Changes

The [[Central Machinery Metal Bandsaw]], [[DoAll Drill Press]], [[Bench Grinder (6in)]], [[Sears Belt Sander|Belt Sander]], et cetera are under a Tier 1 certification process. The [[Johnson Bandsaw]] should also fall under Tier 1 once it is operational. Monitor the mailing list for class announcements.

In the cold metals area we have grouped together authorizations on the non-precision cutting tools into a single authorization called "Tier 1". The [[Central Machinery Metal Bandsaw]], [[DoAll Drill Press]], [[Bench Grinder (6in)]], [[Sears Belt Sander|Belt Sander]], [[Johnson Bandsaw]] are under a Tier 1 certification process. The session covers basic operation and safety on the machines.

And hopefully you. We want as many people available to do Tier 1 certification as we can get. The idea is to promote safety, and get people used to the sounds that a machine tool cutting well makes. Ed has a script that he's working on, and will make available. If you're confident you know how to use the tier 1 tools well, the test is to teach the certification to one of the people who already is a Tier 1 Certifier.

New authorizers get authorized to authorize others by (1) having some

amount of presence in the shop and (2) closely following the "script"

observed by an authorized authorizer. During such a session, the  

observing authorizer should _not_ have to speak. Obviously if the new

authorizer-to-be has _significant_ problems in communication of the

content of the "script", the observing authorizer will contribute to the

discussion. For the new authorizer-to-be it's a test, not an opportunity

for team-teaching.
