CNC Machining

CNC 2: INTERMEDIATE 3 AXIS MILLING builds on topics covered in CNC MACHINING 1: INTRO TO 3 AXIS CNC MILL MACHINING AND CAM, focusing on more advanced topics in CNC milling, including:

• Machine metal using a manual Bridgeport mill.
• Advanced work holding techniques for the mill, including custom fixtures and jigs.
• Use of precision instruments like Dial Indicators and 1-2-3 blocks for calibrating machines and parts to high accuracy for precision work in metals and other materials.
• Tolerance requirements in design and understanding their importance.
• Part layout and project planning.
• Additional manual GCode creation
• Fusion360 CAM workflows.

At the end of this class you'll be ready to take on my CNC 3: The Router Table class to learn how to operate the 4’x8′ CNC Router Table located at Hexlab Makerspace!

This class will immerse you in the wonderful world of Metal work! Learn to using Metal cutting tools and machines, and gain real world practical skills in the art of “subtractive manufacturing” aka Machining, from simple hand tools to a fully automated CNC machine!

By the end of this class, you will:

• Become certified to Use the 3 Axis Milling Machine (TAIG Micro Mill) with a 12” x 5.5” x 6” travel range (XYZ) and a 3.5” x 18” mill table. Using this machine you can easily engrave metal, mill out complex shapes and curves, and make highly precise components for use in robotics, electronic enclosure, custom machine designs, jewelery, art or engraving custom PCBs.
• Use common basic metal working tools like drills, drill presses, hacksaws, bandsaws and tap and die sets, and files correctly and safely.
• Understand metal fasteners, their use and selection
• Understand the basic physical properties of metals themselves, and how to cut and drill them and where and how to buy metal for use in your projects & designs
• Accurately mark and lay out metal parts to desired tolerances
• Use Fusion360 to Model Metal Parts correctly and generate correct CAM workflows for the TAIG mill
• Get _x_ hours of “open lab” time on the machine to do your own projects

CNC 1  is divided into 2 classes, as well as an assisted training help hour. We suggest you RSVP before all events. After attending CNC 1 you will be authorized to use the TAIG 3 axis mill independently and you be able to set off on your CNC adventures (we are still here to help if needed of course).

Be sure to attend CNC Machining 2 to learn larger machines and more advanced CNC machining techniques!
