Items of note, but not voted on
New scrap rules, all scrap must either:
- Have solid area larger than 8"x8" - Fit inside a dedicated 'test piece' bin
We'll post these rules and a 'scrap gauge' near both scrap areas soon.
We're researching the purchase of an approx 12"x24" US Made, RF Tube-based laser.
We're in initial discussions of moving Laser 101 to an online class, with some sort of in person checkout or project requirement.
We would like to reorganize the committee area for better usability. Access to cabinets is difficult for example.
We hope to use the new ventilation system to better track per-machine usage. Concerns were raised the Big Thunder sees significantly more usage. We would like to encourage people to reserve Big Thunder for projects where its size is needed.
