Free after basic induction
Benches and hand tools: one basic induction — then you use these devices on your own.

Induction & Access.
Before you step up to a device, we induct you — short, practical, once per thing. This page explains how the level model works and how you get into the workshop. What's binding in the end is the usage agreement you accept before you start working.
01 — Level model
Green, yellow, red — three ways to a device.
The level tells you how you get onto a device: what induction is involved and whether you work on your own or supervised only. It describes the way to the machine, not the price.
Plus device-specific induction
Some machines need an additional short, device-specific induction — then you're cleared for that device.
Supervised window only
The large machines run in a supervised window with oversight only — we're with you from setup to the last cut.
Not a contract excerpt
This is the operational explanation of the induction level model — not a contract excerpt; what's binding is the usage agreement.
Which level a device actually carries follows device by device with the first inventory — then the level shows right on the device in the catalogue. Supervised windows we'll announce as soon as they're set.
02 — Process
Into the workshop in three steps.
From first contact to first part — no detours. We agree dates and supervised windows with you along the way.
Ask
Tell us via Hours & Contact what you want to build. We'll work out which area and which devices fit.
Induction
At the agreed time you do the basic induction — and, where needed, the device-specific one. We go through the device-level details together there.
Build
Once cleared, you get going: green devices on your own, red ones in a supervised window. We're there when you need us.
03 — What to bring
So the induction runs quickly.
A few general things help you get ready fast. These are examples and pointers — not a definitive list.
- Your reference. Programme affiliation or registration — e.g. your SIB programme or your enquiry, so we can place you.
- Sturdy shoes. Sensible in the workshop: closed, sturdy shoes.
- Nothing loose around rotating machines. Tie back long hair, remove loose clothing and jewellery — as an example of how to handle spinning parts.
Device-level at the on-site induction
What you specifically need and observe per device you'll get at the on-site induction — that's where it's made concrete, device by device. What's binding is the usage agreement you accept beforehand.

We'll sort out area, date and induction with you — and invite you into the workshop.
