DESCRIPTION: This is the basic metal lathe training. It is required for check-off on the metal lathes (i.e., to get badge access to the lathes in the machining area). We will go over safety, the parts of a lathe, basic turning, facing, and drilling operations, and lathe care/cleanup. This will be a hands-on class, and participants will have opportunities to operate the lathe a bit during the training. Members only (since the lathe is a red tool).

DATE AND TIME: October 29, 2022, 10AM-1pm.

COST AND REFUND POLICY: $20 per person. The fee goes 100% back to the machining area. Must cancel by the Wednesday before the class to get a refund. If the fee is a financial obstacle to your participation, DM @mark-i-m on slack.

SAFETY: Bring eye protection. Closed shoes only (no sandals, flip-flops, sock shoes, etc). No jewelry of any kind (rings, bracelets, necklaces). Long hair should be tied back or in a bun. No baggy sleeves or drawstrings (e.g., on a hoody or jacket) or any other dangly things that could get caught and drawn into a machine.
