Description

Bridgeport authorization training class. MakeItLabs is hosting a class on how to operate the Bridgeport knee mill. This class offers learning on safety and rules of the machine shop, basic operation of the mill, and basic machining principles (cutting tools, workholding, feeds / speeds, simple milling). Students that complete this class will be qualified to run the manual knee mill and mini bed mills in the machine shop at MakeItLabs independently. This class teaches the basic machining principles to get students comfortable doing entry level 2-axis milling projects and is not designed to make machining experts or qualify someone for a career in machining. This class does not cover use of the conversational CNC prototrak system on the Bridgeport. No prior machining experience is required but a knack for machinery and working with tools is preferred. This Class series is limited to 4 students per class. This is done to ensure sufficient hands on time during the class. Take care not wear loose clothing (loose sweatshirts, coats, ties, hood draw strings, lanyards, necklaces) or clothing that can get caught in machinery such as rings and watches. Long hair must be tied back. Appropriate footwear required (No open toed shoes).
