Equipment Report

• The Endstop for the Shopbot came in
• Please make sure that you review the instructions and manual and ask for the training prior to using the equipment. Someone can get really hurt.
• Please give me as much information as possible; i/e links to websites. Consumables are difficult to find sometimes and I am not a mind reader!
• If your project doesn't fit on your shelf or in large member storage, please take it off site. The boneyard isn't your own personal storage shed.
• Community safety is more important than your personal convenience.
