About the event
CNC is a wood (or plastic) milling technique using a programmed three axis drill-like router. Join MoCo Maker member Tim in a working session to do maintenance on the CNC, and along the way see how to operate and programmatically control it. A milling operation will be demonstrated. You can mill wood into any shape using 2d outlines, or more complex 3d shapes. This will be a fantastic learning opportunity! All backgrounds and skill-levels welcome.
