Jmoore: Garolite removed, contains glass fibers/silica

TinkerMill has a [http://www.shopbottools.com/ ShopBot PRS Alpha], a CNC router that can be used for cutting wood or plastic according to CAD designs. The usual workflow is to create a design in CAD or drawing software (such as Inkscape, CorelDraw, or Adobe Illustrator), load it into VCarve, which plans the cuts and outputs parts files, which are then loaded into the ShopBot software to execute on the machine.

[[File:shopbot.jpg|300px|The ShopBot at TinkerMill]]

== Basics ==
The essentials of operating the ShopBot are below. They are here as a reference, and not a substitute for taking the ShopBot class.

=== Approved Materials ===
While the ShopBot is capable of cutting many different types of material, there are some limitations. Below is a list of the approved materials on the TinkerMill ShopBot

* Soft Wood
* Hard Wood
* MDF
* Chipboard
* Plywood
* Plastics (Use caution not to melt!)1
* Foam1

1: These materials may have health hazards associated with them. Please use proper techniques to prevent dust being spread in the woodshop. Talk with your instructor for suggestions. 

[[Items discussed on Slack and '''NOT''' allowed]]: 
* Fiberglass (Carbon Fiber, Fiberglass composites, basically anything with fiberglass). Reason: Dust is a health risk. 

=== Safety ===
The typical and obvious woodshop safety precautions should also be used with the ShopBot: always wear safety glasses; keep your hands away; do not wear baggy sleeves, jewelry, etc. that might get caught. More specific to the ShopBot:
[[File:ShopBot_crush_danger.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Crush danger: keep fingers clear]]

* Do not leave the ShopBot running unattended. Hitting the space bar will pause a cut and allow it to be resumed.
* Beware of the tracks that the x-axis carriage travels on. Do not rest your hands on them. The carriage can move quickly and crush fingers.
* Be sure your work is securely mounted on the table in all three dimensions (see [[#Securing your work|Securing your work]]).
* Use adequate tabs for any profile cuts. Although there's no one tab size that works for any project, bigger tabs are always safer.

=== Starting the ShopBot ===
Scan your badge on the TinkerAccess terminal to log in. Turn the big red switch on the ShopBot to turn it on.

If the computer is not logged in, the password is "password". On the computer, start the ShopBot 3 program. Make sure all the emergency stops are not pushed. When the software starts up, you will need to push the blue reset button.

Datum the X and Y axes by pressing the 'Home X,Y Axes' button on the control window. This will zero the X and Y axes to the bed.

=== Warming up the ShopBot ===
[[File:ShopBot_temp_check.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Testing the bearing temperature]]
It is important to warm up the ShopBot before use, to protect an important (and expensive) bearing. To warm it up, start the spindle and leave it spinning for at least 20-30 minutes. A reasonable workflow is to start the spindle when you first start up the machine, and then let it go while you secure your work.

Set the RPM to 8,000 to start.
Then increase to 12,000 after about 10 minutes. 'Spindle RPM Control' is under 'Tools' on the command console.

To start the spindle, open the keypad control (hit K), and then toggle '''Output 1''' on the Position (red) pane. Then, press the green '''Start''' button on the remote.

There is a temperature sensor attached to the ShopBot. Press the button and it will display current spindle temperature in degrees Celcius. Ideally the temperature should reach 33c. This temperature was agreed to for warm part of the year. As we get into winter the group should determine what a good Winter temperature should be.

=== Securing your work ===
[[File:ShopBot_securing_work.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Securing work. The wedges shown have a slightly wrong angle; this image only for illustration.]]
It is important to secure your work to the ShopBot table in all three dimensions, so that it cannot slide, lift, or spin. There are several ways to do this:
* Secure it to the spoilboard with screws. Be sure you use enough and that they sufficiently extend into the ShopBot table (about 1/4").
* If you cannot screw into your work, you can wedge it in place horizontally and clamp it down vertically, as show in the image to the left. (TODO: fix the wedges and take a new photo.)
It is also important that any pieces that may be cut free remain secure.

=== Changing bits ===
[[File:ShopBot_bit_installation.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Installing a bit. The wrench arrangement shown will tighten when squeezed.]]
'''Safety note:''' be sure to close the keypad control before changing the bit. This ensures that it takes more than a single button press to start the tool.

Snap the appropriately-sized collet into the collet nut. Before inserting the bit, align it with the ShopBot spindle and screw it in a few turns. Then, insert the bit and hold it while you hand-tighten the nut. Be sure the flutes are entirely exposed, so the collet has full contact with the bit (and no empty space). Carefully tighten the nut with the two wrenches. It's easiest to align the wrenches so they can just be squeezed together, although it takes some mental acrobatics to apply the right-hand rule upside-down and with a pair of wrenches.

=== Zeroing ===

Manually zero the X and Y axis to the origin of you material using the keypad and the Zero Axis button.

'''NOTE: '''If using the X&Y zero of the machine, make sure that your tool path does not cut into the wooden blocks on the board (ie the cutter goes slightly into the negative in the X or Y direction). These are zeroed and squared to the bed. If you damage these, you will be responsible for replacement and re-planing of the damaged blocks. Report this to the shop captain if this occurs.

Connect the Z zeroing plate to the connector on the Z axis. Test the Z zeroing plate's continuity by tapping the bottom of the bit to the plate. Input 1 should light up indicating proper continuity. Make sure that the plate is clean and will not shift position during the routine.

'''IMPORTANT!''' You should always zero to the bed when cutting through material. Make sure that your V carve file is set up with the Z zero at the bottom of your material. If you fail to zero this properly and end up cutting into the spoil board, you will be responsible for re-planing or replacement of the spoil board. Report this to the shop captain if this occurs.

Proceed to zero the Z axis using the 'Z zero' button on the control window.

=== Loading and running cuts ===

Once ready to run your tool path, click on 'File>PART FILE LOAD' and select the tool path you wish to run.

Ensure that you have the right file loaded, and press the green "Start" button on the control window. This will prompt you to start the spindle by manually pressing the green start button on the control pendant. Make sure that you press the start button on the control pendant before clicking 'OK' on the spindle start prompt. If 'OK' is pressed before the spindle is running, the gantry will begin moving and can break your bit and damage the machine.

Stay with the machine as it is running and keep an eye out for anything that does not seem right. Stop the machine if something does not seem right and investigate the cause.

== VCarve and planning ShopBot cuts ==
So you have a beautiful drawing of your part, and you have a ShopBot, which can move a tool around in 3-dimensional space. How can you put the two together to cut your part out? The task of planning toolpaths--where the bit is going to move, and at what speed--is usually accomplished using [http://www.vectric.com/products/vcarve.htm VCarve]. A trial edition is sufficient for planning cuts, and then you can save your work and load it on the full version at TinkerMill to calculate and export toolpaths, which are then loaded into the ShopBot software to be executed. TinkerMill has a MakerSpace license for VCarve Pro, which allows members to activate a home installation of VCarve as clients. The activation key is provided to those taking the ShopBot class.

=== Loading a drawing ===

VCarve can read several drawing formats, including <code>.ai</code> and <code>.dxf</code> files. Choose "File > Open" and select the file. This example is done with <code>Made at TinkerMill v1.ai</code>. The Job Setup interface will appear. This is where you can adjust the size of the work, and define where the axes zeros will be. ''Tip: By default, the default work dimensions are a bounding box on the design. If you want the drawing centered on a slightly larger workpiece, input the new dimensions in the Job Size field, and then check and uncheck the "Scale design with job size" box.''

[[File:ShopBot_VCarve_job_setup.jpg|300px|thumb|left|The Job Setup interface. Set the size and zero positions of your work.]]

Setting zeros is an important step, and you must be careful that the zero position you choose on the design matches the zeros you set on the machine when you go to cut. Zeroing to the bottom of the workpiece is a safe choice, because you can then zero the machine to the bed, and know that you won't cut through it. Note, however, that your choices here are not final--you can change the zero settings later.

Drum Sander

2020-08-02T23:28:47Z

Jmoore: Updated drum sander grits stocked and price

Powermatic Drum Sander PM2244

'''(Still under construction)'''

'''Tool link:'''
http://www.powermatic.com/us/en/p/pm2244-drum-sander-1-3-4hp-115v/1792244

'''Usage Guidelines:'''

1. Get trained on this tool before use. It is a highly precise tool. Respect the tool.

2. You must use your own sandpaper roll. Get trained on how to load the paper. Each roll of abrasive is about 13 bucks per roll.

3. Always clean the abrasive sandpaper roll after each use.

4. Do not make adjustments to the alignment or tables. Contact a shop captain for help first if something looks out of alignment. Users should only need to adjust the feed speed and height.

5. Pay attention to manufacturer specified maximum and minimum dimensions for stock:
Maximum board width: single pass: 22 in. (559 mm); two passes – 44 in. (1188 mm)
Maximum board thickness: 4 in. (102 mm)
Minimum board length: 2-3/8 in. (60 mm)
Minimum board thickness: 1/32 in. (0.8 mm)

6. The burning of the belt will occur, especially with higher grits (greater than 80), if the depth is reduced too quickly. Slowly remove material with higher grits.

'''Abrasives:'''
Sandpaper rolls are now available to purchase from TinkerMill. Various grits are available, 80 and 100 grit are standard at TinkerMill for $10 each.

If the template that is used to cut abrasive strips to fit the drum sander ever needs to be created again, the VCarve design can be found here:[[File:Drum_Sander_Template_Final_-_ShopBot.dxf]]. The wiki would not let me upload a .CRV file, so I had to give it a DXF extension. Rename the file after downloading.

Sandpaper rolls can also be purchased on Amazon or the internet or other local sources, although they are likely more expensive and less convenient. Edit this page if you find out where they can be found locally. A few links to get started.

'''TM Usage Video:'''
To be made

'''How to make Abrasives from large rolls:'''

A template is available in the storage room. The top (3 parts) and bottom (3 parts) set of templates sandwich the belt which is 3 inches wide. Belts that are 2 7/8" will not work. The belt should be placed grit side down. The front and back tapers should be cut with an utility knife. Rolls should be made about 2.5" in diameter and wrapped with masking tape with the grit number written on the outside and $10 so members know how much to pay at the front iPad.

Jmoore:

The TinkerMill has a wonderful and complete woodworking shop. We communicate using Slack in #woodshop for tool repair status and event coordination.

''The wood shop is a great place to learn basic woodworking and more advanced woodworking skills.''

[[File:woodshop.jpg|300px|The wood shop at TinkerMill]]

== Top things you should know about the Wood Shop ==

1. '''Woodshop classes are taught every month'''. You must take the Wood Shop Introduction and Safety class (Wood Shop 101) before using any of the power tools that are not hand power tools. All TinkerMill members can use hand non-powered and hand power tools. All larger power tools, such as the drill press, chop saw among others can be used after taking a certification class. The ShopBot, SawStop, and Lathe have their own separate certification classes. See the MeetUp calendar https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/upcoming for the coming classes.

2. The SawStop table saw is incredibly accurate, powerful and full of safety features. '''It can be used after Saw Stop Certification class.'''

3. '''Every user of the space is responsible for cleaning up during and after your project.''' There is no cleaning service. If you don't clean up your mess another TinkerMill Member will be forced to clean up and you may loose privileges to use the space. Follow the 105% rule - Leave the space 5% better than the way you found it.

4. The Wood Shop is for wood projects only. Do not use any of the tools on non-wood. The general work bench in the main room has tools to be used for other materials.

Jmoore:

The TinkerMill has a wonderful and complete woodworking shop. We communicate using Slack in #woodshop for tool repair status and event coordination.

''The wood shop is a great place to learn basic woodworking and more advanced woodworking skills.''

[[File:woodshop.jpg|300px|The wood shop at TinkerMill]]

== Top things you should know about the Wood Shop ==

1. '''Woodshop classes are taught every month'''. You must take the Wood Shop Introduction and Safety class (Wood Shop 101) before using any of the power tools that are not hand power tools. All TinkerMill members can use hand non-powered and hand power tools. All larger power tools, such as the drill press, chop saw among others can be used after taking a certification class. The ShopBot, SawStop, and Lathe have their own separate certification classes. See the MeetUp calendar https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/upcoming for the coming classes.

2. The SawStop table saw is incredibly accurate, powerful and full of safety features. '''It can be used after Saw Stop Certification class.'''

3. '''Every user of the space is responsible for cleaning up during and after your project.''' There is no cleaning service. If you don't clean up your mess another TinkerMill Member will be forced to clean up and you may loose privileges to use the space. Follow the 105% rule - Leave the space 5% better than the way you found it.

4. The Wood Shop is for wood projects only. Do not use any of the tools on non-wood. The general work bench in the main room has tools to be used for other materials.

== Tool and Room Usage ==
* Find out if the SawStop Table Saw is in use on the https://tinkermill.slack.com/archives/machine-usage slack channel
* Find out if the Wood Shop is reserved: http://wiki.tinkermill.org/index.php/Resource_Scheduling#How_to_View_the_Resource_Calendars. The wood shop can only be reserved for classes.

Jmoore: General clean up and removed reference to community night.

The TinkerMill has a wonderful and complete woodworking shop. We communicate using Slack in #woodshop for tool repair status and event coordination.

''The wood shop is a great place to learn basic woodworking and more advanced woodworking skills.''

[[File:woodshop.jpg|300px|The wood shop at TinkerMill]]

== Top things you should know about the Wood Shop ==

1. '''Woodshop classes are taught every month'''. You must take the Wood Shop Introduction and Safety class (Wood Shop 101) before using any of the power tools that are not hand power tools. All TinkerMill members can use hand non-powered and hand power tools. All larger power tools, such as the drill press, chop saw among others can be used after taking a certification class. The ShopBot and Lathe have their own separate certification classes. See the MeetUp calendar https://www.meetup.com/LongmontHackerSpace/events/upcoming for the coming classes.

2.

3. The SawStop table saw is incredibly accurate, powerful and full of safety features. '''It can be used after Saw Stop Certification class.'''

4. '''Every user of the space is responsible for cleaning up during and after your project.''' There is no cleaning service. If you don't clean up your mess another TinkerMill Member will be forced to clean up and you may loose privileges to use the space. Follow the 105% rule - Leave the space 5% better than the way you found it.

5. The Wood Shop is for wood projects only. Do not use any of the tools on non-wood. The general work bench in the main room has tools to be used for other materials.

== Tool and Room Usage ==
