Power Tool Fundamentals: Table Saw

with Lauren Allen

Saturday, September 14, 10 AM - 4 PM

This is a basic instructional class directed at one of the most useful tools in the entire shop: the table saw. Students will learn basic table saw safety and operation in-depth. Step-by-step, we will walk you through table saw setup, essential personal safety, care and control of the saw, table saw anatomy, blade selection and proper installation, calibration, and how to safely get the most out of this valuable tool. We will be working specifically with the SawStop, and we'll learn the features specific to SawStop technology. However, the processes we cover apply to all table saws, and this class is for students who wish to learn about all table saws in general. Students will have hands-on experience in class as they apply the principles learned. This is not a project class, but rather a comprehensive master class on table saw essentials. These are small classes! Confirm your enrollment as soon as possible to ensure your spot in class.

CNC I: CNC Basics And Vectric Software

with Bob Stanforth

Saturday, September 28, 9 AM - 4 PM

Computer Numeric Control (CNC) technology offers woodworkers far greater accuracy and repeatability for many types of router and power carving projects. Professionals and hobbyists alike can create custom multiples of most anything faster and more accurately than any project fabricated manually. In this first class of our CNC series, students will learn how versatile CNC machines can be as Bob teaches students Vectric's software related to our in-store CNC units, and the variety of file types which may be imported, graphics compatibility, post processing cut paths, what materials are best to cut, and what shapes and styles may be fabricated. Materials may range from woods, plastics, MDF, soft non-ferrous metals, and solid surfacing materials. In this class, Bob will demonstrate a variety of techniques and projects which are useful to a range of woodworking specialties. Possible projects may include relief projects such as rosettes and other furniture or architectural embellishments, matching period pieces for restoration work, plaques, puzzles, labyrinths, intarsia pieces, boxes, RC craft pieces, bowls, home accessories such as Christmas tree ornaments and kitchen items, business branding and marketing collateral, and much more! NOTE: To get the most out of the class, students must PRE-LOAD their laptop IN ADVANCE OF CLASS with either the demo or paid version of Vectric software (either the Desktop, Pro, or Aspire version).
