Tool for one, Tool for all

[Gadget470]

Leon:

It's not so much me needing the help. The lists aren't really for public distibution and compilation. We don't want a list of tools from every team so that team 470 knows what 173 is willing to lend out.

The type of lists I'm saying are, team 470 talks with 862, 5, and 66, (these 4 are within 20-30 min of driving). Each writes up what they have in-shop, and what they can lend out. Then the teams create a "Master-List". Something along the lines of:

Tool -------------------------- Team
CNC Mill --------------------- 470
CNC Lathe ------------------ 862
Drill Press -------------------- 470, 5
Chop Saw ------------------- 66, 862
Portable Band Saw -------- 470

etc etc etc. So when team 5 needs a days use out of a chop saw, they can call team 66 or 862 and ask if they can come in and use it. Or if 66 needs a Portable Band-Saw for a couple days, ask 470 to borrow it.

This wouldn't be a solo or group project. It's an idea for teams to get organized about know just what tools they have at their disposal, and teams without the tools to know where they can use them at.
