Report generated from a filing. This report has also been sent to Asmbly staff, leadership, and space leads with any contact info that was provided. Provide additional photos or resources here to help. When the problem is resolved, ensure it is marked.

Someone has finished work on this and called it done.
Thank you for reporting it and helping us keep track of what needs attention.

Knowledgeable people have declared the press is still fine in its current condition. Unless the complainant is willing to identify themselves to discuss the matter, I have take the word of known experts over an anonymous post. :man_shrugging:t2: Marked resolved.

It is something I’d like to replace eventually as part of creating a comprehensive Bending Area, but it’s not a spending priority now.

I will post a reminder sign that, because it is not covered in the Metal Shop Safety class, it is not to be used without consulting a knowledgeable steward or the area lead. The press’s limitations can be discussed then.
