¶ Welcome to Hobelhöhle
From chipping come chips.
¶ Introduction requirement
The room itself may only be entered with a member that has received personal safety instructions for this room.
If you are unsure about anything, ask people on site or in the chat and only continue when you are super sure.
¶ Basic safety guidelines in the Hobelhöhle
Working on woodworking machines is considered particularly dangerous, as the workpiece is often guided by hand on a rapidly rotating tool. For this reason, the machines must be equipped with suitable protective devices that minimise the risk of injury. In addition, exposure to wood dust and noise can pose particular health risks to humans.
Please read the following rules carefully and conscientiously.
- Only use tools being sober. Don't rush and keep the safety of all people present in mind.
- Wear hearing protection when operating noisy machines, even if only for a short time. Please also make sure that other people in the room do the same.
- Danger areas are slightly conical, rising from the machine to the rear on the operator side of the circular saw and the thickness planer. There is a risk of workpieces being ejected. No other persons should be present in these areas during processing.
- To change tools, before eliminating faults and before cleaning disconnect the machine from the power supply.
- Wear close-fitting clothing, no necklaces, no long loose hair.
- Wear sturdy shoes, preferably safety shoes with protective toecaps, hearing protection and safety goggles if necessary.
- Secure workpieces against displacement, for example by clamping.
- Always hold hand machines with both hands
- Only work with sufficiently large workpieces that can be guided safely on the machines.
- If it is necessary to machine small parts, build a suitable holder or look for another safe solution.
- Machines can only be operated with a vacuum cleaner. Make sure that it is not full. If it does, replace the filter bag.
- Dust from hardwoods such as oak and beech can cause cancer in humans. In addition, wood dust can cause respiratory and skin problems and, in worse cases, allergic reactions. Wood dust is also combustible and can form explosive mixtures with atmospheric oxygen.

¶ Safety guidelines for the individual machines
All tools and equipment may only be used after having received personal safety instructions for this room.
Almost every Tuesday, if it is on the calendar, the “Beat Hobelhöhle” takes place, where you get an introduction to the machines you currently need.
The following machines require separate instructions:
¶ Stationary machines
For ripping timber in fibre direction and panel materials
Slide compound miter/drop sawcuts timber and boards to length with angles of 90-45°
Band sawfor curved cuts or rough cutting of timber
Thicknessing PlanerMakes timber thinner
Drill pressMakes holes in pretty much everything
It's not your senior drill instructor ...
... It's where doughnuts came from.
This is our lathe. There are many others like it, but this one is ours.
CNCDoes what the computer says
Tormek sharpenerWet grinding machine for tool sharpening
Shaper OriginCNC Hand Router, makes shapes from SVG Files?! 😮
¶ Hand machines
for straight cuts, preferably with a guide rail
Hand Jigsawfor curved cuts and for notching corners
Hand Routersfor routing profiles such as: grooves, chamfers, roundings, ... And milling out pockets.
Hand PlanerMakes timber thinner and can be roughly rebated and chamfered

¶ Surface finishing
- Use gloves!
- Spray application is generally prohibited in the xHain
- Sufficient ventilation must be ensured for all other surface work! Only small areas possible.
- bleach, just don't do it @xHain
- Stripping, just don't do it @xHain
¶ Oiling
- Apply a thin layer of oil
- After 5 minutes, remove excess oil with a cloth, otherwise it will not harden and will result in a viscous gelatinous mass.
- Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the drying time. RTF-technical-data-sheet
Rags, felt pads, cloths or sponges soaked in oils (e.g. wood, hard or hard wax oils) can ignite spontaneously under certain circumstances. Inflammation typically only occurs after several hours, sometimes even after a few days.
Oily cloths, sponges or similar items must never be left lying around carelessly! During work, the used cloths must always be spread out or preferably stored in an airtight metal container. For disposal, the oil-soaked cloths, sponges or similar must first be immersed in a bucket of water and completely soaked. They must then be spread out in the open air to dry. Only after the oil has completely dried and hardened may it be disposed of with household waste.

¶ Rules of order
- If something is broken or missing, post in chat "Hobelhöhle" and stick a notice.
- Always return tools and machines to their place.
- Clean the workplace after completion of the work, preferably with a vacuum cleaner. Only use hand brushes and shovels if necessary, as they stir up the dust.
- If the rubbish bin is full, please empty it in the courtyard, the front door key is located on the Furby by the electrical components.
- Leave the Hobelhöhle tidier than you found it, even if you can't help it, everyone forgets something from time to time.
