Our team is lucky to have a school with a machine shop, and after reading this thread I think that we have probably one of the more lenient approaches to allowing students to use the machines. We only have to have a school representative there to accompany us, i.e a teacher. Its not bad because our leader happens to be a teacher at the school so it really hasn't been a big problem. However our team has a rule that any student must be accompanied by an adult mentor when in the machine shop.
