Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) documents, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) information, and Operator's Manuals can be found in the [[Safety and Manuals]] section.

This machine is covered under the '''CNC''' training. Users who have not completed this training cannot use this machine.

CNC:
#When facing with a superfly on aluminum, use 1500 RPM, 9% velocity slider (~10 ipm)
#When performing cuts on a thin sheet of aluminum, stabilize it on either side with 1-2-3 blocks. Also, to reduce chatter, face with an 1/2" endmill using 1500 RPM and 9% velocity slider (~10 ipm)
#When cutting a thin plate of aluminum stock, tools like the 1/2" and the shear hog will induce too much pressure and cause chatter. This can be prevented by performing your adaptive and contour operations with a small bit such as a 3/16".
#Always reference Z first
#Max grip on the vise is 5.3"
#If the safety enclosure is not properly closed, the spindle velocity will drop to 1000 RPM provided the machine is running.
#Because of the tram on the mill, the superfly will face better when cutting from right to left.
#Careful when re-installing the vice to not install it too far in the Y direction that it crashes into the accordion material at the back of the machine when reaching its limit switch in the positive Y direction.

Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) documents, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) information, and Operator's Manuals can be found in the [[Safety and Manuals]] section.

This machine is covered under the '''CNC''' training. Users who have not completed this training cannot use this machine.

CNC:
#When facing with a superfly on aluminum, use 1500 RPM, 9% velocity slider (~10 ipm)
#When performing cuts on a thin sheet of aluminum, stabilize it on either side with 1-2-3 blocks. Also, to reduce chatter, face with an 1/2" endmill using 1500 RPM and 9% velocity slider (~10 ipm)
#When cutting a thin plate of aluminum stock, tools like the 1/2" and the shear hog will induce too much pressure and cause chatter. This can be prevented by performing your adaptive and contour operations with a small bit such as a 3/16".
#Always reference Z first
#Max grip on the vise is 5.3"
#If the safety enclosure is not properly closed, the spindle velocity will drop to 1000 RPM provided the machine is running.
#Because of the tram on the mill, the superfly will face better when cutting from right to left.
#Careful when re-installing the vice to not install it too far in the Y direction that it crashes into the accordion material at the back of the machine when reaching its limit switch in the positive Y direction.

==Training==

Preventing injury to people (and equipment) is our first priority. To do this, users must demonstrate knowledge and competence. After completing Basic Training, users can earn [[Badge]]s that certify their competence. The various badges, and the equipment authorized by that badge, are described in the [[Safety and Manuals]] section.

Each machine also has an associated Job Hazard Analysis document which describes potential sources of injury for that specific machine. To access these forms, go to [[Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Documents]].

Many of the machines in the MakerSpace are "locked-out" from users until they complete the requisite training. As training is completed, users will gain access to the machines through the [[Machine Access System]].

Most importantly, '''do not ever try to use a machine that has been "tagged-out" with a DANGER notice or whose power outlet has been locked'''. If a machine seems to be behaving abnormally, immediately contact a Maker Fab Tech and describe the problem to them.
