The School District of River City Falls (WI) and Kyle Stapleton are proud to announce that we will be hosting a 3 day CNC Training Seminar, August 11, 12 & 13, 2016 at the Renaissance Academy in the Workshop and Technology Lab.

Our school address is:
River Falls Renaissance Academy
1107 South Wasson Lane
River Falls, WI 54022

The Seminar will provide training on Vectric software titles Cut 2D, VCarve Pro and Aspire combined with instruction on machine operation, material hold down and placement. It is modeled after the very successful Aspire Camps presented by Jim McGrew in recent years, combined with OEM software training plus the added benefit of a full day of user selected software training with "at the machine" demos. We have 2 CNC machines; a ShopBot 5 by 8 and Desktop that will both be used in the Workshop portion. There will be information that benefits users of machines, both large and small, of any brand. Please download the Class Agenda PDF for a full description.

The Seminar will be presented by instructors Michael Mezalick and Gary Campbell. Both have a wealth of knowledge and a decade of experience with Vectric Products and various brands of CNC machines. This training seminar is designed to both bring new users an increased knowledge and confidence for their CNC journey and provide techniques and methodology that will offer seasoned veterans new tools to increase their success.

The cost for the 3 day seminar is $300. This covers tuition, various handouts, water, soft drinks, coffee, donuts and light snacks. There will be a 1 hour lunch break which should allow you to enjoy one of our fine local restaurants. There are a limited number of seats available that will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. Confirmation will be based on date of actual payment, not register date. Once registered, you will be sent an email with payment options.

The list of attendees is starting to build for this Training Seminar.
Attendees are reminded to bring a problematic design file. These can be files
that are generated by Cut 2D, VCarve Pro or Aspire. (including Desktop versions)

If time allows, solutions for Photo VCarve and Cut 3D problems will be
discussed also.

There have been a number of emails regarding the differences between machine and or control software brands. Michael and I have designed our classes to minimize these differences.

The actual design doesn't normally change between machine brands, but toolpath parameters need to be appropriate for material, machine and bit. These items and post processor selection, along with file saving and transfer are covered. There are close to a dozen different brands of machine owners registered, which should allow for some great discussion.

There are 5 things that all CNC operators must know to be successful no matter what emblem is on their machine. The actual command or mfgr given name will vary with the control software, but the machine actions and how they affect the operator are the same. They are: (in generic terms)

Set Machine Coordinates (home, set machine or table coordinates, set to limits)
Place and hold material
Set the X & Y datum (zero) to corner or center of material
Set the Z zero to the top or bottom of material
Load and run the cutting file

These items are covered in depth, along with reasons you may want to choose one option over another. Knowing why and how to accomplish these 5 steps, selecting the best option for the project, and how to match the design criteria are the are the basis for the CNC portions of the classes.

CNC Seminars is please to announce that Burton Gavin will be our guest presenter at the upcoming River Falls WI seminar.
August 11-13
Burt is a retired Tool & Die maker, who now makes wooden toys.
The toys are mostly his designs and are usually patterned after real vehicles.
Once a toy is complete he will donate the toys to Toys For Tot`s and the local women's shelter.

We think everyone will enjoy seeing and learning what and how this miniature marvels come to be.

Seat still available..
