This is the page for the CNC system. Yes it is a work in process and not yet published. Bradford Aug 23, 2022<br /> <br /> The purpose of the certification is to make sure you are knowledgable in how to operate the CNC equipment safely. Most importantly for you, secondarily for the machine.<br /> To help with efficiency we ask that people take the main class online first. https://youtu.be/vXbZVdH5exc. There are also other videos online about using VCarve. <br /> The wiki also has information ranging from where to get material to the process of starting up and running a job.<br /> If there is sufficient need, I will also teach a VCarve Basic class to address any questions or concerns. These questions can also be asked either via Direct Message or Slack posts. I am using this content to create a Frequently Asked Questions page on the Wiki.<br /> At least once a month I schedule a hands on certification session. These are one on one and designed to be done in about 30 minutes.<br /> As @a_rudolph alluded to, there are no more sessions scheduled for this month [August 2022]. I will soon be scheduling for September.</div>
