== How Do I.... ==

We get asked all the time if we can give a quick overview of <operation or process on machine tool>.  Although we're happy to help, there's a lot of great info available online.  See the following link to an article compiled by FamiLAB member Nick Polanoski. So please - before you ask- look at this article and see if there's a video or description of the process.

=== Stock Rack ===

The stock rack is in the back left corner of the machine shop. The top shelf is for large pieces of stock, the middle shelf has smaller pieces of aluminum and steel organized into bins, and the bottom has sheet stock and plastics. There are also vertical racks to the right for particularly long pieces of stock. Anything here without a name on it is fair game for use, but please contribute to it as well- If you take a piece, please leave equivalent-ish stock next time you have some scrap.

If you have something that does not fit in your bin that you would like to store there but retain ownership of, please put your name on it in multiple places. Make sure it is clean of oil and debris before doing this, cutting fluids do a great job of dissolving sharpie.

Last but not least, if it is not something standard (1018 or A36 steel, 6061 aluminum) please label it. For example, if I go to cut some "mild steel" and it is actually 4140, I'm going to (a) have a bad time and (b) use a MUCH more expensive material than I intended. Stainless, superalloys, tool steel, aerospace grade aluminum (2024/7075/etc) are all included in this, among others.

Slack channel: #metalworking

The Metal Shop allows people to create a wide range of items and to work on projects using various tools and equipment specialized for metalworking.

How Do I....

We get asked all the time if we can give a quick overview of <operation or process on machine tool>. Although we're happy to help, there's a lot of great info available online. See the following link to an article compiled by FamiLAB member Nick Polanoski. So please - before you ask- look at this article and see if there's a video or description of the process.

Equipment

Equipment List and Required Training

  • Hydraulic Press - For squishing things, pressing bearings into place, unsticking things, and general shenanigans. Contact @cualer or @npolanosky for training.
  • Sandblaster - Great for stripping paint, rust, and other coatings off of metal. Training not required.

Stock Rack

The stock rack is the shelf oposite the main machine area. Please try to keep material types together. There are also vertical racks to the right for particularly long pieces of stock. Anything without a name on it is fair game for use, but please contribute to it as well - If you take a piece, please leave equivalent-ish stock next time you have some scrap.

If you have something that does not fit in your bin that you would like to store there but retain ownership of, please put your name on it in multiple places. Make sure it is clean of oil and debris before doing this as cutting fluids do a great job of dissolving sharpie.

Last but not least, if it is not something standard (1018 or A36 steel, 6061 aluminum) please label it. For example, if someone goes to cut some "mild steel" and it is actually 4140, they're going to (a) have a bad time and (b) use a MUCH more expensive material than they intended. Stainless, superalloys, tool steel, aerospace grade aluminum (2024/7075/etc) are all included in this, among others.

Thanks!
