This class is the kick-off session for registered attendees to be followed by one-on-one mentoring to learn CNC programming and machining. Each student will be assigned to a mentor who will work with you to complete a set of assigned machined parts. The one-on-one sessions (5 sessions) must be completed within the 4 weeks following the general session

To be a candidate for this training you must:

Be dedicated to learning CNC programming and machining, not just to “try it”.
Have a laptop computer running up to date Windows 10 or 11 with an up-to-date anti-virus program installed. The software used is not available on Apple computers.
Have a good working knowledge of Windows, specifically File Explorer.
Have a good understanding of the principles of drafting. The training requires you to make drawings using the computer.
A good understanding of how to apply spindle speeds, feeds and depth of cut for routers as well as router bit types.
A good level of woodworking experience.
Have the time to spend 12-15 hours with a mentor in the 3-4 weeks following the group session.
Please bring your laptop to the Kick Off session.

This class requires the use of sophisticated software. An experienced member is going to dedicate 12-15 hours to you individually, so commitment and meeting the prerequisites are an absolute must.
