Team 854 has two lathes and a mill. We also have a CNC lathe and mill, but the lathe needs a new controller, and we are just beginning to use them. The problem is, they are running very old software, and it is reletively difficult to use- machine codes and such. We also have a radial drilling machine, which is basically a glorified drill press with auto-feed, MIG/Aluminum welder, and many wood working tools. Occasionally, we sneak next door to the Auto tech room to use their goodies: Metal bandsaw, tubing bender, shear, sheet bender, and various other tools.
We are very fortunate that we are one of the few schools in Toronto (Canada) that still has access to decent tech-ed facilities, so if there are any schools in T.O who need help with machine work, let us know and we'll see what we can do.
