Glad this is up and running again! Sometimes it just takes the time and focus of one or more members to move it forward. There is a balance of buying tools and paying for help we need as well as self sufficient DIY… not sure there is a specific timeframe or answer or it probably depends on the tool/project in question…

I have also seen this ‘per member’ math a bunch in the past on discourse, and it makes no sense- £2500 is £2500. We could spend on something else or save.

So in my opinion coming up with how many pennies each thing costs per member per month is not a good way to budget at all as everything is ‘cheap’ if you divide it enough!

Thanks Ed, helpful to share knowledge - sounds like the root issue was not a member mis-using it.

#23

No, it absolutely was misuse as root cause. The underlying issue was an annoyance but did not lead to machine failure.

How did you get there?

When smoke comes out switch it off and call for help !

#25

It looks like it has already been broken again

I think that we can say its out of action again

#26

Oh dear. I thought it wasn’t quite back online and even running yet…waiting for the belt to be changed/added?..did Ed mention something about it earlier?

Same fault as before or a whole new one?

#27

We appear to have lost the gard and it can’t run without the gard

I saw it under the mitter saw two or three days ago.
