| − | '''However''' we also need a new nozzle to house it in. Reason being we'll have to graft a metal tube onto it to carry the air assist down over that distance. Depending on the 4" one, we may later want a 7.5" as well, which would also need a different nozzle. The effective cutting profile for that would be about an inch! The kerf is wider though, and the beam profile 'rougher'. 4" is a good kerf/depth compromise. | + | '''However''' we also need a new nozzle to house it in.

Semi urgent tasks:
A costed list from Amazon et al of what else we might want as 'house stock' for laser materials; Wishlist#Materials_.2F_Consumables <-- Amazon Plywood costing is needed still. Is anything else needed there? Do we need another security camera or are we going to see how things unfold first?
Could we get Navbox here to aid page unity? Top of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Navbox for installation instructions. Much appreciated!
Bandsaw
Update: liase/nag Steve about returning the feeble thing
Fairly sure this is the bearing type we need for the bandsaw , however I have no idea how we can remount it to the shaft; https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/advanced_search_result.php?dd_data=%7B%221%22%3A%220%22%2C%222%22%3A%220%22%2C%223%22%3A%220%22%2C%2217%22%3A%220%22%2C%2219%22%3A%220%22%2C%2220%22%3A%220%22%2C%2221%22%3A%220%22%2C%2222%22%3A%220%22%2C%2223%22%3A%220%22%2C%2224%22%3A%220%22%2C%2225%22%3A%220%22%2C%2228%22%3A%220%22%2C%2229%22%3A%220%22%2C%2230%22%3A%22TWV0YWwgU2hpZWxkZWQ%3D%22%2C%2231%22%3A%220%22%2C%2232%22%3A%220%22%2C%2233%22%3A%220%22%2C%2244%22%3A%220%22%2C%2276%22%3A%220%22%2C%2277%22%3A%220%22%2C%2281%22%3A%220%22%7D&keywords1=5&keywords2=16&keywords3=Width&keywords=5x16x%205x16%2016x5x%2016x5%20x16x5%20x5x16%20&_=1520754401872
Requisition requests
Laser switch - I assume it can handle the throughput? Blue cover & green LED is in stock atm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/illuminated-LED-Toggle-Switch-Missile-Style-Flick-Flip-Cover-12V-12-Volt-20A/182870884973?hash=item2a93f4426d:m:m552oksPX4AGrht3XPGChqQ
3mm Laser ply
New lens 4" - https://www.ebay.com/itm/CO2-USA-ZnSe-Focal-Lens-Dia-20mm-for-CO2-Laser-Cutting-Machine-FL-1-6-3-/122068096571
However we also need a new nozzle to house it in. Reason being we'll have to graft a metal tube onto it to carry the air assist down over that distance. Depending on the 4" one, we may later want a 7.5" as well, which would also need a different nozzle. The effective cutting profile for that would be about an inch! The kerf is wider though, and the beam profile 'rougher'. 4" is a good kerf/depth compromise, it's more like a jigsaw than a sabre saw.
Tool cart requirements:
- Casters
- Tool clips
- Rare earth magnets
Dealer's choice as to varieties. No rush either as we ideally need to wait until we have our own hand tool set before constructing this. Speaking of tools, please review / add to the workshop hand tool list.
(You may wish to watch Replenishment_Requests when we get enough people using it.)
Misc reminders
Relay socket - would be lovely if possible?
New pages to review
(there are more but some aren't finished yet)
Kitchen and Main_Room (BOTH NEW) would appreciate help fleshing these two out a bit
Maintenance (NEW)
New_Member_Guide (NEW)
Replenishment_Requests newish but updated recently
Donations (new but nothing that new. tl:dr; check we actually want stuff first, especialy big or scary stuff)
Documentation to review
Tool_Usage_Policy (updated again to read as user-friendly)
Keyholder_Policy (NEW)
Health_and_Safety_Policy (updated slightly)
Documentation to create
Shutdown checklist
- The 2D printer should probably feature on it
