Status
No scheduled authorizations yet. Fully functional, wired for power, and operable. Danger committee and volunteers have attended and others will be attending training sessions.
Prerequisites to Authorization
The proposed Prerequisites for Tormach Authorization are as follows:
For basic cutting and drilling of stock using Johnson Saw, DoAll Bandsaw Saw, and Drill Press.
2D CNC machines that will familiarize you to using CNC and other necessary concepts such as feeds and speeds, drill choice, etc.
Allows you to square off your material for the Tormach as well as learn basic, manual milling operations. More practice with feeds and speeds and 3-dimensional drilling operations.
It is also highly encouraged that you familiarize yourself with CAD/CAM methodology, and more specifically with Fusion 360 as that is the software we will be teaching and authorizing with. It is currently free for hobbyists and startups and can be downloaded here.
Authorization
As of 07/14/18, authorization protocol is still being created and no sessions are currently scheduled.
There will be an online Canvas course component as well as hands-on machine training for the Tormach covering the basics of running a successful job. More specific information on this course will be available by the end of the month.

Additional Resources & Support
PS1 will be holding monthly [Tormach User Meetings|] for Chicago Tormach users starting in September or October. These events will be open to the Public.
There is also a Google Group mailing list you can join for discussing anything Tormach-related including troubleshooting, Sprutcam, Fusion 360, and different Tormach models.
You can learn a great deal about the CAM aspect by training yourself up in Fusion 360's CAM mode. mHUB has two Tormach milling machines available to their members, with regular training sessions.
