Welcome to the new academic year 2017/18

We'd like to give a big welcome to all new students and those returning for another academic year!

Over the coming weeks things will be picking up and the machine shop inductions dates are now up.
We have some extra machine shop inductions for the Live Projects on the 2nd & 4th of October to get you going on your new projects.

What's new at the workshop?


Over the summer we have been busy upgrading the machine shop.

Hegner Multicut Quick Scrollsaw
Mobile Bench with 2 x Hegner Multicut 1 & Extraction
We have 2 brand new Hegner Multicut Quick Scrollsaw's built into a table with integrated dust extraction.
It's a great improvement over our previous scrollsaw.
This is great for fine detail work in wood and acrylic. Has a large throat capacity and able to do angled cuts. It also has a really quick and simple mechanism for removing the blade to enable easy internal cuts.


Axminster BS11 Bandsaw



A bandsaw which is great for cutting smaller materials. Can be easily set up to do angled cuts.




We look forward to seeing you all soon.

Stuart & Rob
