Introduction to CNC Routing

Want to learn how to design cnc projects and run them on the cnc router?

John Hassell will be running a two part introductory course for those interested in CNC routing. This course will give you some insight into the potential of cnc routing in woodworking projects.

The course will be run over two consecutive Saturday morning sessions. The first Saturday session on March 18th will be an introduction to VCarve Pro, the CAD software used to design cnc projects. The second Saturday session on March25th will be a practical session on the cnc  router.

In the first session we will work through a simple name plate design in VCarve Pro step by step, and in the second session we will look at how to set up and machine your project .

To participate in this course you will need:-

1. Reasonable computer literacy.

2. A Windows laptop computer and mouse. Sorry, VCarve Pro will not run on an Apple computer.

3. A functioning copy of VCarve Pro Trial Edition installed on your laptop. This can be downloaded from https://www.vectric.com/support/makerspace-sign-up

Make sure you just download and install V11.0 not V11.5

4. A piece of MDF or pine roughly 350 mm x 50 mm x 15 mm

The course is free, but you will need to take a ticket as we limit numbers to the first 10 persons.

See you there.
