I have done some cleaning but have not gone through each machine to test all functions. As far as I know all machines are operational, or at least nothing new broke. No injuries.
There is a new bandsaw, getting that operational will take more time than the all-in-one due to its weight and configuration. Priority is finding a way to move it either by forklift or by building a mobile base for it. Since it is 840lbs, and not 350lbs as I thought, this will need some thinking. As last resort it can be pushed out of the weld shop with 5 to 6 people to the outside wall of the weld shop, about 12 feet. It might fit next to the bridgeport mill.
We have a donated lathe drill combination machine (all-in-one) with a rolling stand that needs to be evaluated. This unit was donated by the AFRL Makerspace at Kirtland! Putting it into production should not take as long as the bandsaw. Need to find space for it, swap the chucks, read the manual, build a cover for exposed spinning parts, label functions, test operations, identify safety problems and lastly come up with training. It might fit where the red engine hoist is.
I bought a book on generic band saw operation and it had some tips on maintenance which could be applied to the existing jet saw in the machine shop.
As the new Area Captain, there is a lot to do to. I need to collect documentation that existed for the machine shop and figure out the maintenance schedules for the machines. Things like grease, oil, etc
