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.

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.
