Safety Note
When drilling a hole at the end of a long piece of wood, steel, or anything that can wound you: have the long end of the piece to your LEFT as you stand at the drill press.
The chuck spins clockwise when drilling a hole. If the bit gets stuck in your material and the material spins with the bit, it will hit the post holding up the drill press, not your ribs.
Rule and Regulation of the Week
You must be checked out on every power tool / machine at the Makerspace prior to using it. Many of the power tools are a member's personal property that they are sharing with the membership.
Although you may have used a lathe for 20 years, take the time to be trained on the specific lathe at the Space which you want to use.
