Basic CNC Router Operation

Class Description & Agenda:

This is a certification workshop required of members before you can use the CNC Router on your own. Since this is a "Level 3" machine, you will also need to demonstrate to an instructor that you can operate the router safely. A "check-out" session will be at a separate pre-arranged time, but there will be no additional cost.

We will cover some of the abilities of the machine, terminology, safety, PPM policies, and the complete setup and execution of a job.

Prerequisite (REQUIRED):

Knowledge of G code generation.

Check out our Vcarve class under our main page. The class is not required, the G code knowledge is.

This training focuses on the operation of the router - not the creation of models.

RSVP limit is 3

Cost:

$60 for PPM-Members / Limited to Members Only at this time

Scheduling:

If you have any questions about the course, feel free to reach out in the #cnc-machine channel on Slack.
