Which tools are members-only?

Some of our larger or more complex tools can only be used by members. Typically this is because these tools take longer to induct people on or require a large amount of volunteer time to maintain. The primary members-only tools are:

  • 3D printers
  • CNC router
  • Wood and Metal lathes
  • Mill
  • Foundry
  • Knife forge
  • Digital Signal Analyzer

Some of our other tools are technical open to day pass attendees but require an induction that isn't run frequently. Since members get priority for inductions in practice the following tools are difficult to use as a day pass user:

  • Welders
