We get it, we have been there. There are many things to learn about CNC, and it does take time to learn, but it isn’t hard. Over the last few years many folks have asked us to create a class to help them answer these questions – so we finally did, and we want to invite you to join us.

Join us for a fun 1-Day class to explore CNC without the burdens and pressures of salespeople or CNC company employees. We will tell you the truth about these machines, what we like and what we don’t. You can feel free and confident to ask us what you want; while you learn on, and use our machines. You will have a morning session of ‘kicking the tires’ where you will get to ask questions, change bits, move the tools around, and even make a custom monogrammed cutting board to take home (or give to someone special for the holidays). Hope to see you there!
