I only belong for the two 100w laser engravers so I can’t use their bandsaw even though it’s the same brand and model as mine.
Roger, can you share anything more about the proximity fob like make/model and how it’s wired into the equipment? Also, can someone with training still get seriously hurt and then try to sue the club’s leaders for negligence? I’d like to open a makers space when I retire for woodworkers, but worry that someone could sue the LLC leaders (me) and get to my retirement savings.
