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.
An example kit is: https://caswellplating.com/standard-anodizing-kit.html

Accessible doors
Submitted by Kate Cebik on Thu, 09/14/2023 - 4:32pmThese would make our space more accessible for all bodies, those with disabilities and those who could just use the simplicity of an open door when carrying in items.

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.
