Intro to Benchtop CNC
3 hours
Wondering if a benchtop CNC machine is a good investment for your shop? Here's your chance to see, first hand, what today's CNC machines can do. Vondriska Woodworks has machines from Laguna, Next Wave, and ShopBot. You'll see how the design work is done on VCarve software (common to many CNC machines), how material is secured to the work surface of the CNC, zeroing of the X,Y, and Z axes, bit changes, and how cuts are made on the CNC machine. This is a great opportunity to have a look at three different machines, and see what kind of detail a CNC can produce. Call or email to reserve your spot in this class. Please bring a folding chair and hearing protection.

You Can CNC
6 hours
Work with VCarve software to create a design that includes lettering and artwork. Learn to create toolpaths, check the paths for accuracy, and export the files for work on a CNC machine. You'll see different methods for securing the work to the CNC table, how to zero the axes, and you'll cut the project you designed.
