Lab Safety:

Cleaning Before and After Use is a good practice to follow with any machine but this machine create lot of dust so wearing mask is important

This machine is open and work under high speed and stress so It can be dangerous to anything wrong. There are safety instruction written on machine itself that needed to be follow

Ear safety is must bacause It make Loud noise when it cut plywood... Good to keep this machine in separate room where it will not disturb others works

Here bit is cover with plastic to prevent dust from spreading. This bit work on speed and power and can be broke if not used properly or due to any reason. Broken piece will shoot out surround can hit someone like bullet came out from gun so safety gear and safe distance so be considered

Here is setting we all use in cutting our shapes.

Some Beautiful group moments. Here miss. Apeksha have supported us she is fab group member and local instructor.
