This is a foundation class designed to provide what you need to know to safely operate BARN’s CNC Mill.

We’ll cover CNC basics beginning with X, Y, & Z axes motion that define the work envelope, how to hold material, various cutting tools. This will include the Tool Library and tool height offsets. We’ll also touch on different ways to generate g-code (the language that controls the CNC machine. Finally, we’ll create some simple g-code, cut some air and if there’s enough time, cut some material.
