Machine Shop - Student Shop

The student shop is available for Physics Department and Chemistry Department projects. Training is mandatory. Before you are granted access, you will need to take a training session and agree to a set of safety rules. There is a general training session, which covers the basics and also the bandsaw. There are also training sessions for the Lathe and the Milling Machine.
