This class will introduce you to the Tormach CNC mill and Bridgeport mill. You will learn basic operation with an emphasis on safety. With the successful completion of this class you will be certified to use the Tormach CNC mill and Bridgeport mill on your own.
Students can pick up a free copy of ‘A Machine Shop Companion for the Manual Vertical Milling Machine: Helpful Information for Starting with Precision Metalworking’ by Dale Grover.
This is an incredibly useful resource, particularly for those interested in, or having recently started with manual machining. Much of the information also applies to CNC Milling. Additional copies are available at Maker Works, or online at Little Lake Tech & Amazon.
