Mstallard: /* Basics */ Added approved materials section

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
* Garolite (G10)/FR41
* Foam1
* Aluminum (drilling operations and thin sheet metal)2

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. 
2: Only with prior approval from Ron or Matt. Contact them via Slack or email in advance for approval.

=== 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 ===
[[File:ShopBot_lockbox.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Lockbox for key to ShopBot power switch]]
Make sure the ShopBot is plugged in, since it is currently sharing a 3-phase outlet with the table saw. (If the table saw has a green light on the RFID box, hit the red button to log out the previous user before unplugging it.)

Open the lockbox using the code provided in the ShopBot class, and unlock the power switch. It's recommended that you return the key and lock the lockbox, and just leave the padlock open while you are using the ShopBot.

If the computer is not logged in, the password is written on top of the tower. 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.

=== 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 about 20 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.

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 an IR laser thermometer in the drawers next to the computer. Use it to measure the temperature of the wide black ring at the bottom of the router, just above the plexiglass. Ideally the temperature should reach 85F, but this may be difficult in the winter.

=== 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 ===

=== Loading and running cuts ===

== 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.

Mstallard: /* How to View the Resource Calendars */

==Resource Scheduling==
Many of the resources at TinkerMill can be scheduled for use by TinkerMill members. All of the scheduling is done through google calendars and is visible by TinkerMill members only. The calendar allows members to reserve time on equipment or rooms.

==Scheduling guidelines==
:*Members should try to schedule their time on the machine as early in advance as possible.
:*If a time slot is reserved by a member, it has priority over any other drop in users, even if the previous user is still using a machine.
:*If a member who reserved a machine in advance is more than 15 minutes late to their session, they forfeit their priority.
:*Any unscheduled time is considered drop in hours where anyone can drop in and use the equipment at their convenience.

==How to View the Resource Calendars==
You may go to [http://calendar.tinkermill.org TinkerMill Calendar] and view any of the available calendars or chose from the links below for specific calendars.

==How to Add a Resource Calendar to your TinkerMill Calendar==
Being able to view a resource calendar on your own calendar can be a useful thing for knowing when equipment is reserved or not.

There are two ways to add a resource calendar to your personal calendar.
===Use the Calendar Links===
This is an easy way to add single calendars at a time

#Click on the link for the Calendar that you would like (see above)
#In the bottom right hand corner of the frame, there is a small '''"+"''' button. By clicking this, you will add the calendar to your calendar.

===From your own Calendar===
More useful for adding multiple calendars at once

#In you TinkerMill Calendar in the left pane there is a list of '''"Other calendars"'''
#Click the drop down button near "Other calendars" and select '''"Browse Interesting Calendars"'''
#Select the '''"More"''' tab at the top of the list
#Click '''"Resources for tinkermill.org"''' from the list
#You will now get a list of all of the TinkerMill resouces. On the right hand side of each item, you may subscribe to each resource you would like to be shared in your TinkerMill Calendar.

==Reserving Resource Time==
From your personal TinkerMill calendar, you may reserve resource time the same way you would reserve a conference room.
#Create an event at the time that you would like to use the resource
#Click the event and select '''"Edit Event"'''
#On the left side of the screen, under '''"Add:"''' select '''"Rooms,etc."'''
#Select the resource you would like to reserve during that time. If the resource you would like to select does not show up, it means that it has already been reserved for that time and is not available.
