Metalwork training - Boxford CNC mill and Metal Lathe

[Alex McConnachie]

Hello, anybody free soon to give me the induction on both of these machines? (obviously at different times if needs be) I'm free to take time out of work for it so any time is good.

I would turn up to the metal bashers but they haven't been in for the last few sessions hence asking here.

Thanks in advance!

Alex

[Calum Nicoll]

I am also super keen for inductions, and super flexible as to times!

Cheers

Calum

[Victor Ivanov]

Me too! Very flexible and keen!

Victor

[Cass M]

I am very keen as well. Less flexible (wednesdays or weekends), but obviously I won't kick up a stink if it makes sense to do a training session when I can't make it.

[Des Quilty]

Liam and Andy would normally do that type of training. Not sure if they are around at the moment..

[Jonathan Slater]

I am another keen and flexible one! Looks like us Keen and flexibles will reach critical mass soon. I am very new to LHS... Is it a case of waiting for Liam or Andy to notice this post and arrange something or do us keen and flexibles have to be a little more proactive and hunt one of them down? ;-)

[Adrian Godwin]

Best to hunt them down. Tea and cakes will help.

currently 

The interact has a faulty encoder

The Gantry needs to be re-calibrated 

The Boxford need the software and coolant system sorting 

Before youu ask for an induction please ensure you meet the criteria set out wiki links at

CNC is not trivial - If you want to get started machining it may be prudent to get some time in on a manual mill to gain an understanding and feel, in preparation for this I would sugget the MIT video's

Hi,

Has anyone managed to discuss with one of the trainers, I've got experience on both and would like to be inducted if possible?  Flexible for times.

Cheers

Jeremy

[Alex McConnachie]

If training on the manual mill is required I'm happy to undergo that first, I have some experience with metalwork on lathe and mill previously but it was a long time ago. I'll check out those videos when I have a moment,

Cheers,

Alex

BTW, you will all be happy to hear that I have improved the coolant system on the Boxford milling machine.

Hacking and modding equipment

You are not allowed to do this. Equipment is there for everyone to use, and they expect it to be left in a standard reliable state. If "maintenance" starts to require making permanent changes to the equipment, you get permission from the mailing list first before starting work on it.

Patrick

What you have done is fine but is not the only issue, the machine was in a state two day ago and only by asking did I find out who it was, 

In the case of the CNC kit no changes or calibrations should happen with out talking to the maintainer first

Hi! I'm also very keen to get an induction to the metalwork tools, including lathe and mills (manual and CNC). I'll try the MetalBashers' Wednesday meetup, but if there's any induction organised otherwise, please count me in!

Hello all, yes I would be interested in induction for these machines for sure.

Kind Regards

Looking to get induction on the Mills / CNC. I've experience in machine shops & CAD, working on the CAM training ready for when these babies are online !

Any idea when training will be available ?

Thanks

Damian

[Damian Pajak]

Pretty keen to get inducted on the CNC / Mills too ... Any idea when training will be able to start ?

Thanks

Sorry Dean, I've added myself to the list but would this include induction on the Bridgeport which is the main machine I'm hoping to get signed off on. Are there any dates set as yet ?

Thanks

Damian
