On The ShopBot
There is now a separate software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the VCarve software. This class will not have limited capacity, so anyone can attend.

If a class is not scheduled in the Meetup.com calendar and one has not happened for some time, you should first search for a current thread on the mailing list to avoid duplicating conversations. If no recent threads exist, ask on the member list when the next certification is. If you would like to request a class for different times than are regularly available, please post to the member list and contact the area host.
