= This Page Is Under Construction =<br />
{{Note|type=error|text=🛑 <b>This page is a work in progress for the Wiki Overhaul project.</b>}}<br />
<br />
==Purpose==<br />
The Mikita LS1219L sliding compound miter saw is used to make crosscuts only in wood and wood composite materials (e.g., plywood, MDF). Typical categories of crosscuts are listed below. <br />
<br />
{{Note|type=error|text=🛑 <b>No metal shall be cut on this saw!</b>}}<br />
<br />
====Terms====<br />
<br />
*'''Cross Cut (Chop Cut):''' A “chop cut” is a crosscut made when the saw is held to the rearmost position and is operated like a conventional (non-sliding) miter saw. Using the chop cut method lowers the cross-cutting capacity; however, many users prefer using this method because it is quicker when making repeat cuts. This method can also produce more accurate cuts because the saw head is locked in the retracted position.<br />
<br />
*'''Slide Cut:''' A “slide cut” is made with the head assembly unlocked and able to move away from the fence. This movement is supported and precisely controlled by the axial glide system. The maximum cross-cutting capacity is utilized by using this method. A slide cut is best used for cross-cutting workpieces wider than can be done with a chop cut – pieces wider than 5-1/2" and up to a maximum width of 15" across. '''NEVER pull the saw toward you during a cut. The blade can suddenly climb up on top of the workpiece and force itself toward you.'''<br />
*'''Miter Cut:''' A “miter cut” is a crosscut made with the blade perpendicular to the horizontal table. The blade is not tilted, and the bevel pointers are both on the 0° lines. Miter cuts can be made at any angle across a workpiece within this saw’s range, up to 60° left and right.<br />
*'''Bevel Cut:''' A “bevel cut” is a crosscut made with the blade perpendicular to the fence and with the table set at 0° miter. The blade can be tilted to any angle within the saw’s 48° range.<br />
*'''Compound Cuts:''' A “compound cut” is a single crosscut made with the saw blade preset at two angles combining a miter angle (relative to the vertical fence) with a bevel angle (relative to the horizontal table). A compound cut can be made as a chop cut or a slide cut. Miter angles will be with the table rotated away from 0° and within the saw’s range. A bevel angle is when the blade is tilted away from 0°. This saw’s range is from right.<br />
*'''Groove Cuts:''' A groove cut should be made as a slide cut. The depth stop adjustment feature is used to limit blade depth of the saw bade when cutting the grooves. NOTE: For best results, Asmbly recommends using the table saw with an optional dado blade set for cutting grooves and non-through cuts.<br />
<br />
==Hazards==<br />
As with all machine tools, there are many hazards associated with their use and exposure to bystanders. Some of the hazards include, but are not limited to the following:<br />
<br />
*'''Amputation:''' The high speed and large diameter rotating saw blade poses significant a risk. Body parts must always be kept out of the path of the saw blade. Absolutely no adjustments shall be made to cutting angles (bevel or miter), fences, or stops until the saw has been turned off and the blade comes to a complete stop.<br />
*'''Puncture or Laceration:''' The sharpness of saw blade teeth pose a risk of injury during setup, handling, or saw blade replacement.<br />
*'''Kickback/Projectiles/Flying Objects:''' The high rate of speed at which the saw blade is rotating can cause kickback to the work piece. When this occurs, the saw may shift violently, cause the work piece to shift and/or break apart and splinter, and cause the offcut, dust and chips to become projectiles.<br />
*'''Other:''' The rotational direction of the saw blade is always pulling the work piece into the cut (this is referred to as a climb cut). This creates two direct hazards:<br />
<br />
#You may be pulled into the saw blade cut.<br />
#The saw blade may suddenly come out of the work piece and move towards you. You must maintain firm control of the saw head by utilizing the handle to prevent either of these from occurring.<br />
<br />
==Limitations==<br />
<br />
* The compound sliding miter saw must only be used for cross cuts.<br />
* The width of the work piece is limited to:<br />
* No metal shall be cut.<br />
<br />
== Materials ==<br />
Work piece material choices include wood, composite wood, and wood products.<br />
<br />

<br />
==== Required ====<br />
*Close-toed shoes<br />
*Eye protection<br />
<br />
==== Recommended ====<br />
*Hearing protection<br />
*Avoiding gloves (to prevent potential snagging or entanglement of fingers)<br />
==Tool Safety Rules==<br />
<br />
*Observe and follow all Asmbly Woodshop Rules.<br />
* Understand and follow the Makita’s manufacturer operating procedures.<br />
*Verify all saw blade guards are in place and adjusted correctly.<br />
*Never bypass a safety device.<br />
*Ensure that the dust collector is hooked up and functioning correctly before use.<br />
*Never leave the compound sliding miter saw unattended while it is running.<br />
* Clean the tool and surrounding area before (if necessary) and after use.<br />
*Ensure the surrounding area is free of tripping hazards before use.<br />
*Ensure the power is off before making any adjustments, changing the saw blade, or physically inspecting the saw blade.<br />
*Never feed the running saw blade into the work piece at rate faster than is safe for the material type or size.<br />
*Never make freehand cuts by raising the work piece into the saw blade.<br />
*Do attempt to work pieces that are too small to easily hold with your hands. Instead, use a clamping jig or fixture. If the work piece is shorter than 4 inches, consider using a different machine. <br />
*When in doubt, ask for assistance!<br />
<br />
==Proper Setup and Use==<br />
'''Proper Setup and Use'''<br />
<br />
'''Getting To Know the Miter Saw'''<br />
<br />
* '''General Miter Saw Preparations'''<br />
** '''Hand and Body Position'''<br />
*** The work piece MUST be held firmly and securely against the table and fence to prevent the piece from moving while it is being cut.<br />
*** Always use the sliding base extensions, and additional workpiece supports such as clamps or hold down sticks to properly secure the work piece outside the “No Hands Zone”.<br />
*** If it is safe, the work piece can be securely held against the table and fence with your hand only outside “No Hands Zone”.<br />
*** Never place your hands on or near the saw blade while in operation.<br />
*** Keep your feet firmly planted on the floor and maintain a firm balanced stance.<br />
** '''Dry Run:''' It is critical to know where the saw blade will intersect with the work piece while making the cut.<br />
** '''Simulated Cut''': With the power OFF, and the work piece firmly secured against the table and fence, lower the saw head and make note of how and where the saw blade intersects with the work piece.<br />
** A'''djustments:''' Make any necessary adjustments to add clamps if your hand will be close the “No Hands Zone” or move them so they do not interfere with the saw blade guard during the actual cut.<br />
<br />
* '''Cross Cut (Chop Cut)]'''<br />
** '''Preparing the Miter Saw'''<br />
** Using a “Tried & True” (has been tested and proven to be accurate) square, check that the saw blade is at 90° perpendicular to saw table, and at 90°perpendicular to the saw fence.<br />
** If either of these angles are off a perfect 90°, adjust the miter saw as per the manual.<br />
<br />
o '''Preparing for the Cross Cut (Chop Cut)'''<br />
<br />
* Ensure the work area (floor, saw table, surrounding work tables, Etc.) is free of debris and tripping hazards.<br />
* Ensure the saw head is in the UP position and pushed back over the rear fence.<br />
* Ensure that the sliding lever lock is engaged. If necessary, engage the lock and re-test to ensure the saw head does not slide forward.<br />
* Position your work piece and clamp as necessary per the above Hand and Body Position instructions.<br />
* Active the laser light power switch if desired.<br />
* Perform your Dry Run and make all necessary adjustments to your set up for a safe Cross Cut.<br />
<br />
o '''Cross Cut (Chop Cut) Procedure'''<br />
<br />
* Activate the power switch and then gently lower the saw head into the work piece to begin making the cross cut.<br />
* Continue the downward pressure until the saw blade cut all the way through the work piece.<br />
* Hold the saw head down and release the power switch while keeping your hands in this position until the saw blade comes to a full stop.<br />
* Once the saw blade has come to a full stop, raise the saw head upward into its UP position.<br />
* Turn off laser light if it was used.<br />
* Remove your work piece and off cut.<br />
<br />
o '''Clean Up'''<br />
<br />
* Either dispose of your off cut into a trash can, take home it home, or if its large enough for someone else to use, place it on the scrap cart.<br />
* Using a brush, clean all the saw surfaces and surrounding miter saw station tables.<br />
* Sweep the floor gathering up all the saw dust and wood chips and dispose of them into a trash can.<br />
* An alternative is to use a shop vac to clean up the miter saw, miter saw station, and floor.<br />
<br />
¨ '''Slide Cut'''<br />
<br />
¨ '''Miter Cut'''<br />
<br />
¨ '''Bevel Cut'''<br />
<br />
¨ '''Compound Cuts'''<br />
<br />
¨ '''Grooving Cut'''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Before Use ====<br />
<br />
* Clear the fence and surrounding area of any debris. <br />
* Set your angles. <br />
* Turn on the laser sight if desired. <br />
* Secure the work piece firmly against the fence; never attempt to cut anything without the work piece firmly held in place.<br />
** A work piece needs at least 4” of contact with the fence to ensure stability during the cut.<br />
<br />
==== During Use ====<br />
<br />
* (Almost) always hold the work piece with your left hand, while using the right hand to control the saw.<br />
** Keep hands and fingers more than 6” from the blade.<br />
* Let the blade achieve full speed for 1-2 seconds before making contact with the work piece. <br />
* Let the blade do the cutting, '''don't force it!''' <br />
** Larger work pieces and harder woods will require slower cutting. A brand new blade will cut more quickly than a blade that has seen a few hundred cuts. If you’re forcing the blade through the wood, you’re sawing too fast. If you see smoke, you’re sawing too fast, and possibly using a blade that needs to be replaced.<br />
* For cuts that require the saw to slide, always extend the saw out to match the width of the work piece before initiating the cut. As the cut is being made, slowly push the saw down and back towards the fence. <br />
* Let the blade come to a complete stop before removing your work piece. <br />
<br />
==== After Use ====<br />
<br />
* Return the miter saw to neutral position, turn off the laser, and remove any cutoff scraps that might have fallen near the fence or behind the saw. <br />
* Activate the dust collector and use a bench brush to sweep sawdust and small debris into the dust chute. <br />
** Please DO NOT use compressed air to remove sawdust. <br />
* Sweep the miter benches (left and right of the saw) and leave the area clean and inviting for the next member.<br />

*'''Compound Cuts:''' A “compound cut” is a single crosscut made with the saw blade preset at two angles combining a miter angle (relative to the vertical fence) with a bevel angle (relative to the horizontal table). A compound cut can be made as a chop cut or a slide cut. Miter angles will be with the table rotated away from 0° and within the saw’s range. A bevel angle is when the blade is tilted away from 0°. This saw’s range is from right.<br />
*'''Groove Cuts:''' A groove cut should be made as a slide cut. The depth stop adjustment feature is used to limit blade depth of the saw bade when cutting the grooves. NOTE: For best results, Asmbly recommends using the table saw with an optional dado blade set for cutting grooves and non-through cuts.<br />
<br />
==Hazards==<br />
As with all machine tools, there are many hazards associated with their use and exposure to bystanders. Some of the hazards include, but are not limited to the following:<br />
<br />
*'''Amputation:''' The high speed and large diameter rotating saw blade poses significant a risk. Body parts must always be kept out of the path of the saw blade. Absolutely no adjustments shall be made to cutting angles (bevel or miter), fences, or stops until the saw has been turned off and the blade comes to a complete stop.<br />
*'''Puncture or Laceration:''' The sharpness of saw blade teeth pose a risk of injury during setup, handling, or saw blade replacement.<br />
*'''Kickback/Projectiles/Flying Objects:''' The high rate of speed at which the saw blade is rotating can cause kickback to the work piece. When this occurs, the saw may shift violently, cause the work piece to shift and/or break apart and splinter, and cause the offcut, dust and chips to become projectiles.<br />
*'''Other:''' The rotational direction of the saw blade is always pulling the work piece into the cut (this is referred to as a climb cut). This creates two direct hazards:<br />
<br />
#You may be pulled into the saw blade cut.<br />
#The saw blade may suddenly come out of the work piece and move towards you. You must maintain firm control of the saw head by utilizing the handle to prevent either of these from occurring.<br />
<br />

*Never leave the compound sliding miter saw unattended while it is running.<br />
* Clean the tool and surrounding area before (if necessary) and after use.<br />
*Ensure the surrounding area is free of tripping hazards before use.<br />
*Ensure the power is off before making any adjustments, changing the saw blade, or physically inspecting the saw blade.<br />
*Never feed the running saw blade into the work piece at rate faster than is safe for the material type or size.<br />
*Never make freehand cuts by raising the work piece into the saw blade.<br />
*Do attempt to work pieces that are too small to easily hold with your hands. Instead, use a clamping jig or fixture. If the work piece is shorter than 4 inches, consider using a different machine. <br />
*When in doubt, ask for assistance!<br />
<br />
==Proper Setup and Use==<br />
'''Proper Setup and Use'''<br />
<br />
'''Getting To Know the Miter Saw'''<br />
<br />
* '''General Miter Saw Preparations'''<br />
** '''Hand and Body Position'''<br />
*** The work piece MUST be held firmly and securely against the table and fence to prevent the piece from moving while it is being cut.<br />
*** Always use the sliding base extensions, and additional workpiece supports such as clamps or hold down sticks to properly secure the work piece outside the “No Hands Zone”.<br />
*** If it is safe, the work piece can be securely held against the table and fence with your hand only outside “No Hands Zone”.<br />
*** Never place your hands on or near the saw blade while in operation.<br />
*** Keep your feet firmly planted on the floor and maintain a firm balanced stance.<br />
** '''Dry Run:''' It is critical to know where the saw blade will intersect with the work piece while making the cut.<br />
** '''Simulated Cut''': With the power OFF, and the work piece firmly secured against the table and fence, lower the saw head and make note of how and where the saw blade intersects with the work piece.<br />
** A'''djustments:''' Make any necessary adjustments to add clamps if your hand will be close the “No Hands Zone” or move them so they do not interfere with the saw blade guard during the actual cut.<br />
<br />
* '''Cross Cut (Chop Cut)]'''<br />
** '''Preparing the Miter Saw'''<br />
** Using a “Tried & True” (has been tested and proven to be accurate) square, check that the saw blade is at 90° perpendicular to saw table, and at 90°perpendicular to the saw fence.<br />
** If either of these angles are off a perfect 90°, adjust the miter saw as per the manual.<br />
<br />
o '''Preparing for the Cross Cut (Chop Cut)'''<br />
<br />
* Ensure the work area (floor, saw table, surrounding work tables, Etc.) is free of debris and tripping hazards.<br />
* Ensure the saw head is in the UP position and pushed back over the rear fence.<br />
* Ensure that the sliding lever lock is engaged. If necessary, engage the lock and re-test to ensure the saw head does not slide forward.<br />
* Position your work piece and clamp as necessary per the above Hand and Body Position instructions.<br />
* Active the laser light power switch if desired.<br />
* Perform your Dry Run and make all necessary adjustments to your set up for a safe Cross Cut.<br />
<br />
o '''Cross Cut (Chop Cut) Procedure'''<br />
<br />
* Activate the power switch and then gently lower the saw head into the work piece to begin making the cross cut.<br />
* Continue the downward pressure until the saw blade cut all the way through the work piece.<br />
* Hold the saw head down and release the power switch while keeping your hands in this position until the saw blade comes to a full stop.<br />
* Once the saw blade has come to a full stop, raise the saw head upward into its UP position.<br />
* Turn off laser light if it was used.<br />
* Remove your work piece and off cut.<br />
<br />
o '''Clean Up'''<br />
<br />
* Either dispose of your off cut into a trash can, take home it home, or if its large enough for someone else to use, place it on the scrap cart.<br />
* Using a brush, clean all the saw surfaces and surrounding miter saw station tables.<br />
* Sweep the floor gathering up all the saw dust and wood chips and dispose of them into a trash can.<br />
* An alternative is to use a shop vac to clean up the miter saw, miter saw station, and floor.<br />
<br />
¨ '''Slide Cut'''<br />
<br />
¨ '''Miter Cut'''<br />
<br />
¨ '''Bevel Cut'''<br />
<br />
¨ '''Compound Cuts'''<br />
<br />
¨ '''Grooving Cut'''<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Before Use ====<br />
<br />
* Clear the fence and surrounding area of any debris. <br />
* Set your angles. <br />
* Turn on the laser sight if desired. <br />
* Secure the work piece firmly against the fence; never attempt to cut anything without the work piece firmly held in place.<br />
** A work piece needs at least 4” of contact with the fence to ensure stability during the cut.<br />
<br />
==== During Use ====<br />
<br />
* (Almost) always hold the work piece with your left hand, while using the right hand to control the saw.<br />
** Keep hands and fingers more than 6” from the blade.<br />
* Let the blade achieve full speed for 1-2 seconds before making contact with the work piece. <br />
* Let the blade do the cutting, '''don't force it!''' <br />
** Larger work pieces and harder woods will require slower cutting. A brand new blade will cut more quickly than a blade that has seen a few hundred cuts. If you’re forcing the blade through the wood, you’re sawing too fast. If you see smoke, you’re sawing too fast, and possibly using a blade that needs to be replaced.<br />
* For cuts that require the saw to slide, always extend the saw out to match the width of the work piece before initiating the cut. As the cut is being made, slowly push the saw down and back towards the fence. <br />
* Let the blade come to a complete stop before removing your work piece. <br />
<br />
==== After Use ====<br />
<br />
* Return the miter saw to neutral position, turn off the laser, and remove any cutoff scraps that might have fallen near the fence or behind the saw. <br />
* Activate the dust collector and use a bench brush to sweep sawdust and small debris into the dust chute. <br />
** Please DO NOT use compressed air to remove sawdust. <br />
* Sweep the miter benches (left and right of the saw) and leave the area clean and inviting for the next member.<br />
<br />

[[Category:ForSale]]</div>Rolohttps://wiki.asmbly.org/index.php?title=Laguna_TFlux_5_Dust_Collector&diff=4119Laguna TFlux 5 Dust Collector2026-01-16T18:27:27Z<p>Rolo: </p>
<hr />
<div>Woodshop dust control is handled by a Laguna T|Flux:5 cyclone dust collector. Blast gates on all tools are automatic but we're still working on automatic stop/start; for now, users must manually turn on the dust collector before using a woodworking tool.<br />
<br />
Note that the filter self-cleaning feature makes somewhat alarming noises. Flapping/crackling when the motor starts up and shuts down, and periodically during operation, is normal as the actuator bangs the pleats of the cartridge filter.<br />
<br />
When emptying the dust bin, also check and empty the pan below the filter cartridge if sawdust is visible in the viewing window.<br />

== iVac Automatic Dust Collector Control ==<br />
==== Usage Notes ====<br />
* The dust collector will automatically turn on and off. It is still the users responsibility to make sure the dust collector is on before using a woodshop tool.<br />
* When turning on a tool when the dust collector is off, please give it a 10 seconds or so for the dust collector to spin up before using the tool.<br />
* When changing the dust bin:<br />
** Please make sure other users are aware and do not use any tools<br />
** Turn the switch on the yellow box on the dust collector to "off" instead of "auto".<br />
** Return the mode to "auto" after the bin has been emptied.<br />
* The control is programmed to remain on for 8 minutes after all tools are shut off. The prevents a lot of starts and stops.<br />

==== Implementation ====<br />
The [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/2/2a/IVAC_MSC_Advantage_Dust_Collector_Control.pdf iVac MSC Advantage Dust Collector Control] has a remote which is programmed to control the dust collector.<br />
The MSC advantage is programmed to use iVac system address A. When any tool on that system address is turned on or off, the control monitors that and turns the dust collector on or off appropriately. <br />
<br />
Since ASMBLY has two different [[#iVac System Addresses|iVac System Addresses]], an iVac Pro Control is used to monitor system address C, and trigger a tool sensor on system address A. The [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/8/8d/IVAC_Tool_Advantange_Sensor_Manual.pdf iVac Tool Advantage Sensor] has a trigger input which allows this. Refer to [https://wiki.asmbly.org/images/d/d0/IVac_System_setup_of_Single_DC_and_multiple_system_addresses.pdf IVac_System_setup_of_Single_DC_and_multiple_system_addresses.pdf] for an example.<br />
This allows the iVac MSC Advantage to monitor both system address A and B.<br />
<br />
The daisy chain setup is plugged in high above the router table.<br />
<br />
== Troubleshotting Steps for Blast Gates ==<br />
<br />
* Verify tool sensor and blast gate are set to "AUTO"<br />
* Verify tool sensor has red light when tool is powered on<br />
** If not, verify tool sensor is plugged in<br />
*** Check outlet is working<br />
*** Check USB port is working<br />
*** Swap USB power supplies<br />
** If power is good, try adjusting sensitivity setting, verify dip switch settings are correct<br />
* Check if blast gate is opening:<br />
** If the green area is showing, the gate is open<br />
** Disconnect hose, and verify suction is good<br />
*** Check for blockages in the hose<br />
* If tool sensor is working, and blast gate is not opening:<br />
** Try changing the blast gate to ON/CLOSED and verify if the gate is opening/closing<br />
*** Is the gate making any noise? If so, it may be a mechanical issue with the gate itself<br />
** If not making any noise, check if outlet has power<br />
** If outlet is working, verify gate power supply is working<br />
*** check for voltage<br />
*** swap power supply with spare from the stewards closet<br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting Automatic Control ===<br />
* If a tool is not triggering the dust collector, verify the tool sensor is working correctly. <br />
** verify iVac MSC on dust collector is set to "auto"<br />
** verify tool sensor is set to "auto" <br />
** verify tool sensor LED is lit when the tool is turned on<br />
** If the tool is on system address C, verify iVac switch above router table is activated when the tool is turned on<br />
*** There should be a blue led you can see when it is activated<br />
*** This iVac switch should be set to auto<br />
*** The tool sensor it is connected to should be set to "off-ext"<br />
*** Try unplugging both the tool sensor and switch, and plug back in.<br />
** Try turning all tools off, turn automatic control to off, then back to auto.<br />
<br />
* If the dust collector is not turning off<br />
** verify iVac MSC on dust collector is set to "auto"<br />
** Check iVac MSC LED, if light steadily, it thinks a tool is on<br />
** Verify nothing sneaky a turned on, examples:<br />
*** South Bend sander master power enabled, but belt not running<br />
*** Drum Sander belt running<br />
*** A tool sensor set to "on" instead of "auto"<br />
** Check iVac MSC LED, if blinking at 4x per second, DC should shut off within 8 minutes<br />
** Try turning all tools off, turn automatic control to off, then back to auto.<br />

<div>This page is a summary of all the off-site/third-party/cloud services utilized by Asmbly and how we use them.<br />
<br />
= Current Systems =<br />
== 1Password == <br />
1Password is a password manager which Asmbly uses to store all passwords for Asmbly accounts and securely share them with relevant parties. Asmbly has a Teams account with a limited number of seats.<br />
<br />
== Alta Open (formerly Openpath) ==<br />
Alta Open is our access control system. It has its own user database, but that database is automatically synced with Neon account information. Some leaders have permission to access the Alta Open dashboard to modify user permissions, view access logs, and suchlike.<br />
<br />
Alta Open is a cloud service and has an [https://openpath.readme.io/reference API]<br />
<br />
== Basecamp == <br />
Basecamp is a simple, web-based project management platform. We use it for coordinating and planning tasks for special events and general top-down project task tracking.<br />
== Canva == <br />
Canva is a web-based content creation app that allows for creating a wide range of types of content and directly ordering prints. We use Canva for branded content creation including flyers, social media posts, animations, slide decks, signage, and more. As a non-profit organization we have a Pro account free of charge. Our Canva is loaded with all of our branded content including brand colors, fonts, logo variations, photos, graphic elements, templates, and more. Canva also has a large library of content that can be used in creations.<br />
== CleverWaiver == <br />
Starting in October 2025. This is being used for waiver and 1-party agreements. Links are easy to create and we have a limit of 1000 waivers signed per month. <br />
== ClickUp == <br />
Started use in the summer of 2025 as a facilities management tool. It was setup to help with purchase requests, problem reports, general facilities requests, paid storage and rental tracker, and ceramics firings.<br />
<br />
Billing is by the seat. Limited number of guest accounts are allowed (users without an asmbly.org address).<br />
== Discourse ==<br />
Discourse is the software that powers the Asmbly discussion site https://yo.asmbly.org/<br />
<br />
Discourse maintains its own credential database that requires manual management of user permissions. We have some periodic maintenance scripts that update Discourse users automatically in response to member status changes. As of now we don't plan to change Discourse to authenticate directly against Neon, because we can have Discourse users who are not and have never been Asmbly members and we don't want to put a bunch of non-members in Neon.<br />
<br />
Asmbly's Discourse instance is managed by [https://www.communiteq.com Communiteq] and has an [https://docs.discourse.org API]<br />
<br />
== Google Workspace ==<br />
Space leadership uses Google Workspace for mail, document sharing, the usual office stuff. As a non-profit organization we can use it free of charge. Many volunteers also use Asmbly's Google Workspace and we have a Shared Drive that is open for all in the Asmbly domain.<br />
== Neon == <br />
Neon is our member management system. We intend for it to be the sole interface for administrative tasks and the source of truth for member authentication and authorization. We've been pretty successful at the latter, less so with the former -- staff and volunteer leads still juggle multiple dashboards to some extent.<br />
<br />
Neon account creation starts with the [https://asmbly.org/join/ Join Form] on the website.<br />
Existing users may log into Neon at https://asmbly.z2systems.com/login.jsp<br />
<br />
Neon is a cloud service and has an [https://developer.neoncrm.com/api-v2/ API]<br />
== Mailjet ==<br />
Mailjet is used for our email announcements and monthly(ish) update / newsletter mailings. We are also transitioning class registrations to this system. <br />
<br />
Users may unsubscribe from the list using personalized links in the footer of each Mailjet email.<br />
<br />
All Neon accounts are automatically added to this email list at the time of account creation. <br />
<br />
Mailjet is a cloud service and has an [https://dev.mailjet.com/email/reference/overview/ API]<br />
== Mediawiki ==<br />
This Asmbly wiki runs on Mediawiki. The ATXHS wiki did as well, but it became a maintenance sink so we're no longer keeping that online. <br />
<br />
This wiki authenticates users via Discourse -- if you have an Asmbly Discourse account, you also have a wiki account. Current and former members have edit permission.<br />
<br />
This wiki is self-hosted off site on AWS.<br />
<br />
== PayPal ==<br />
We use PayPal for generating miscellaneous invoices, including Co-Working and storage rentals. This is mainly a workaround for the fact that Neon doesn't support multiple concurrent subscriptions for a user (ie a member can't have both a membership subscription and a storage rental subscription that both automatically renew month-to-month).<br />
<br />
== QuickBooks ==<br />
We use QuickBooks for our banking and accounts payable. Instructors are paid via QuickBooks, and QuickBooks Workforce is used for managing employee hours/pay/benefits.<br />
<br />
== Skedda ==<br />
Skedda is the group calendaring tool we're using to schedule access to the space.<br />
<br />
Skedda has its own credential database that requires manual management of user permissions. It also unfortunately lacks any kind of published API. We have a medium-term goal of implementing some mechanism to update Skedda automatically based on member status changes in Neon, but no work is being done on that project at this time.<br />
<br />
For permission to book Asmbly spaces on Skedda, you must first sign up using the private invitation link you can find in your subscription acknowledgement email or the members-only message area of Discourse. https://yo.asmbly.org/t/skedda-invite-link/203. You might be signed into Discourse and you must be a member of the "makers" (paying members) group to view the link.<br />
<br />
Once you have created your Skedda account, you can log into Skedda directly at https://asmbly.skedda.com.<br />
<br />
== SignNow ==<br />
As of Oct 16, 2025, SignNow is only used for 2 party agreements. It raised its prices in Summer of 2025 and only allows 100 signatures per year. We are looking at moving to BoldSign. No Waivers are to be added to this platform. Use CleverWaiver for that.<br />
<br />
== SignUpGenius == <br />
SignUpGenius is used for organizing volunteers for special events. It allows us to create a page for the volunteer event and list options for tasks volunteers can easily sign up for without having to create an account.<br />
== Square ==<br />
We use Square for easier donations and purchase of supplies onsite at Asmbly.<br />
<br />
== Slack ==<br />
Space leadership, staff, and core volunteers use Slack for day-to-day operational communications.<br />
<br />
== Wordpress ==<br />
The [http://www.asmbly.org public-facing website] runs on Wordpress. <br />
<br />
Wordpress is hosted off site and has an [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/ API]<br />
<br />
== Zapier ==<br />
Zapier is a sorta no-code cloud workflow automation service. It supports limited webhook-style automations, but fortunately one of the actions is "execute arbitrary Python code" so we can do whatever we want in response to a SignNow document or Google Forms submission.<br />
<br />
== TechSoup == <br />
TechSoup is a nonprofit organization that provides other nonprofits with access to software and technology at discounted prices. We use this resource for discounts on AWS and other subscription services we use. Each time we consider adding new services, we check TechSoup to ensure we're getting the best option for the best price.<br />
=Deprecated Services=<br />
These are services we used to use, but don’t anymore for various reasons. <br />
<br />
== MaintainX == <br />
CMMS platform to assist in tracking problem reports, work orders, purchases, parts inventories, and vendors. At the time (Early 2025) it costs $50 per month per user. It was great for it's intended purpose but not great for enabling access to multiple volunteers without needing an account. Work orders could be made public but the link would expire in less than 2 weeks and need to be manually recreated.<br />
<br />
== Hootsuite == <br />
Hootsuite is a social media management platform that we used to schedule posts across multiple social media platforms.<br />
<br />
== Mailchimp ==<br />
Mailchimp was used for our email announcements and monthly(ish) update / newsletter mailings. It was replaced with Flodesk. <br />
<br />
Users may sign up for the list here<br />
Users may unsubscribe from the list using personalized links in the footer of each Mailchimp email.<br />
<br />
( Administrative question: Are users automatically added to the mail chimp list at some point in the signup process? Answer: No, not currently. We periodically export all Neon users as CSV to update our mailing list.) <br />
<br />
Mailchimp is a cloud service and has an [https://mailchimp.com/developer/ API]<br />
<br />
== Flodesk ==<br />
Flodesk was used for our email announcements and monthly(ish) update / newsletter mailings. It was replaced with Mailjet. <br />

<br />
Flodesk is a cloud service and has an [https://developers.flodesk.com/ API]<br />
== Smartwaiver ==<br />
We used to use Smartwaiver for tracking liability waivers from members and visitors. All active e-sign documents have been moved to SignNow, but we maintain our SmartWaiver account so we can access the document archive.<br />
<br />
== Clockify == <br />
Clockify is a free time tracking software. We used it for our hourly staff to track time for wages. It’s been replaced with Quickbooks’ integrated solution (Quickbooks Workforce).<br />
<br />
== Freshbooks ==<br />
ATXHS used to use Freshbooks for member invoicing before they switched to Neon. For a while we had some old-school members who never bothered to make Neon accounts, so we kept Freshbooks around as long as they keep renewing their memberships.<br />
<br />
Since a Neon account was required for facility access via OpenPath, the last remaining Freshbooks members were basically inactive supporters. We appreciated them!<br />

Some time back we switched all our e-sign forms from Smartwaiver to SignNow. New-and-improved features include emailing signers copies of their documents and automatically uploading them to Asmbly's files in GDrive.

SignNow *kind of* has an API -- it can trigger [https://zapier.com/apps/signnow/integrations Zapier], which is good enough for us.<br />
<br />
== Wordpress ==<br />
The [http://www.asmbly.org public-facing website] runs on Wordpress. <br />
<br />
Wordpress is hosted off site and has an [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/ API]<br />
<br />
== Zapier ==<br />
Zapier is a sorta no-code cloud workflow automation service. It supports limited webhook-style automations, but fortunately one of the actions is "execute arbitrary Python code" so we can do whatever we want in response to a SignNow document or Google Forms submission.<br />
<br />
== PayPal ==<br />
We use PayPal for generating miscellaneous invoices, including Co-Working and storage rentals. This is mainly a workaround for the fact that Neon doesn't support multiple concurrent subscriptions for a user (ie a member can't have both a membership subscription and a storage rental subscription that both automatically renew month-to-month).<br />
<br />
== Square ==<br />
We use Square for easier donations and purchase of supplies onsite at Asmbly.<br />
<br />
== Google Workspace ==<br />
Space leadership uses Google Workspace for mail, document sharing, the usual office stuff. As a non-profit organization we can use it free of charge. Many volunteers also use Asmbly's Google Workspace and we have a Shared Drive that is open for all in the Asmbly domain.<br />
<br />
== QuickBooks ==<br />
We use QuickBooks for our banking and accounts payable. Instructors are paid via QuickBooks, and QuickBooks Workforce is used for managing employee hours/pay/benefits.<br />
<br />
== Slack ==<br />
Space leadership, staff, and core volunteers use Slack for day-to-day operational communications.<br />
<br />
== Basecamp == <br />
Basecamp is a simple, web-based project management platform. We use it for coordinating and planning tasks for special events and general top-down project task tracking.<br />
<br />
== 1Password == <br />
1Password is a password manager which Asmbly uses to store all passwords for Asmbly accounts and securely share them with relevant parties. Asmbly has a Teams account with a limited number of seats.<br />
<br />
== TechSoup == <br />
TechSoup is a nonprofit organization that provides other nonprofits with access to software and technology at discounted prices. We use this resource for discounts on AWS and other subscription services we use. Each time we consider adding new services, we check TechSoup to ensure we're getting the best option for the best price.<br />
== Canva == <br />
Canva is a web-based content creation app that allows for creating a wide range of types of content and directly ordering prints. We use Canva for branded content creation including flyers, social media posts, animations, slide decks, signage, and more. As a non-profit organization we have a Pro account free of charge. Our Canva is loaded with all of our branded content including brand colors, fonts, logo variations, photos, graphic elements, templates, and more. Canva also has a large library of content that can be used in creations.<br />
<br />
== SignUpGenius == <br />
SignUpGenius is used for organizing volunteers for special events. It allows us to create a page for the volunteer event and list options for tasks volunteers can easily sign up for without having to create an account.<br />
== Mailjet ==<br />
Mailjet is used for our email announcements and monthly(ish) update / newsletter mailings. We are also transitioning class registrations to this system. <br />
<br />
Users may unsubscribe from the list using personalized links in the footer of each Mailjet email.<br />
<br />
All Neon accounts are automatically added to this email list at the time of account creation. <br />
<br />
Mailjet is a cloud service and has an [https://dev.mailjet.com/email/reference/overview/ API]<br />
== ClickUp == <br />
Started use in the summer of 2025 as a facilities management tool. It was setup to help with purchase requests, problem reports, general facilities requests, paid storage and rental tracker, and ceramics firings.<br />
<br />
Billing is by the seat. Limited number of guest accounts are allowed (users without an asmbly.org address).<br />
=Deprecated Services=<br />
These are services we used to use, but don’t anymore for various reasons. <br />
<br />
== MaintainX == <br />
CMMS platform to assist in tracking problem reports, work orders, purchases, parts inventories, and vendors. At the time (Early 2025) it costs $50 per month per user. It was great for it's intended purpose but not great for enabling access to multiple volunteers without needing an account. Work orders could be made public but the link would expire in less than 2 weeks and need to be manually recreated.<br />
<br />
== Hootsuite == <br />
Hootsuite is a social media management platform that we used to schedule posts across multiple social media platforms.<br />
<br />
== Mailchimp ==<br />
Mailchimp was used for our email announcements and monthly(ish) update / newsletter mailings. It was replaced with Flodesk. <br />
<br />
Users may sign up for the list here<br />
Users may unsubscribe from the list using personalized links in the footer of each Mailchimp email.<br />
<br />
( Administrative question: Are users automatically added to the mail chimp list at some point in the signup process? Answer: No, not currently. We periodically export all Neon users as CSV to update our mailing list.) <br />
<br />
Mailchimp is a cloud service and has an [https://mailchimp.com/developer/ API]<br />
<br />
== Flodesk ==<br />
Flodesk was used for our email announcements and monthly(ish) update / newsletter mailings. It was replaced with Mailjet. <br />
<br />
Users may sign up for the list here<br />
Users may unsubscribe from the list using personalized links in the footer of each Flodesk email. <br />
<br />
Flodesk is a cloud service and has an [https://developers.flodesk.com/ API]<br />
== Smartwaiver ==<br />
We used to use Smartwaiver for tracking liability waivers from members and visitors. All active e-sign documents have been moved to SignNow, but we maintain our SmartWaiver account so we can access the document archive.<br />
<br />
== Clockify == <br />
Clockify is a free time tracking software. We used it for our hourly staff to track time for wages. It’s been replaced with Quickbooks’ integrated solution (Quickbooks Workforce).<br />
<br />
== Freshbooks ==<br />
ATXHS used to use Freshbooks for member invoicing before they switched to Neon. For a while we had some old-school members who never bothered to make Neon accounts, so we kept Freshbooks around as long as they keep renewing their memberships.<br />
<br />
Since a Neon account was required for facility access via OpenPath, the last remaining Freshbooks members were basically inactive supporters. We appreciated them!<br />

<br />
The Central Texas Woodturners Association (CTWA) is hosting six Jet midi lathes for use.<br />
<br />
The first number in the name represents the "swing" or largest diameter your workpiece can be, while the second number represents the distance between centers or maximum length your workpiece can be. In other words, the Jet lathes can accommodate material 12" wide by 21" long.<br />
<br />
How to Book:<br />
These are currently NOT bookable on Skedda and are only available for Asmbly classes or CTWA classes.<br />
