Things we'd love to have. Care to Donate something to us?
Basic guidelines:
If it's bigger than a desktop PC, ask first. Space is limited.
-
NO CRT MONITORS. PERIOD.
We have more little DC & stepper motors than we know what to do with. We don't have room for your non-functional inkjet printer.
Big items:
Laser Cutter/Engraver (we have one now, but the more the merrier…)
Rolling Tool Chests
Manual Mill (benchtop preferable to floor-standing at the moment)
-
Modern computers (nothing older than three years, please)
Standalone belt sander or Belt/Disc Sander combo
Plasma cutter
MIG Welder
TIG Welder
Sheet Metal Brake/Bender
Smaller Items:
USB Microscope
Cordless Tools & Batteries - preferably systems we already have if it's Ni-Cd, but Ryobi 18V would be pretty cool as well, given it's multi-chemistry and supported for the last 20 years or so…
A decent modern corded drill
A laser printer in good working condition.
1/4“ and 1/8” shank endmills. Any cutting shape/size.
Tool bits in general (dremel, 1/4“ lathe bits for the Taig, drills, etc.)
Angle Grinders (we have two on hand, more would be nice)
angle grinder discs (4-1/2”)- any kind
Die Grinder, or any other
Air Tools we don't already have.
Hot plate suitable for reflow soldering?
