==Description==

The bandsaw is generally defined as a saw blade in the form of an endless steel band that rotates around two or more wheels. This blade is a continuous metal band with teeth on one side. As the wheels rotate, so does the band, which creates the continuous sawing action. Because the direction of the blade is always downward toward the table, there is little danger (except for special cuts) that the wood will be thrown back at the operator, which is called a kickback. For safety reasons many woodworkers prefer the bandsaw especially when cutting small pieces. The unique feature of the bandsaw is that the workpiece can be rotated around the blade creating a curve. It is the tool most often used when curves have to be cut in wood. Because the bandsaw blade is fairly thin, it can cut thick stock with a minimum of horsepower. For this reason the bandsaw is often used when valuable pieces of wood are made into a thin piece of veneer.

Although the bandsaw is usually associated with cutting curves, a variety of straight cuts are easily made with the saw. In fact, it is often used to rip wood because it is much safer than a radial arm saw and also has a smaller saw cut, so it wastes less wood. This becomes very important when using expensive wood where waste must be kept to a minimum. The cut is safer because the force of the cut is straight down on the table; the work cannot be pulled back or kicked back, which sometimes happens with table or radial arm saws. The bandsaw can also cut very thick stock, which the radial arm, or table saw cannot do. The disadvantage of cutting with the bandsaw is that the surface finish of the cut is not as good as with the table or radial arm saw.

====Demonstration====

To show a complete knowledge of the Wood Vertical Bandsaw, the student will cut out a curved shape using scrap wood.

====General Procedure====
# Make sure the blade guides and fence are in place. These are meant to help your cut, so it is crucial that these are in place.
## Instructions on adjusting can be found in the manual, but they should be fine by default. The ace should take care of such issues.
### Blade guides (p. 33-34)
### Fence (p. 35-37)
# Adjust the upper blade guard so that it is just clearing the material being cut
# Make sure that the cutting teeth are facing down since the blade moves downward. Otherwise, it will not cut.
# Make sure that the blade has been properly tensioned (blade doesn’t have slack) and tracked (blade moves evenly and consistently as the wheels turn, doesn’t wander back and forth)
## Instructions on tensioning (p. 30) and tracking (p. 29) can be found in the manual
# Make sure the proper size and type of blade is in use
##[[File:...woodVerticalBandsawKerf.png|none|thumb]]
## Blade help is in the manual (p. 38-42)
# Turn the saw on. ‘1’ turns on, ‘0’ turns off. [[File:...woodVerticalBandsawOnOff.png|none|thumb]]
# Hold the workpiece firmly against the table, flat side down.
# Push material into blade at a moderate pace, using a push stick if necessary at the end of the cut.
# Turn the machine off once the cut is complete.
# Remove the workpiece and reset the space.

==Safety==
# Don’t feed anything into the blade you don’t want cut. First off, it makes no sense and it could pull other stuff into the midst, like your own body. That isn't a good scenario, so let's prevent that.
# Plan out your cut before making it. Wasting material isn't a good idea, and it's more time consuming when you mess up.
# Be careful not to catch anything in the blade cutting curves.
# Use a push stick if necessary. Do not risk getting your hands too close to the blade .
# Hold work piece firmly on the table. It would be a shame if it flew somewhere and hit someone, then we'd have an interesting lawsuit to deal with...

==Troubleshooting==
# Suppose the bandsaw will not start.
## Check that the start switch is fully pulled out.
## Check that the yellow safety plug is fully engaged.
## Check that the electrical power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
## Check that the electrical supply is on (reset the breaker).
## Check that you have the correct power, 110V not 220V
# Suppose the machine will not stop.
## This is a very rare occurrence, as the machine is designed to be fail-safe. If it should occur and you cannot fix the fault, seek professional assistance. The machine must be disconnected from the power and never run until the fault has been rectified.
## Stop switch faulty. Replace the stop switch.
## Internal breaker faulty. Replace the breaker.
# Suppose the motor tries to start but will not turn.
## With the power disconnected from the machine, open the doors and try to turn the wheel by hand. If the wheel is not turning, check the reason for the jamming. Typical reasons are: guides too tight, wood jammed in the wheel. Adjust guides or remove jammed wood.
## Capacitor faulty. Replace the capacitor.
## Motor faulty. Replace the motor.
# Suppose the motor overheats.
## The motor is designed to run very hot, but should it overheat it has an internal terminal overload protector that will shut it down until the motor has cooled down and then it will reset automatically. If the motor overheats, wait until it has cooled down and restart. If the motor shuts down constantly, check for the reason. Typical reasons are dull blade, overfeeding the wood, motor cooling fan clogged or faulty, motor cooling fins clogged and excessive ambient temperature.
# Suppose there's a squeaking noise.
## Check that the motor cooling fan is not contacting the fan cover.
## Check the bearings.
## Check the drive belt.
## Check that the guides are adjusted correctly.
# Suppose the upper guide shaft is tight or loose.
## Clean and lubricate.
## Adjust rack and pinion.
## Bent rack. Replace the rack.
# Suppose the blade slows down during a cut.
## Loose drive belt. Re-tension the belt.
## Dull blade. Replace the blade or have it re-sharpened.
## Feeding the wood too fast. Slow down the feed rate.
## Insufficient set on the teeth (wood nipping the blade). Change blade for a blade with the correct set.
## Oil or dirt on the drive belt. Clean or replace the drive belts.
## Fence not aligned correctly. Align fence.
# Suppose the blade will not track on flywheels.
## Bad blade. Change the blade.
## Crown on the wheels worn or damaged tire. Dress the tires.
# Suppose the blade kicks.
## Bad blade. Replace the blade.
# Suppose the blade makes a clicking noise.
## Bad weld. Dress the weld or change the blade.
# Suppose the blade overheats.
## Dull blade. Change the blade or resharpen the blade.
## Pitch is too small for the depth of cut. Change to a blade with the correct pitch.
## Guides too tight. Adjust the guides.
## Wood too hard for the selected blade. Change the blade.
## Blade too thick for the diameter of the wheels. Change the blade.
# Machine vibrates.
## Machine not level on the floor. Re-level the machine ensuring that it has no movement.
## Damaged drive belt. Replace the belt.

__TOC__
==Description==

'''Soldering''' is a process in which two or more items (usually metal) are joined together by melting and putting a filler metal (solder) into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Soldering differs from welding in that soldering does not involve melting the work pieces. In brazing, the filler metal melts at a higher temperature, but the work piece metal does not melt. In the past, nearly all solders contained lead, but environmental and health concerns have increasingly dictated use of lead-free solder for electronics and plumbing purposes.

Here is an example of this piece of equipment being used.

====Overview====

The Soldering Iron is an amazing tool that allows us to construct circuits with sturdy connections between components. The detailed steps to do this can be found in videos on the Description section.

====Demonstration====

Before using a Soldering Station, students will need to read some documentation, watch some videos, and pass a quiz on Foxtale. Upon completion, students will be given the following PCB and components to assemble the circuit below. Upon completion, they will have the PCB Lab volunteers assess their work and confirm operation. The deliverable will include a video of the working device and a crisp "Thumbs Up" from the PCB Lab Volunteer to assure that the student successfully completed the task.

====General Procedure====
# First things first, you need to learn how to use the soldering irons! Soldering is not difficult, but understanding some basic concepts will go a long way toward a successful experience. As part of your training, you will need to read some documentation and watch some videos.
# After scouring the web for examples of soldering training, we really liked the lessons captured in the [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 PACE] series, despite the fact that they were filmed in the 80's. These videos are well produced (for something possibly older than your parents) and have a lot of good information. The quizzable information is in the very first, fifth, and sixth videos, but the other videos have great examples of good and bad soldering joints. Another more modern video from [https://www.beautyandthebolt Beauty and the Bolt] is also insightful. TThis video is a little more modern, and a good resource, but not as technically interesting. It talks a bit about desoldering as well as soldering wires together and how to use heat shrink and electrical tape. A more modern series is available from [https://www.howcast.com/guides/930-how-to-solder Howcast]. It wouldn't hurt at all to watch this series, but we will just focus on a couple for the quiz. Finally, there is an official training video from the [[Maker Hub]] that is tailored to our specific space and equipment. This video will give you the information you need to perform the live solder demonstration required for your soldering certification.
# This nostalgic set of [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 videos] from PACE are quite old, but surprisingly still quite relevant. The style makes you think that you will be getting ready to watch an old Disney cartoon - you aren't. Don't get disappointed.
# '''Basic Soldering Lesson 1:''' This is by far the longest of the videos at (20:44), but also packed with the most pertinent information. It provides great background on solder, flux, wetting, and then mechanics of the iron and the joint. We do not have the student handbook that is mentioned. We suspect that you can manage without that. Here are some key ideas that you should watch for:
## What is solder? What temperatures do the different solders melt at?
## What is flux?
## What is wetting?
## What are the different aspects of a soldering iron?{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIT4ra6Mo0s}}
# '''Basic Soldering Lesson 2-5:''' These videos are worth watching, but they are not essential for this training.
## [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrhg5A1a1mU&index=2&list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837&t=0s Basic Soldering Lesson 2] - "Soldering To PCB Terminals" (6:50)

# '''Basic Soldering Lesson 6:''' Good explanation of a "semi-clenched" method for soldering an axial-lead component. This technique allows the component to be held in place for soldering without any extra tape or glue (or a potentially burnt finger).{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY5M-lGxvzo}}
# '''Basic Soldering Lesson 7:''' Applying the "clenching" idea to an IC. Typically, we will not use this technique, but will instead hold the part and "tack" these same leads with solder - just to hold it. The rest of the video has great examples of IC's being soldered.{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgcPxdnjwt4}}
# '''Basic Soldering Lesson 8-9:''' We don't normally see too many of these any more, but again, nice examples of good joints that are similar to components we still use. Rather than flatpack or planar components, we generally use "surface-mount" now. But, the soldering part is still useful to watch. The techniques are similar. Our PCB's will generally come "pre-tined" and the component leads are already bent, but the rest of the soldering is the same.

# '''Howcast How to Solder:''' This set of [https://www.howcast.com/guides/930-how-to-solder videos] from Howcast is worth watching, but we will only highlight a couple of them here that talk about removing solder.

# '''Maker Hub Video:''' This video contains specific information for soldering in the Maker Hub as well as a basic overview of what will be expected in your live demonstration.{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v98_f7JFdo}}
#
# Acquire a soldering station. For this procedure, this particular station will be referenced, the Weller WES51.[[File:...solderingiron.png|none|thumb|300x300px]]
# You can power it on using the switch on the left and control the temperature in °F using the temperature knob on the right. 650-750 °F is a good temperature range to keep it at. When the light is solid green, the iron is not heated up yet. When it is heated to the temperature you set on the temperature knob, it will start blinking green.
# Before you begin using the soldering iron, wet the sponge! Take it to a sink and drench that boi. This is used to clean the soldering iron continually during use. If you don't make it wet, it will burn up the sponge and smell/look gross, and it won't clean the soldering iron.
# Now you're ready to use the soldering iron! Refer to the videos in times of doubt.
# Don't forget to complete that video checking off your board!

==Safety==
# Soldering Irons can get up to 1000 °F. This is really hot, so do not touch it. Any metal thing on the iron is hot. Be sure to hold the iron like a pencil, and ONLY hold it by the handle.
# If you get burnt, immediately place the burn under cold running cold water for a while. This keeps it from blistering.
# When not in use, turn off the soldering iron. There's no need to have it blistering hot when it is not being used.

==Troubleshooting==
There are two things in particular that could keep you from successfully soldering: an untinned tip and a loose tip. If the tip is not shiny silver, then place a little solder on the tip and wipe it on the sponge. Some soldering irons allow there tips to be replaced for the sake of having different shapes. If the iron is not heating up and you are using this type of iron, it is possible that the tip is not inserted into the iron fully. To fix this, grab some pliers, grip the shaft and push it in fully.

'''Soldering''' is a process in which two or more items (usually metal) are joined together by melting and putting a filler metal (solder) into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Soldering differs from welding in that soldering does not involve melting the work pieces. In brazing, the filler metal melts at a higher temperature, but the work piece metal does not melt. In the past, nearly all solders contained lead, but environmental and health concerns have increasingly dictated use of lead-free solder for electronics and plumbing purposes.

The Weller irons use a resistive tip to generate heat. By varying the power through the tip, the temperature can be controlled. The Metcal uses an inductive tip that is tuned to be at one temperature.
Important Note: One should never use the abrasive tip tinner on the Metcal tips. This can damage them.

== Solders ==
There are different types of solder available in the [[Maker Hub]]. The standard hand solder that is used is a 60/40 blend. When using solder paste, we typically use a 63/37 variety.

== Training ==

Soldering is not difficult, but understanding some basic concepts will go a long way toward a successful experience. As part of your training, you will need to read some documentation and watch some videos.


=== Videos ===
After scouring the web for examples of soldering training, we really liked the lessons captured in the [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 PACE] series, despite the fact that they were filmed in the 80's. These videos are well produced (for something possibly older than your parents) and have a lot of good information. The quizzable information is in the very first, fifth, and sixth videos, but the other videos have great examples of good and bad soldering joints.
<!==
Another more modern video from [https://www.beautyandthebolt Beauty and the Bolt] is also insightful. TThis video is a little more modern, and a good resource, but not as technically interesting. It talks a bit about desoldering as well as soldering wires together and how to use heat shrink and electrical tape.

A more modern series is available from [https://www.howcast.com/guides/930-how-to-solder Howcast]. It wouldn't hurt at all to watch this series, but we will just focus on a couple for the quiz.

Finally, there is an official training video from the [[Maker Hub]] that is tailored to our specific space and equipment. This video will give you the information you need to perform the live solder demonstration required for your soldering certification.

==== PACE Basic Soldering Series ====

This nostalgic set of [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 videos] from PACE are quite old, but surprisingly still quite relevant. The style makes you think that you will be getting ready to watch an old Disney cartoon - you aren't. Don't get disappointed.

===== Basic Soldering Lesson 1 =====
This is by far the longest of the videos at (20:44), but also packed with the most pertinent information. It provides great background on solder, flux, wetting, and then mechanics of the iron and the joint. We do not have the student handbook that is mentioned. We suspect that you can manage without that.
Here are some key ideas that you should watch for:
* What is solder?
** What temperatures do the different solders melt at?
* What is flux?
* What is wetting?
* What are the different aspects of a soldering iron?

===== Basic Soldering Lesson 7 =====
Applying the "clenching" idea to an IC. Typically, we will not use this technique, but will instead hold the part and "tack" these same leads with solder - just to hold it. The rest of the video has great examples of IC's being soldered.

===== Basic Soldering Lesson 8-9 =====
We don't normally see too many of these any more, but again, nice examples of good joints that are similar to components we still use.
Rather than flatpack or planar components, we generally use "surface-mount" now. But, the soldering part is still useful to watch. The techniques are similar. Our PCB's will generally come "pre-tined" and the component leads are already bent, but the rest of the soldering is the same.

To obtain certification for using the soldering irons in the Maker Hub, you will need to complete the [https://foxtale.georgefox.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=23483 Foxtale course: Maker Hub - Soldering Iron]. This course contains a quiz with questions from the videos. When the quiz has been completed, you can sign up to perform the soldering demonstration.

==== Demonstration ====
For the live demonstration you will receive a small PCB and a few components and will be required to solder the components to the circuit board. The circuit kit contains a 555 timer IC, 3 resistors, a capacitor, and LED, and a 9V battery connector. When completed, the system will slowly blink the LED. The schematic of the circuit is shown below. To find pin 1 of an IC, reference the [https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2010/basics-finding-pin-1 internet].

==Description==

'''Soldering''' is a process in which two or more items (usually metal) are joined together by melting and putting a filler metal (solder) into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Soldering differs from welding in that soldering does not involve melting the work pieces. In brazing, the filler metal melts at a higher temperature, but the work piece metal does not melt. In the past, nearly all solders contained lead, but environmental and health concerns have increasingly dictated use of lead-free solder for electronics and plumbing purposes.

Here is an example of this piece of equipment being used.

===== Basic Soldering Lesson 6 =====
Good explanation of a "semi-clenched" method for soldering an axial-lead component. This technique allows the component to be held in place for soldering without any extra tape or glue (or a potentially burnt finger).
{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY5M-lGxvzo}}

===== Basic Soldering Lesson 7 =====
Applying the "clenching" idea to an IC. Typically, we will not use this technique, but will instead hold the part and "tack" these same leads with solder - just to hold it. The rest of the video has great examples of IC's being soldered.

{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgcPxdnjwt4}}

===== Basic Soldering Lesson 8-9 =====
We don't normally see too many of these any more, but again, nice examples of good joints that are similar to components we still use.
Rather than flatpack or planar components, we generally use "surface-mount" now. But, the soldering part is still useful to watch. The techniques are similar. Our PCB's will generally come "pre-tined" and the component leads are already bent, but the rest of the soldering is the same.

====Overview====

A Vertical Bandsaw is just like any other type of bandsaw in that it is a power tool used to cut various metal and wood pieces. The saw consists of a solid band of metal with edged teeth on it for ease of cutting. Those looking for uniform cutting results will make use of this type of saw. While their main function is to cut curved or unusual shapes, they can also be used for straight cutting. These types of saws, specifically designed for metal cutting, are available in vertical and horizontal varieties.

====Demonstration====

To show a complete knowledge of the Vertical Bandsaw, the student will cut a piece of acrylic stock.

====General Procedure====
# The general procedure and additional knowledge can be found in the video above! The summary for operation is detailed below, but most of the stuff on the quiz will be in the video.
# Unlock the Blade Guide by turning the knob labeled "Lock" on the back of the machine. This allows you to alter the height of the blade.
# Set the Blade Guide Height by turning the knob labeled "Adjustment" on the back of the machine. A good height is about 1/4" above the piece you are cutting.
# Lock the Blade Guide by turning the knob labeled "Lock" on the back of the machine. This will secure the blade and provide a better cut.
# Check the stock height by placing he stock next to the blade to ensure the 1/4" margin is there. Double checking is always a good thing.
# Aim the Blow Off Nozzle. This blows away all the shavings that occur during the cutting process. Aim directly where the blade will come in contact with the stock.
# Make use of the fence. This is the pushing tool that is hanging from the bottom of the machine that guides the stock through the blade. Bring it up against your piece.
# Turn on the machine. The Black button is On, the Red button is Off.
# Now you are ready to begin cutting! Apply a gentle, steady pressure using the fence so that the acrylic piece is getting cut by the blade.
# Once you are finished cutting the piece, turn off the machine, remove the fence and the piece from the machine.
# Reset the Space! Use the shop vacuum to remove all shavings on and around the machine.
