The Shopbot will familiarize you to using CNC and other necessary concepts such as feeds and speeds, tool choice, etc. Only part 1 of Shopbot Authorization is required and will eventually be replaced by a distinct CAD/CAM course (TBD, 2019). We also strongly recommend completing Shopbot Part 2 especially if you are new to CNC milling, as the Shopbot cuts more forgiving materials, as well as more forgiving feed and speed rates.

'''THIS IS NOW A RECOMMENDATION, NOT A REQUIREMENT'''
Allows you to square your material for the Tormach as well as learn basic, manual milling operations. Also provides more practice with speeds, feeds and drilling operations. For those who are not already authorized when planning our their Tormach authorization, we recommend taking the Materials, Speeds and Feeds Reference Guides Section of the Tormach Canvas course to get a more thorough introduction to Feeds & Speeds.

The Online Canvas Course will cover topics such as Feeds & Speeds, Workholding, Tooling, and PathPilot (Tormach's CNC controller software). The course should take 3 hours to complete, not including CAM assignment.

You may “test out” of the online course by submitting the CAM project.
'''2. Provisional Machine Authorization'''
'''2. Provisional Machine Authorization'''
There is a practical machine authorization component in the more traditional style of PS1 authorizations. Provisional authorization is granted at this stage. This component is 2-3 hours in length.

'''3. Personal Project'''
Full authorization is granted after participants submit a personal project with CAM code for review through Canvas and then run the job successfully on their own with the supervision of an authorizer. This stage may be repeated up to 3 times if necessary.

<s>Full authorization is granted after participants submit a personal project with CAM code for review through Canvas and then run the job successfully on their own with the supervision of an authorizer. This stage may be repeated up to 3 times if necessary.</s>
The personal project requirements has been lifted. Nonetheless, please feel free to request assistance or supervision from either an authorizer or another authorized user while running your project. The #cnc user group in Slack is also always available to provide advice and assistance.
To start the authorization process, you must go to Canvas and select the CNC:Tormach course via "Join this Course". You may start the online course material at any time, but must complete all elements of the online course up until the Harbinger CAM project before being eligible for the practical machine component of authorization.
