Today, in the interest of safety our table saw, metal lathe, band saws, metal cut off saw, drill press and bench grinders were sent away to be scrapped. Also taken was a radial arm saw.
All the machinery was at least twenty years old and had survived a move of workshop seven years ago. I am not aware of any incidents with the equipment it was deemed unsafe and admittedly some of the equipment could have been better, or at least (floor) stop buttons could have been installed.
Now we have next to no tools. :(( What next? Deem screwdrivers are a dangerous tool: people have been killed with them? :( Ban power drills? I have my cordless, batteryless drill ready to go but we now lack a facility to sharpen drill bits.
A couple of people have said it is a step towards getting rid of full time staff and just bring in contractors.
Management have indicated some of the tools will be replaced, I will believe it when it happens.
