Minutes

  • Bob F’s digital table router is almost ready for use
  • Jeremy will connect to Duane E to Mike R about solar installation.
  1. Adrian B: xTool F2 Ultra update
  • Smoke is backfeeding from the red laser cutter into the xTool laser cutter. Adrian is working on it. He may have time to fix it Tuesday but likely it will be Wednesday. Then we need to train users on opening and closing the blast gate. 
  • In the meantime, the xTool is down. 
  • The laser cutters are getting some heavy use, particularly on Wednesday mornings. 
  • Adrian will talk to Don C and Mark M about it. 
  1. Tom W: CNC mill update
  • The internal PC has been upgraded to Windows 11. They'll streamline the internals and power supply soon.
  • Good class on Saturday. The area is coming together. 
  1. Adrian B: CNC Dept floor update
  • There were lots of shallow holes and cracks in the CNC area, making it hazardous to use rolling chairs. So Terry G and Jesus from Mike’s company used self-leveling cement to fix the holes. The area will be ready for chairs again on Wednesday.
  • Adrian is contemplating buying more vinyl flooring to put on the floor.
