Ages 14 to 17 requires a parent or guardian present during the class. Looking for that perfect, one-of-a-kind gift? Why not give the “Gift of Experience”? Our classes and workshops are the perfect “unique” alternative to a material gift or “stuff” for any occasion! During this class, attendees will explore the exciting possibilities of woodworking with the use of a computerized CNC machine. The class is structured around the Rockler/Next Wave Shark CNC machine. Please download the free trial VCarve software from Vectric.com on to your laptop and bring that with you to the class. You will be utilizing that software during the class. This lecture will help you decide which CNC is right for you. We will take you through setup and programming for some woodworking projects and demonstrate how the tool can benefit you in your shop. This is a great course for those interested in purchasing their first CNC machine. If you are on the fence about investing in a CNC machine. If you have questions on setting it up and using the software, this class is a must. We show you how to create a simple project using V-Carve software, tool path planning and setting up the machine. All class participants receive a 15% discount on merchandise purchased in the store on the same day of their class. Exclusions Apply. Considering a 1-on-1 private Instruction?
