In this 3-hour class at Saskatoon Makerspace, brought to you by Great Western Saw, students will learn the fundamentals of computer numerical control (CNC) technology and how to operate the shop's CNC router. Participants will learn how to use software to design a simple project, generate tool paths, and transfer their designs to the CNC router. The class will cover topics such as bit selection, material hold-down, and basic troubleshooting.
