2 inch high waterjet brick panels for cutting glass and more delicate or intricate parts inother materials.
Submitted by Linda Parsloe on Thu, 10/05/2023 - 12:31pmA flat and uniform support for the glass is essential to avoid cracking. The Waterjet Brick works well for cutting glass. Cut on top of Waterjet Brick to avoid frosting the back side of the glass with slat splashback. Avoids the risk of sprayback from slat deflection as much as possible. If the precautions are not taken to avoid sprayback, the glasspiece can be frosted or broken outright because of the spray pressure from the deflection.

Anodizing Station for Aluminum, Titanium, Niobium, etc.
Submitted by Nathan Rawling on Sun, 09/17/2023 - 5:48pmWe have a lot of tools available for creating parts, but limited options for finishing them. We can buff and paint, and do some bake-on coatings.
An anodizing set up would work on a number of different metals and would create an opportunity for beautiful shiny parts.

Router Table
This is the JessEm Mast-R-Lift II Router Table. A router table is a specialized tool designed to enhance precision and control compared to using a handheld router. Its primary purpose is to provide a stable and flat work surface with a hole or opening where the router bit protrudes, allowing woodworkers to guide their workpieces accurately and safely. Woodworkers commonly use router tables for tasks like edge profiling, dado cutting, and creating intricate joinery, as it offers improved stability and repeatability compared to freehand routing.
