Fuse gone? Metal Area 24 Jan 24 - Fixed!

Tags: #<Tag:0x00007fa4981db0c0>

Hello
I turned up today to use the MIG welder and found the metal area has made the big move! Great to see!

I couldn’t use the welder though because a fuse went last night someone said. Can you let me know when it is fixed so I can start my project? Are there plans to get the spot welder set up?

And can I help get the MIG/angle grinding area organised in any way; sorting tools, putting hooks on walls etc?

Thanks
Kim

Hi,

Yesterday evening unfortunately the solid state relay board that is controlling power to the metal shop had it’s channel 1 burnt, which controls if power is enabled at all. As a result we temporarily don’t have electricity (three phase). Single phase can be borrowed from woodshop. We are figuring out what needs to be done tonight and hoping to have it fixed or at least patched up/rewired until weekend.

On the spot welder, the machine has all wiring but disconnected atm as we don’t have space around it. If we do some sort of cleanup, we could try powering it on.

We’ve rewired power tonight so metalshop and welding in particular is back online :ballot_box_with_check:

If you want to make welding area nicer, go for it! We’ve done some quick arrangement when moving, but it’s far from perfect.

Y’all are awesome.

Wow that was fast! Thank you so much. Look forward to working in the new welding bay area. Will do some arranging along the way.
