Re: pic: machines
Our team is based at the local high school and we get to use the machines in the woodshop and metalshop. The woodshop is complete with everything and the metalshop is going through a slow metamorphisis with a new teacher in there the past two years. The previous teacher had let alot of the stuff go to waste. The old machinery is getting replaced by more modern machinery. We currently have three running Bridgeport millers all donated (I got one donated by the company I work for), 5 lathes that have seen better days (although still running and usable for now) and hopefully will get replaced soon depending on donations and school budget. Verticle and horizontal bandsaws, acetalene, MIG, and arc welders. There are also numerous other stuff including benders, breaks, grinders, compressor, ect. The only machine currently not running and usable is a small 30+ year old surface grinder, another machine that it's moment in the sun has long passed. Some of our sponsors also help with some of our work especially this year with school cancellations.
