Wood workshop Tool Control hard to reach

Hello,

There are some projects being stored in front of the tool control in the wood workshop making it hard to reach. Tool control had also been left logged in from the day before, and some tools left powered on.


Thanks to the shorty@SquigLeah for modelling.

Cheers

Could you check whose projects those are please? Looks like that stuff should be in sheet storage or of unlabeled in the scrap pile

I left tool control on in the woodshop when I left the woodshop as others were still in the space. Though no one was in the woodshop, there was someone working in metalworking area. I’m so used to the idea that only need to turn off at tool control in Arch2 that I didn’t think to separately turn off tools like the chop saw. (Not sure which other tools might have been left on). Even so, I’d expect this to be shut down by the person who closes up.

Woodshop workbenches were left in a bit of a mess with rubbish, used mugs, empty cans, and things left on them. I spent a bit of time tidying it up before I left and putting things away as best as I could, but please could people clear their rubbish, mugs etc. and put things away.

Just to clarify, if you’re signed in on the woodshop and you leave, please sign out just as you would any other tool on TC. If someone else wants to use the outlets/chop saw in the wood shop they can sign in.

Also for information - Big CNC is in a separate circuit, so signing out of the wood shop won’t mess with anything in progress.

And people please clean up after yourselves. If you see the wood shop in a bad state and no one there, please post a photo here:

So last person using the woodshop should sign out of tool control - even if others are working in Arch2 in metalworking or ceramics areas? If someone is working on the big CNC, then last person using the woodshop should also sign out.

(I was in woodshop using the big CNC).

Might be silly to ask that, but what’s the time frame on the gorilla?

Yup. Even if someone else is working in the woodshop and you’re signed in, let them know and they can sign in.

The stuff attached to the main wood TC node shouldn’t effect anything in ceramics or metal or CNC areas, those are in their own circuits.

I think the idea Dan is mentioning is that wood shop tool control is not “arch 2” tool control. There is no “arch 2” control anymore as far as I understand. Metal and wood and ceramics are separate.

I’ll add a clarifying note to the box when I get back
