[[Tier 1 Cold Metals Authorization]] required.
...and... at the moment we're still sorting it out for use at PS1.
=== Authorization ===
= Major Specs =
While this machine has '''metric''' lead screws and handwheels, it is dimensioned in inches. It's OK, just don't try to land it on Mars.
: '''lathe''' : 3.5" swing, 8" between centers, or 4.75" swing single-ended with headstock spacer; 1/4" square tooling
: '''mill''' : 6.25" Z travel, 4.25" crosslide travel, 2.25" throat (3.5" with spacer); 3/8" tool holder
: '''power''' : 60W DC motor with speed control
: '''speed''' : 70-2800 rpm or 35-1400 rpm

==== not hurting people ====
Ralph Brendler very generously donated this "full Sherline clockmaking (metric) setup with all the trimmings (rotating table, change gears, milling column, and lots more)". Apparently in 2017. Time passed. Per area host Jim Brink, Paul is "danger committee of one" checking it out and trying to get it online. This is a start at documenting the tool and determining what authorization it may or may not require. Eventually the blathery parts will go away.

=== Clues for being excellent ===
