Line 189:
* This tool requires induction. Under the lid there is a drum with spinning blades - do not put you hands inside the machine when it is turned on.
* Please make sure that you (a) use suction to collect dust when using it (point to machine and tube) and (b) clean the machine after use, else you will damage it. Please make sure that the suction tube is not blocked when you finished using it.
* We strongly recommend wearing ear defenders when using this tool as it's one of our loudest tools
* This our bandsaw. We are particularly proud of this as we purchased it new from our surplus
Line 198 ⟶ 199:
=== In workshop, in loading bay ===
* The loading bay light switch is next to the e-stop next to the bandsaw▼
* Here is the tablesaw – another powerful and high precision piece of equipment.
* The hazard here is pretty clear – it has a large spinning blade in the top.
Line 210 ⟶ 212:
** Don't leave the door open unattended.
===
* The hazard associated with the table router is fairly obvious - there is a cutting tip that protrudes from the top of the table.▼
*
* There is actually more to using a table router than immediately meets the eye - you need to think carefully about how to feed the wood if you are to use it safely. It is quite capable of throwing the wood with considerable force if not fed correctly.▼
* This one [points to left one] is for metal, the other one is for wood▼
* They throw sparks or chips around the workshop, if mis-used they can throw your entire work piece at you!▼
=== Wood lathe / reductive work working===
Line 257 ⟶ 258:
* [Point at and explain the yellow signs above the lathe]
* There is an emergency stop button
* We ask members not to use it unless they have had a
* We can provide training, but we cannot certify you as trained – it is still incumbent on you to satisfy yourself that you are fit to use the machine
* The PPE equipment is kept by the main door [point] – use it
* Opposite the Lathe is the pedestal grinder that we use for sharpening lathe tools
* It has 2 grinding wheels that when spinning have the energy of small bomb and can explode if abused, we ask members not to use it unless they're thoroughly familiar with grinding wheel safety
* By the side of the lathe here [points it out] is the store for metal
=== In workshop, in tool storage area ===
Line 268 ⟶ 269:
* They are smaller than some of the other tools, yet still pose a hazard
* They are heavily used, and also often abused, so please make sure that they are in safe condition before using them
** Check for cracked casings, loose parts or general damage
** Check the electrical cords are not damaged
▲* The hazard associated with the table router is fairly obvious - there is a cutting tip that protrudes from the top of the table.
* We have two chopsaws here
▲* This one [points to left one] is for metal, the other one is for wood
▲* There is actually more to using a table router than immediately meets the eye - you need to think carefully about how to feed the wood if you are to use it safely. It is quite capable of throwing the wood with considerable force if not fed correctly.

=== Second chemical store===
Line 277 ⟶ 279:
* It holds oxidising, corrosive or toxic materials such as strong acids, resin catalysts, and aggressive dyes.
* We separate the chemical stores so that chemicals which are incompatible with each other can be kept apart (e.g. flammable solvents and strong oxidisers)
* Some of the chemicals in here are as innocuous as vinegar; others can burn, blind and kill. If you need access you'll have to ask a director for the key and let them know what you need and
* This is also where we keep the casting equipment, we can cast aluminium and copper!
* The casting must always be done outdoors to let the fumes dissipate harmlessly so you may see it in use in the carpark.
* Molten metal and water do not mix nicely! So don't come anywhere near the kit with drinks if it's in use, if a cup of coffee was
=== CNC mills, Drill Press and Oven ===
* This is the Boxford CNC Mill, it's a complicated and expensive tool, and we ask that you attend a familiarisation session before trying to use it. To be honest you're probably more of a threat to it than it is to you, but it's still possible to get hurt if you use it wrong enough.
* The machine does not have interlocks on the doors, so the spindle will continue turning even if you open them.
* To state the obvious, please do not put any part of your body inside the cabinet whilst the spindle is turning.
* You should also ensure that you are wearing safety glasses if you open the door whilst it is operating, as it can throw chips when it is milling.
* Here we also have the drill press, it's a
* If it does catch, it will not stop, it will whip your workpeice around violently, you may want to wear gloves if you have to hold your work, but it's better to use a vice if you can.
* In the corner here we have out materials processing oven. The temperature range this covers is very similar to a domestic oven so you should use similar precautions, it's just a lot more accurate in maintaining a set temperature.
* It should not be left running un-attended
* Because it's had a variety of chemicals in it at various times, no food must ever be heated in this oven!
=== Sewing machines, remote controls===
* By the door is the honesty box [point it out], most tools are free to use but usage fees for those downstairs tools that have them go in there.▼
* If you're using a lot of nuts, bolts, sandpaper, other small consumables then consider donating a few pence but it's not compulsory unless you're using a hell of a lot▼
* We have two heavy duty sewing machines - one is manual, the electrically powered.
* Both are capable of sewing canvas, leather, and also your hand!
* Please take an induction before use

* Here's where we also keep a couple of remote controls
** This one controls the air conditioner, It's got a lot of modes but "Heat" and "Cool" are the only ones you really need to worry about and you can set the temperature with these 2 controls. If you turn on the air-conditioner then please also turn it on to time mode by pressing this button for how many hours you want it to run, so that if you forget to turn it off before leaving it won't run all day/night
Line 303 ⟶ 309:
* The roller door should be bolted with the chain secured to the hook
* The fire exit should be closed
▲* The loading bay light switch is next to the e-stop next to the bandsaw
* The only lights that you should see are the LEDs on the power tool battery chargers on the back wall, and the access control unit off the bandsaw
