Re: Event Machine Shops

Our school provides the mobile machine shop at some Ontario events. The tools that is used the most is usually the lathe. After that is usually the bandsaw. Things like the arbor press, vice and drill press also come in handy but teams often bring their own and share.

Edit: I really believe a small lathe is essential. There's been numerous times where teams would not have been able to continue to compete without a access to a lathe due to a failed shaft in their drivetrain.
