Description
Join us for a 1 Day Intro to CNC Class!
Are you thinking about getting into CNC but don’t know where to start? Want to put your hands on a machine, try out the software, learn about different bits and change them in the spindle? Would you like to speak with a CNC expert that isn’t trying to sell you something, and will talk to you about the pros and cons of different machines? Would you like to make something on a CNC machine yourself before you take the plunge? Join us for this special Intro to CNC to get started!
We get it. We’ve been there. So we designed this Intro to CNC class just for you.
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 and you can use our CNC machines while you learn. 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). Here is the schedule for the day, we hope to see you there!
This will be a hands-on experience, open to 16 people.
