Makerspace Wiki

Welcome. This is the reference guide for every tool and piece of equipment in the space — what it does, how to use it, what materials and settings it takes, and how to stay safe around it.

Before You Use Anything

Read this first

If you have not been trained/certified on a specific machine, do not use it. Check the Safety section of the relevant category page, and ask a shop lead if you're unsure.
