Resources

The main room at the Reading Hackspace is of a reasonable size, and already has a good amount of tools and equipment available to use. Please be aware that most of the kit is owned by members of the space, and has been lent so that other may make use of them. Take care of the kit as if it were your own!

This page links to documentation on how to use each of the power tools in the Space safely. Please take a moment to read the relevant page before attempting to use each tool. Along with the general rules of the space.
