This is the first training session on the 6040 CNC machine at VHS. This machine is suitable for plastics and soft metals like aluminum.
Prerequisites
Members only
This is more of a refresher course. You must have been trained on the Taig CNC at our last Cook St location, or have equivalent experience using a CNC mill/router. You must already know how to generate CAM GCode, preferably using Fusion 360 as that’s what I’ll be using. If you’re a bit rusty, that’s fine — we’ll go over it briefly.

Oh me me me. I have some experience with CNC machines, I know how to use cad and cam software. But i have no training on Taig machine and the control system you are using. If there is no one else who wants to do it, I totally want to do it.
If you’re ever feeling like running one for somewhat less experienced people. I’d love to hear about it. I have almost complete 640 at home, would inspire me to finish it.
Our plan at the moment is to get a few of the more experienced members familiar with the machine so we can watch for issues and learn its eccentricities.
Then we can start other workshops in cad/cam and the machine its self.
sorry that this has been taking so long to get fully online.
