggles which are dirty or fogged-up. If cleaning is required cleansing pads may be available in the cage. To clean your goggles, all surfaces that have contact with the skin must be wiped down. The lens should be wiped down, both front and inside. If you choose to use purchase your own goggles be sure they are rated for labeled z87 (this should be written or stamped on the side of all goggles) and have side shields.Disposable earplugs may be supplied in the cage. Follow the instructions on the dispenser. They are surprisingly more effective if you do. Many types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are not effective if used improperly. If you don't know whether or how to use your protective equipment, read the instructions.Because of cost and hygiene problems, PS:1 cannot be depended upon to stock dust masks/respirators. If your work has the potential to generate dusts, mists, or vapors, you may proceed only by following these rules:

# Get your own respiratory protection. Ace Hardware has many types. Make sure the mask or filter is really for the substance confronting you. Do not, for instance, use a paper dust mask for organic paint fumes. Follow the mask manufacturer's instructions.
# Work in the back dock when possible, or with an exhaust fan on.
# If it is necessary to work in the main shop be sure you aren't inflicting your fumes or dust on someone else. It would be excellent if you as the fume generator waits until no one is present who could be harmed or inconvenienced by your activities.

When using power tools, remove gloves, watches, jewelry, and roll up your sleeves. Keep your hair tied back and tucked away. This is especially true for the drill presses, mill, and lathe. Tools with moving parts can injure your hands or catch your hair and pull your head into the machine. Gloves and loose clothing can also get caught in moving machinery. Never put your hand in the vicinity of any moving part of any machine. When adjusting the speed of a belt-driven machine (drill press, lathe, mill or other step-pulley drive) unplug the machine before putting your hands into the drive belts. Every Time.If in using any machine that cuts material, you cannot see a cut in progress because of chips or dust produced by the cutting process, a chip brush to clear the work zone -- never use your hands while the tool is on.PS:1 keeps fire extinguishers and first aid supplies on hand. It would be good to familiarize yourself with their locations before you begin your work.

It is best to not work alone in the shop while using machine tools. If you are hurt and cannot dial 911, another person in the space could do that for you. Use the right tool for the job. Incorrect tool usage produces bad results, and can be detrimental to you, your work, and the tools.Knowing a tool is knowing how it works. For instance, power tools make different sounds when they are working. Some sounds are HAPPY and some sounds are SAD. If you don't know how a tool should work, in spite of the demonstration given with this authorization, ask somebody who does know.

=== Safe and Proper Use of the Power Tools ===
This is not an instructional guide to being a machinist. For skill development in using tools in fabrication, you should take a class of some kind and practice, practice, practice. In this authorization, you will be shown only the basic operation of the tools. The purpose of these minimal illustrations of technique is so that you might have some idea of the types of things the tools are capable of. Authorization gives you permission to use the tools. Authorization to use the tools is not a certification of your competence.

== Tool use ==

=== [[Johnson Bandsaw|Horizontal Bandsaw]] ===

The horizontal bandsaw is only for cutting metals.

Clamp your work securely in the vise. Be sure that the work cannot rotate or flip around in the vise when the saw is pulling the blade through the cut. Close the blade guides to the minimum distance that will (1) clear the workpiece and (2) not interfere with the movement of the saw at the bottom end of its travel.

Set the force-control weight to apply proper pressure to the cut. In most cases, this is at minimum. (Closer to the motor is less cut force). Open the hydraulic valve to produce a good feed rate. If the blade seems like it's starting to snag the workpiece or clog the teeth, take a lighter cut by decreasing the feed rate. If the saw is not producing a chip, increase the feed rate. Unless there is a reason to be taking a very light cut, the sound of the saw teeth should be consistent during the entire rotation of the blade. Except when taking a very light cut, the sound of the saw teeth contacting the material should be consistent and chips should form at an even rate. Using coolant helps to preserve blade life, and increase the speed and quality of the cut. It also makes a mess.

A major cause of blade breakage is thin workpieces snagging the saw blade teeth. Snagging causes teeth to be broken and can also cause the blade to stall or come off the wheels. Check the blade for missing teeth before using the saw. A blade with missing teeth is usually not fit for use. Using a fine pitch blade on soft materials like aluminum can clog the teeth and cause the blade to grab the work and stall. Be sure the chips are clearing the teeth. If not, use coolant or a wire brush to push the chips from the teeth. Using a coarse blade on steel will cause the teeth to snag on the work and break off. Turning the saw off (stopping the motor) while the saw is in a cut can cause broken teeth. Any problem that can break a tooth can also cause the blade to come off the wheels. Use the right blade for the work. Trying to mediate a cut on the horizontal bandsaw can cause saw blade teeth to be knocked off the blade; set the saw to lower the blade slowly into the work and then let go. Be gentle with the hydraulic valve. It only requires a feather touch to turn it. Over-torquing the valve handle can damage the valve. If your workpiece gets snagged and stuck on the blade, stop the saw immediately. Unplug the saw, then try to pull the workpiece straight down off the blade.

To free the stuck workpiece, use a rocking or wiggling motion, in-line with the axis of the blade. Don't twist the blade. A bend or kink ruins the blade. If you still can't get your workpiece off the blade, don't force it. Tag the saw as “out of order” and post a message to the list saying “The blade on the horizontal bandsaw is stuck. Could someone please un-stick it.” If the blade comes off the wheels, tag the saw and post the problem to the list.

Computer Numeric Control: computerized tools for manufacturing and crafting.

== Rules ==

===Clean Up===
* Please allot time for your project to clean up after yourselves. Throw away scrap, and store usable materials in the file cabinet.
* Empty Laser Engraver catch trays.
* Please return all tools from where you found them.
* Empty the trash when it is full

===Conserving Energy===
* Turn off the exhaust after a project. Do not cycle the exhaust rapidly.
* Turn off the Lights and A/C at the end of the day.
* Turn off 3D printers when prints are done.

===Storage===
* There is absolutely no member storage in the CNC area. Please clean up all projects when you are done. Left over projects without any documentation will be thrown away.

== Safety ==

Lasers are known to cause fire. If you leave your laser unattended, anyone else SHOULD halt or cancel it immediately, no questions asked, no excuses. DO not pass go, do not collect $200, go to laser jail.
Lasers are more liable to cause fire if the material is too thick, has air pockets in it (like multi-layer cardboard)
Lasers can cause toxic fumes if they are used with unsafe materials. There's a page of safe and unsafe materials linked from each laser's wiki page, and that is covered in authorizations.
There is one halon fire extinguisher in the CNC room that is first choice for putting out fires associated with the laser cutters.
As long as the lids are closed, you do not need to wear additional protective eye wear to operate the lasers.
Don't mess with the safety interlocks that detect if the lid is closed.
Do not ever laser humans or animals.

== Tools Available ==

There is an automatically built list of CNC-tagged equipment at the bottom of this page. If a thing does not show up on the automatically populated list, please edit that equipment's wiki page to make it happen.

===2D Printing===
* [[Xerox_Workcentre_7855_Printer_/_Scanner_/_Copier]]
* [[HP DesignJet T520 Large Format Color Printer]]
* [[HP DesignJet 755CM Large Format Printer]] (no longer at the space)
* [[Brother_DCP-7065DN_Printer]]
* [[Vinyl_Cutter]]

===3D Printing===

* [[Prusa i3 MK3S A 3D Printer]] - There are three of these, and they're among the best 3D printers right now, since they have automatic bed-leveling technology. Direct drive printing, filament sensor.
* [[Prusa i3 MK2S A 3D Printer]] - There is one of these. Older version of MK3S (Not in service)
* [[Creality Ender 3 A 3D Printer]] - There are two of these. Manual bed leveling. Capable of excellent prints.

* [[MakerBot Replicator]] - Removed from the space? Gone? At the best it's offline, broken, not usable unless you like tinkering.
* Jellybox - New to PS1, broken at the moment (needs a hot-end repair) and skimpy wiki page https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Jellybox
* [[LulzBot 3D Printer|LulzBot AO-100 3D printer]] - Larger volume. Works. Regular extruder cannot do flexible filament. Flexistruder needs a firmware update to use, then you have to change the firmware back to use regular filament, which is lame but ... maybe that can be fixed/updated someday.
* [[Lulzbot Taz3|Lulzbot TAZ3 3D printer]]
* [[3dSystems CubePro|3dSystems CubeProTrio 3D printer]] - Usable, but has a weird history of using proprietary filament so then we hacked it so that it can use any old filament but ... read the CubePro wiki page, the backstory is needed if you intend to use it.
* [[FormLabs Form 1+ SLA 3D Printer]] - Stereolithography-type printer, resin-based.
===3D Scanning===
* [[Cubify Sense 3d Scanner]] - Hacked to use non-proprietary filament but has never been quite as good since the hack.
* [[Matter and Form 3D Scanner]] - Mostly sucks. Count on it taking an hour to scan a medium sized thing, too. Really, really sucks.

===Laser Cutter/Engravers===
* [[Epilog 30w Mini 24 Laser Engraver]]
* [[BOSS LS-3655 150w Laser Engraver]]
* [[Universal PLS6.150D 150W Laser Engraver]]

===CNC Routers===
* [[ShapeOko2 CNC Router]]
* [[CNC Plasma Cutter]]
* [[Shopbot PRS CNC router]]

===CNC Mills===
* [[Tormach 1100 series CNC mill]]

===Misc Equipment===
* [[Vinyl Cutter]]
* [[Gingery Plastic Injection Machine]]

== Supplies ==

Supplies are generally not provided. There are some PS1-owned bits in the drawer for the ShopBot, but you may wish to purchase your own bits if you want to be confident that you'll have a good, sharp bit of the appropriate size for your project. If you break a shop-owned bit, please tell the area host and post a note to the wiki and Google group.

There is often some common-use filament available for the TAZ3, AO-100 or Replicator 3D printers, but you may also used your own if you want to be confident that you'll have enough high-quality filament for your project. Filament can be purchased at MicroCenter and other retailers for about $20 per spool. Filament can be purchased for the Cube printer for about $100 per cartridge.

All machines, including the vinyl cutter and large format printers, should have information about their consumables listed on their respective wiki page.

There is a donation box next to the Cube printer for filament; suggested donation for Cube filament is 30 cents per gram.

== Authorization ==

Authorization for the '''[[Shopbot_PRS_CNC_router]]''' will appear as a [https://www.meetup.com/Pumping-Station-One Meetup event], and on the [http://pumpingstationone.org/events/ PS1 event calendar].

Authorization for other equipment varies, the policy may be listed on the tool's own wiki page. Some authorization events may be listed as Meetup events, Signup.com events, on the PS1 event calendar (which is mirrored on the PS1 web site "Events" page) or may be announced on the PS1 Google Group (generally the private one, not the public one).

For authorization for the Laser Cutters, please email laser-auths@pumpingstationone.org.

To be able to log in on the lasers or ShopBot PCs you must have your member login account modified by a member who has admin privileges. Once you are authorized, you will use the same username and password you would use on any other PS1 computer.

Authorizations

2021-04-21T01:05:04Z

Poiseen: /* CNC - 3D Printers */

Most everything more dangerous than a soldering iron requires authorization before use. Some authorizations are regularly scheduled while others are scheduled on-demand. To schedule an on-demand authorization, members may post in the [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/pumping-station-one Google Groups], the relevant Slack channel, or contact a volunteer authorizer directly.

Contact information for all current volunteer authorizers can be found [https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Volunteer_Positions here.]

==Woodshop==
The Woodshop Basic Authorization is a prerequisite for all other authorizations listed in this section. The Basic Authoirzation is a two-part process:

1) Complete the Canvas Course

2) Schedule an in-person authorization session

The in-person session is scheduled in Canvas on the Canvas Calendar.
