– CNC Mill

How it works:

  • Table:
    • To clamp the workpiece to
    • Can be adjusted along all three axes
    • Locking mechanisms to prevent the table from moving
  • Spindle:
    • Various sizes and types of drill bits can be inserted into the spindle
    • Two separate levers allow you to lower the drill bit to the workpiece
    • Includes a locking mechanism to prevent the drill bit from moving when making contact with the workpiece
  • CNC Controller:
    • Displays the location of your table using x, y, and z coordinates
    • Each of the three coordinates can be re-zeroed independently, allowing you to create new references for precision work
    • Built-in calculator
    • Drill bit rotational speed
    • Spindle feed rate

When to use it:

  • Smooth out edges of a workpiece
  • Drill holes
  • Create slots in the workpiece

Location:

  • Tech Spark Fabrication Space – Hamerschlag Hall C Level
    • Open to all CMU students via training courses, primarily 24-200 Machine Shop Practice
