CNC
(extremely raw, page created 15:30, 1 April 2012 )
I'm on a quest to do be able to fabricate parts for some of my Robot and other projects in my home shop. To that end I've been investigating obtaining a lathe and a mill. I found a class that will teach me basic machinist skills as well as CNC. I figure this is the quickest way to obtain a fundamental education on the subjects. In the long run I'll save considerable time by attending this class http://www.simi.tec.ca.us/files/machine.asp rather than learning it all by trial and error and Bingle searches on the internet.
