What is this?
With the acquisition of a new ShopBot Desktop ProMax with automatic tool changing we are hoping to get more people involved in continued support of St. Michael's and make our CNC training more systematic to improve skills of mentors and students.
We now have access to a set of 10 ShopBot Basic CNC Training videos and will begin reviewing them on Monday Feb 19. We’ll do this on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 4:30 PM with the students at St. Michael’s Woodshop at 691 St. Paul Street. You are registering for ALL THREE SESSIONS. It will provide you with an overview of how the tools work and how to get started, as well as learning to work on file creation, and more.
For those who can’t make it at that time we’re also considering streaming on Zoom or Teams meetings. Please email s_macintyre@yahoo.com if you're interested in this.
Prior to starting on these training modules, I suggest that you download the demo version of VCarve Pro (if you don't already have it) and familiarize yourself with the software to get the most out of the information in these training sessions. You can find the demo version of VCarve Pro on the Vectric website: http://www.vectric.com/
Here is a list of some of the topics that are covered in all 10 videos. Note, this registration is for just the first 3 or 4 of them:
Introduction to ShopBot Control Software and mechanical systems.
Basics of loading software.
Basics of moving a ShopBot tool.
What is a cutting file, and how do you run one? Creating a design in VCarve Pro software.
Toolpath generation for efficient and safe cutting of your design.
Converting your project file into a ShopBot cutting file.
How to preview your part file in the ShopBot Control Software before cutting.
What is the difference between all the bits and why to choose one vs. another.
Cutting out of the final project
