==Consumables==
General-purpose blades suitable for most applications are provided by Asmbly. We understand that some users may wish to provide a more application-specific blade; if this is the case, please discuss with the [mailto:workshop@asmbly.org Workshop Committee] on getting checked out to change the blade and properly adjust the SawStop brake cartridge. Inexpert blade changes can lead to misfire of the blade brake.

<b>If you cause the brake to fire, you will be charged for a replacement! Go to the Neon store and purchase a blade and cartridge for $160.</b>

The SawStop system is designed to reduce the risk of personal injury when using the table saw. The brake cartridge is single-use and must be replaced after engagement. It may be falsely triggered by conductive materials, for example

* Metallic fixtures (like an aluminum miter gauge)
* Very wet wood, especially when its treated
* Metallized plastics (like mirrored acrylic)
* Heavily carbonized (ie burnt) wood
* Embedded fasteners (screws / nails / staples)

Asmbly keeps spare brake cartridges and blades in stock.

==Troubleshooting==

If the saw does not start when pulling the paddle, the '''two status lights''' on the control box may indicate why:

After turning the main power switch on, the status lights will blink as the saw boots up. A solid green light with no red light indicates that the saw is ready to start. '''The saw will refuse to start while it’s still booting''', and the status lights will flash (labelled “Push Start/Stop Paddle To OFF” on the below cheat-sheet).

[[File:Sawstop system status lights.png|thumb]]
''This cheat-sheet is from page 30 in the above-linked manual. It’s also printed on the left side of the control box near the start paddle.''

The saw may also refuse to start if it detects contact with the blade when the paddle is pulled on (labelled “Contact Detected During Standby” in the cheat-sheet). Make sure nothing (including your workpiece) is contacting the blade when starting the saw.

If no status lights appear after turning the main power switch on, make sure the red-and-yellow disconnect rotary switch (left side of the cabinet) is in the on position.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:T962 Reflow Soldering Oven}}

To assemble PCBs with surface-mount parts, use the reflow oven.

# Switch then oven on using the switch on the top-left rear corner of the oven.
# Apply solder paste and place your parts, then pull the handle to open the oven drawer and insert your PCB.
# Press F3 to select a pre-programmed temperature curve. Use F1 and F2 to page through the available options; for most applications, “wave 4” is a good choice.
# Press F4 to confirm your choice. You may need to press it twice. You’ll know your selection is saved when it returns you to the main menu, now in Chinese. Press F4 once more to return to the English menu.
# Press F1 to start baking; the oven will heat according to the temperature curve you chose.
# When baking is finished, the oven will beep loudly; press the S button to stop it.
If you find that any joints are bridged or otherwise need reworked, use the hot air stations.

Delta 31-484 Spindle Sander

2023-02-04T20:26:49Z

JohnWickham: Added photo and instructions for use

{{ToolUnavailable}}

The Delta 31-484 is a 1hp oscillating spindle sander with a 24" square cast-iron table. The spindle may be tilted up to 45º for sanding complex curves.

{{Required|Woodshop Safety}}
{{ToolPhoto|delta-31-484.jpg}}The spindle tilt wheel has stops at 90° and 45°; rotate clockwise to increase the angle, counterclockwise to decrease. The angle indicator may not reflect the spindle angle accurately as you adjust; as always, measure the spindle angle as you adjust. If the 90° or 45° stop positions are out of alignment, use any [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfC0dq_0hp9Y5jmqknjsMoUZZQ3XVWI1MGriRb8s7MFAj1VYQ/viewform maintenance QR code] in the shop to request that they be adjusted.

To change the spindle:

# Remove the black table insert by lifting it out.
# At the rear of the machine, lift the two black handles to remove the access panel.
# Use the two wrenches hanging on the left side of the machine to loosen the spindle. One wrench holds the spindle seat in place, the other loosens the spindle.
# Unscrew the spindle by hand and store it upright in the spindle trays on either side of the machine.
# Screw in the new spindle and tighten using the wrenches. Hang the wrenches back on the left side when you’re finished with them.
# Choose a suitable table insert (hanging on the left side of the machine) for the spindle’s size and place it in the table, aligning the notch on the right side of the insert. Make sure to choose a table insert that will accommodate the angle you plan to tilt the spindle to.
