Manual Mill - Safety, Operation, & Basic Use

Learn how to safely operate the Bridgeport manual knee mill. The manual mill is used to precisely cut and shape blocks of material, drill and cut slots, grooves, and pockets, as well as chamfer/fillet edges and create counterbores. You will gain hands-on-experience in changing end mills, using the coordinate system, both manual dials and digital readout system. Students will face a part and then use an edge finder to precisely cut a groove a certain distance from an edge. Basic techniques on secure workholding for accurate milling will be covered. After this class, you will be able to use this machine on your own in your fine metalworking projects. 

Materials: Cuts all machinable metals and plastics. 

Audience: This safety and basic use class is for all skill levels with some metal working experience.
