[Resolved 10/14] Red Tag - Large Mill: Upper Z-Stop Missing

Operations Red / Yellow Tag
1

A key safety component, the upper Z-axis auto-stop bar, was removed or otherwise came off the machine. I found the main piece nearby, but several other parts are missing. If anyone knows what happened and where those other pieces are, please let me know. (One of the missing components is non-trivial and would have to be machined.)

Until this can be restored, the machine is red-tagged. Most work done on the machine is performed at the top of the Z range; it would be far too risky to work without the auto-stop in place.

Is there an ETA on this?

The key missing piece was found this evening. I can get replacement bolts and do the necessary setup tomorrow afternoon. It should be available after the mill class is over tomorrow evening.

This was indeed fixed and adjusted last night. But note this very important note related to that.
