The Maker Hub’s Router Table is not a table full of Wi-Fi routers. Rather than managing internet connection, the SawStop Router Table in the Maker Hub’s wood shop can be used to make custom moldings and slots in workpieces.

Router tables are extremely versatile in the types of cuts they can perform. Holes and channels of varying depths and nearly limitless shapes can be cut. The router table can also use special bits to cut bevels and chamfers along the edges of a workpiece. Check out this video to see how it works, and visit the Maker Hub’s wiki page for more information.

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.

Join the Swing Dance Club and the Jazz Ensemble tomorrow night (Saturday) for our Live Jazz Dance! No prior experience is necessary. We’ll teach you everything you need to know to have a fun time.

The IT department currently has 14 21.5-inch iMacs (2013) for sale for $75 each at the IT Service Desk.

They all have 16GB RAM, 500 GB SSD, and an i5-4570R 2.7 processor. The computers have been reset to factory settings, are installed with OS 10.15 Catalina, and are not upgradable. Best uses are for web browsing, streaming and applications that do not require a newer operating system. Some versions of MicroSoft Office will not run on these devices.

Please note that these computers are sold “as is.” We do not provide support or maintenance on these machines, or perform updates of any kind, and cannot guarantee the manufacturer will have parts available. Each computer comes with a power supply, keyboard and mouse.

Computers are being sold on a first-come, first-served basis at the Service Desk. We are not able to hold computers unless payment has been made. We accept debit and credit cards only for payment.

Our hours of operation can be found at it.georgefox.edu.

If you have any questions, please contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.
