This in-person training session will instruct attendees how to operate the ShopBot PRS Alpha CNC router table at Machyne. Students will learn the capabilities, operation, and safety protocols for the ShopBot. After attending the class users will know how to power the machine; move the tooling in X, Y, and Z; fasten materials to the bed; insert bits; set the origin & Z-Height; and how to safely run jobs on the machine. Actual design of parts to be machined will be covered in a separate virtual video class. Students who are not familiar with design for CNC machining are strongly recommended to take the virtual video class first.

Note – Machyne’s ShopBot PRS Alpha cut-size is 5’x10′ with 13″ Z-height from the bed to the collet, and is outfitted with a variable speed spindle
