= CNC Router Training =

This page documents the process for being trained on the CNC Router, and the list of members who have completed that training.

== Summary ==

Training takes place in three main steps:
* Group Training of 1-4 members, going through the equipment and how to use it (~1hr)
* Individual Training Task, where an individual member is set a task to complete to prove and improve understanding (~30min each)
* Project Oversight, where more experienced users oversee the projects being undertaken when cutting (first 2-3 projects)

Training on the CNC Router is run by the CNC Router Owners. The CNC Router Owners are a group of people responsible for maintaining and training on the CNC Router, and hence have been trained to train, and trained to perform the weekly and monthly maintenance on the CNC Router.

== Getting onto a training session ==

Sessions are advertised on '''http://meetup.makespace.org'''
* For discussing training, or requesting additional slots, use the mailing list thread: [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/cammakespace/0aNnAEGF-5U/discussion Training : CNC Router ]

Please be patient - training is provided by volunteers who give up their free time to run sessions.

Notes:
* You can only be trained if you have your name allocated to a slot

= Owners/Trainers =

The following members of Makespace are owners and/or trainers of the CNC Router, so are trained to use and teach use of the Router:
*Stephen Woolhead - Owner
*Mark Mellors - Owner
*Dave Ansell - Owner
*David Bebb - Owner
*Jason White - Owner

= Post Training Email =

Congratulations on completing your induction for the CNC Router.

Here are some useful links and further information to help you get going.

General router details can be found here: http://wiki.makespace.org/Equipment/CNC_Router

Before using the machine please make sure you have read the health and safety notes: http://wiki.makespace.org/Equipment/CNC_Router#Health_and_Safety

A few reminders:

You must not use the machine if you are the only member in the space.

Router cutters that have bearings on the end - like the one below, can not and must not be used!
 
[[File:25845_P.jpg]]

Please supply 50p into the red honesty box if you are using Makespace cutters - this helps us to maintain a supply of good cutters for you to use and goes towards the upkeep of the machine.

Please get in touch with the owners if you have a question or problem: http://wiki.makespace.org/Equipment/CNC_Router#Owners

We recommend that you check the Makespace google group to see what's going on: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/cammakespace

Please report any issues to the group here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/cammakespace/rkchD7VqM2c%5B1-25%5D

Please leave the router in a clean state when you have finished - Be awesome - leave it better than you found it :)

Be safe and enjoy.

Shiny New Tool Chests

2014-12-10T12:09:52Z

Hiddejan:

There's a tentative proposal on the mailing list to get some actually good hand tools, and storage such that these don't get lost and are marked as being good. The hope is that this will encourage people to treat them with respect, and to return them to their homes properly.

One tool chest makes no sense, we have multiple kinds of tools and multiple places where such things need to be accessed. So, this page is intended to capture the broad categories we need, and the specific tools we want in those categories. Once we have a reasonable idea, we will go and buy good stuff, and the space will have decent small tools (and there will be much rejoicing)

Please either add to the existing categories, or create a new one if you think that's needed.

** Mat says: I suggest - http://www.axminster.co.uk/wiha-ergostar-hex-key-set

Shiny New Tool Chests

2014-12-10T12:02:55Z

Hiddejan:

There's a tentative proposal on the mailing list to get some actually good hand tools, and storage such that these don't get lost and are marked as being good. The hope is that this will encourage people to treat them with respect, and to return them to their homes properly.

One tool chest makes no sense, we have multiple kinds of tools and multiple places where such things need to be accessed. So, this page is intended to capture the broad categories we need, and the specific tools we want in those categories. Once we have a reasonable idea, we will go and buy good stuff, and the space will have decent small tools (and there will be much rejoicing)

Please either add to the existing categories, or create a new one if you think that's needed.

Shiny New Tool Chests

Hiddejan:

There's a tentative proposal on the mailing list to get some actually good hand tools, and storage such that these don't get lost and are marked as being good. The hope is that this will encourage people to treat them with respect, and to return them to their homes properly.

One tool chest makes no sense, we have multiple kinds of tools and multiple places where such things need to be accessed. So, this page is intended to capture the broad categories we need, and the specific tools we want in those categories. Once we have a reasonable idea, we will go and buy good stuff, and the space will have decent small tools (and there will be much rejoicing)

Please either add to the existing categories, or create a new one if you think that's needed.

This probably won't be a chest, it will be wall, perhaps?

== Secure Workshop Metalworking Tool Chest ==

Lives in the secure workshop, houses tools which are intended solely for working on metal.

* Metal drill bits
* Metal files
* Hacksaws
* Taps and dies
** Mat says: decent set with first, second and finish. I have this set [http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/acatalog/info_SCT109_.html] which is worlds apart from the single tap versions. Downside is that the individual taps are not individually replaceable.
* Centre punches
* Scribers
* Riveter (preferably lazy tongs)
* Stud extractors (male and female styles)
* Broken screw extractor(s)
* ...

== "Extra" Tool Chest ==

General tools, useful all around the space for larger pieces of work. I suggest this lives just inside or just outside of the secure workshop if we can find space for it.

* Socket wrench set
* Larger adjustable spanners
* Larger screwdrivers
* Knives

** Mat says: I love everything else, disagree here. Hate these things, they're fiddly to use, fold when you don't want them to, and don't work in confined spaces.
** Mat says: I suggest - http://www.axminster.co.uk/wiha-ergostar-hex-key-set

** Excellent for bolts, machine screws, nuts etc. Really good turnaround, prices based on amount you buy but with an excellent interface to make this clear. Limited range of things, but if you're looking for things to attach one thing to another thing they're great. --[[User:Tomoinn|tmo]] 12:48, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

** I have an account with these guys and, due to buying the kiln on it, we get a 5% discount. I'm happy to put orders in as long as we combine them to over 75 pounds for shipping. If you do this you don't get the discount, but the money we save goes to common stock needed for the glassworking station such as bead release. --[[User:Tomoinn|tmo]] 12:52, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
