Intro to CNC: Hands-On Machine Operation
This class is the second step in learning the Avid CNC. We'll cover basic CNC operations and get hands on experience with a project.

About this Event

This course is the second class in our CNC training series, focusing on hands-on machine operation. It requires that you've already attended .



Building on what we learned in WOOD150, this class will teach you how to safely operate the Avid CNC, from powering it on to running a complete cut.

We’ll cover essential topics like work-holding methods to secure materials, performing tool changes, and setting up the machine for accurate cutting. The class will conclude with each participant running a basic project, reinforcing the skills needed for independent CNC work. This course will give you the necessary operation skills for the practical test.

Hello everyone! I’m John. I’ve been passionate about woodworking for about six years and am really enthusiastic about fostering a community within CCM. Originally from Lubbock, TX, I relocated to Denver in mid-2016 to pursue a career in software engineering. I’m eager to teach classes and contribute to expanding both the woodshop and our community offerings at the Makerspace. Besides woodworking, I have a keen interest in 3D design and printing, software development, gaming, and climbing. I live nearby, so you’ll probably see me around quite often! I look forward to connecting with all of you and building something great together.
