Mill Stuff

(Since budget is limited, do we want to focus on completeness, on key capitol items, on things that a member cannot buy locally as needed? Also, do we prefer sets which store in their own box, or should we start moving to organized wall storage for things like cutters, fixtures, wrenches associated with each machine? - Chris)

(Note this does not include the corresponding drills. Unless we get the 115-piece drill set ($175 and up) we would have to also order the specific size drill for each tap.)

  • Vise [1] $59.99
  • Bench grinder $129.35
  • Rotary platform [2] $175.00
  • Tail stock for H5940 [3] $56.95
  • Jaw Chuck for Rotary Table [4] $97.95
  • Cutters: T-slot
  • Machinist's Blue Dye [5] $22.99

Tap and die set + vise + bench grinder + blue dye = $255.28

All of this stuff: $606.24

Available Lathes

* Steven Brower's 9" Enco lathe $800 (space suit not included)

    • In terms of expenses to make this go:
      • Moving (zipcar or borrow, anyone have a furniture dolly?)
      • Spare belt ($12-35 depending on source)
      • Bench
      • $20 for some cheap cutter blanks to grind to shape
      • Bunch of safety glasses
      • $30-40 shop vac I already donated one --Guan 14:21, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
      • $50 6" bench grinder (may be able to get on loan from Norman)
      • +likely some bar stock or pvc pipe to practice on


  • Ron's lathe from City College: free + transport!
  1. (old post) Lathe - 9"x20" might be a good size, and could go in the "hallway" as long as it has an internal drive headstock, though if we allocate more space a heavy 10" or larger can take 5c collets but will be a challenge to get up the stairs. Probably anywhere from $500 (if lucky) to $1500, plus some tooling expenditures down the road.
  2. Current plan: place in plexi room/machine shop, spend $500-$1000

Gear We Need

MUST GET

  1. Drill press - smaller bench model or larger one? Depends on where we want to put it $90-200
  2. drill bits index (there's a standard set of fractional, number and letter drills)
  3. Bandsaw - do we try to get one with the extra reducer to get it almost into light metal cutting range?
  4. Palm sander
  5. Bench sander
  6. Screw guns/drills
  • Toolchest with:
  1. Screw driver set, both regular and miniature
  2. Hex Key set, both regular and miniature
  3. Torx Key set, both regular and miniature, also "security" torx
  4. Nibbler
  5. Chisels
  6. Crescent wrench
  7. Clamps
  8. Hacksaw, perhaps jeweler's saw frame, also "Atlas track saw" (cheap, made for HO/N train track)
  • Workbench with vise
  • Length measurement (Tape measure, ruler, caliper)
  • Extension cables and power strips
  • Trash can + recycling bin
  • Sewing machines, pref. older metal ones

SHOULD GET

  • Printer/Paper/Ink
  • Hook-up wire (can often source from scrap network cable)
  • Breadboards
  • SMT resistor and capacitor assortment "book" [[6]] $40

HOPE AND PRAY TO GET

  • laser - "Lasersaur" open source project looks interesting.
  • Lasercutter -- at the 30 september meeting someone mentioned that 80W was better but they are all crazy expensive. Top of the list so far: http://www.cnc-laser-cutter.com/lasercut.html
  • Shopbot -- these look like they go for $10k - $15k, but we might be able to get a better deal. We should figure out how this compares to a laser cutter. It looks like it is significantly more versatile and the manufacturer is hackerspace friendly.

Please add to this list

ON LOAN FROM MEMBERS

  • CNC - as a separate machine or an add-on to manual lathe / mill?

-- -- Build a DIYLILCNC? Buy a Shopbot? Other types?

  • 3D Printer (Plastic Mendel parts already donated - still needs hardware and electronics/motors)
  • Computing
  1. Computers even older (especially if they have real parallel ports for I/O hacks) -

perhaps repurpose older, very cheap thin clients as hardware hosts? They're small and generally have the IO ports (http://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hware/hardware.shtml)

  1. Monitors - preferably LCD
  2. Keyboards and mice
  3. USB extensions and hubs
  4. Networking (cables, router, etc)
  5. Jigsaw
  6. Wire cutters
  7. Wire strippers
  8. Pliers
