ADMISSION

Interested in getting into machining? This two part series focuses on the two main tools, the milling machine and the lathe.  In short, the mill usually makes flat or straight features, while the lathe makes round features.  Over the course of a couple hours, we will cover the basic operation and safety considerations of the machine.  Class sizes are kept small to ensure all attendees get plenty of time to turn the dials themselves.

This class focuses on the mill.

You can prepare for the class by reading the Bridgeport Mill's Safety and Basic Operation guide
