E3 CNC down after fire – follow updates here…

Wednesday Morning there was an incident on the E3, where a drill operation caught fire in a 30mm MDF board.

The fire was quickly brought under control – and no one was injured due to fast and efficient reaction by members from the workshop. But this was a near miss – and a reminder on how important it is to follow procedures.

Revised procedures – and means for further precaution will be enforced, as the machine is repaired and released for operation in near future.

Thanks to everyone for fast and efficient response.
Special thanks to Mads for climbing right in there – and disassembling the boards.
Now we can properly asses the damages and move on with the repair…

Vacuum pump service confirmed for Wednesday 16th.
