This course is designed for individuals with no CNC experience.  


Using a computer to precisely control a router to cut and engrave wood is at the heart of CNC. The Shop has a Shapeoko 3 and Shapeoko XXL CNC which is capable of milling wood up to 33” x 33” in size. This class will teach you how to competently, confidently and safely use this tool with your woodworking projects.


The key to this class is practice. You will use the CNC from the very first session and by the end you will have completed four projects. To design your projects and to define your cuts you will use Carbide Create on the Shop CNC. Our goal in this course is to build confidence through practice. If you quickly want to know CNC then this is the class for you. 


Before the first class, students will be assigned preparatory homework.  During class, students must have a laptop loaded with the class software to complete their projects. Shop members will receive a Shop Slot to use for completing their certification project. 


This class comes with a Shop Slot for Members to use in completing their certification project.

 
Note: Membership in the Shop is required to use the bundled Shop slot.

For insurance reasons, all SDFWA classes require students to be at least 18 years old.
