Also Kevin uses 115mm discs on this 125mm pad and press down like crazy. It just destroys the sides of the pads and discs won't stick. | Also Kevin uses 115mm discs on this 125mm pad and press down like crazy. It just destroys the sides of the pads and discs won't stick. | ||

Today, Kevin used the jointer/planer - the machine that creates the most wood chips - and quickly filled up the vacuum bag. And Kevin didn't check the level in the bag even though there's a transparent window with a thin red line and the text "MAX". As a result it filled up the space between the bag and the filter (about 25 cm) and it took two members about 1 hour to clean. | Today, Kevin used the jointer/planer - the machine that creates the most wood chips - and quickly filled up the vacuum bag.

Today, Kevin had some lightweight limestone bricks to cut. Instead of using an appropriate cutting disc on an angle grinder, he thought it would be easier to use the table saw. Kevin should have asked first. As a result, Kevin quickly wore the blade and literately covered the table saw gears and the room with a fine abrasive white dust. | Today, Kevin had some lightweight limestone bricks to cut.

I know taking the trash out when you just put a few pieces of wood is not fair but that's how it works. But leaving it like this for the next member is also not fair.[[Fil:Kevin 4.jpg|miniatyr|Don't be like Kevin, empty the trash when it's full! | I know taking the trash out when you just put a few pieces of wood is not fair but that's how it works.

=== What You Can't See, ''Can'' Hurt You === | |||
Today, Kevin wanted to engrave some galvanized steel on the xTool F2 Ultra. He figured it would be fine. He couldn't smell anything, so how bad could it be? | |||
Pretty bad, it turns out. Galvanized steel has a zinc coating that releases zinc oxide fumes when heated. | |||
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fume_fever Zinc oxide fume fever] is a real thing and gives you (and the people around you) flu-like symptoms that hits you hours after exposure, long after you've left the space. Your nose won't warn you in time, or at all. | |||
This is also a good moment to think about the IR laser on the F2 Ultra too. You can't see the beam, it's infrared. That doesn't mean it isn't there, and it doesn't mean it can't blind you or burn you instantly. Invisible is not the same as safe. The rule is simple: if you're not sure a material is safe to laser, check the material list on the wiki before you start. When in doubt, ask. Don't be like Kevin, your senses are not a substitute for knowing what you're working with. | |||
