What have others been doing to deal with the colder weather? Im in Michigan, my garage is detached… not heated. I use a kerosene heater in the winter when I am out there. I haven’t had any rust issues , so I think because the garage is detached, I dont get the warm/wet house air rushing in there, s…

Hi Steve, I am also in Michigan (lake orion). Where about are you? Last year, 1F posted something about operating in temps 45 degrees and above. I use a Mr. Buddy propane heater that works well. Just make sure you have some airflow and fresh air moving in the shop so you dont have any carbon mono…

Like yourself my primary concern is …

That’s perfect! Buddy of mine suggested a thermostat controlled reptile light. Same basic concept. Thank you so much !!

My CNC is in an 8x10 shed in Virginia and I can’t keep a heater or anything running while I’m not in there. Bringing in the controller and screen isn’t a problem, but I’m most worried about the machine itself. The shed is not insulated or well sealed, but is protected from wind/rain. What can I d…

Matt, Everything that I’ve read says that the main concern is the controller/ screen. I too worry about the rails, motors and all that though. As part of the typical maintenance, 1F suggests using 3:1 oil and applying that to the rails and screws. I believe the oil will act as a rust inhibitor and…
