We’ve had a surge in requests lately to consult or help with CNC training. Being a small team, we don’t have the resources as well as in-person training is… not advised currently (dang COVID). The next best thing? We’re going to teach an online course on:

Learning the Basics of CNC & CAM

Some of the topics we’ll cover:

✔︎ What is CNC?

• Definitions, industry overview, and machine types

• Getting going on “G-Code”

• Putting G-Code to work and “Controllers”

• and a “shop basics” tour!

✔︎ CAM Basics

• The world of Computer-Aided Machining

• Breaking into the software: Fusion 360 and Vectric (VCarve)

• and a special “parametric functions” overview!

✔︎ CNC Tools

• Types of tooling

• Choosing the right tool for the job

• Feeds & Speeds

• and a sneak peek on “how I keep track of my tools”

✔︎ Toolholders

• What is “tool holding, ER, BT, CAT, oh my!

• Why torque is important.

✔︎ Workholding applications, benefits and uses

✔︎ Setting up your first project, from soup to nuts,(or CAD file to G-Code file).

More to come, this is the initial course outline.
