About the Fabrication: Lab Zero Sanding Room
The Lab Zero Sanding Room is an open-access space for sanding, shaping, carving, and finishing unfinished wood, foam, and plastic. The combination of downdraft tables and a ceiling-mounted air scrubber help improve the air quality, though an N95 respirator MUST still be worn to work in this space.
Various shaping and carving tools are available at the Tool Center for checkout: angle grinders, pneumatic die grinders, powered sanders, and Foredom rotary tools. Basic sanding discs and 1/8" rotary bits are provided to be compatible with tools that students checkout from the Tool Center. And, all users are encouraged to invest in the specialty bits their projects will require, the Tool Center selection is limited.
