Machining, the art and science of sculpting finished parts from raw materials using machine tools, often remains one of the least understood of the Maker skills. The Foundry staff can help remove the mystery and show you how to safely set up and operate our lathes, milling machines and grinders.  Sometimes from here members go on to develop skills in Computer Numerical Control so the machine does much of the work itself.

Machines:

• Bridgeport Vertical Mills
  
• Horizontal Lathes
  
• Drill Presses
• Surface Grinder
  
• Machinists Measuring Tools
