Re: One thing you learnt this season
Tighten the bolts that hold the 18 inch sanding disk EVERY time you use it.
MAPP gas torch w/o oxygen can be forced to work (with some modifications to the nozzle)
DO NOT try to bend plexi, nylon, Acrylic, polycarb etc w/ a MAPP gas torch without oxygen. If you do try that, do it outside. TOXIC FUMES
Keep your fingers away from things that move quickly and/or are designed to cut things.
Depressurize/power down everthing when working on it
Do not expect classmates to put in estra aftershool hours.
Do not restrict team members to persons in the class.
Do not eat locktite, antifreeze, or buffing compound (kevin and james)
Carbide wood blades cut aluminum in a chop saw (scary)
Table saws cut aluminum (and then throw it across the room)
Tighten the chuck on the lathe
Label every thing
Put everthing away
Take everthing metal and large away from Kevin when he is trying to "caress" a part into a hole. (unless you want the part destroyed and then thrown across the room in anger)
Grinders like to eat Kevin's keystock
You can't drill 10 mm 68 rockwell hardened steel shafts with normal HSS bits. The steel shatters.
T-nuts are annoying
Drop-in T-nuts are AWSOME
Do not let Rasiik tighten stuff you want to get apart again
Good luck this year!!!
