Re: FRC Build Season Workshop Resources
I know our machine shop is larger than the average team workshop. At our school, we have:
3-axis mill refitted to a be a CNC.
3-axis mill
lathe
vertical bandsaw (a new $3500 one)
horizontal bandsaw
drill press
grinder
TIG welder
chop saw
a few compressed air drops
hand tools
Additionally, we have access to a pretty big woodshop, and to another workshop, with several welders, mills, lathes, drill presses, laser and plasma cutters, and a rapid prototyping machines. We also might have access to a big waterjet machine.
How often do we use this stuff? Depends. We use the lathe, mills, and bandsaw often. We will probably try and more use more this year, but those are by far the most valuable tools we have.
