We want to open up the stage to anyone interested in sharing a cool song or to preform in front of a low-key public audience of fellow students and community members.

The Grizzly vertical spindle sander is normally used for sanding the inside corners of wood or sanding curved surfaces square to the table. The machine contains a 1HP motor and has 10 different sanding spindles ranging from a quarter inch to to 4 inches in diameter.
The oscillating action gives users a smooth-sanded surface at 1725 RPM. Check out this video to see how it works. For more information, visit the Maker Hub’s wiki page.
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
