 It's up to veteran teams and mentors to help keep the original spirit of FIRST alive. - It's up to us to make these boards exemplify the FIRST principals in every post.

Re: CNC Machines
Our team has three of our own CNC machines. Two HAAS Machines (1 VF-2 Mill and one SL-10 Lathe) and a FADAL EMC Mill. They are all run by students on our team and programmed by them as well. We do all our CAD/CAM in GibbsCAM and export with custom posts. Our machines are our babies and we treat them as such but anyone in the area is welcome to use our resources if we can share them.

Re: CNC Machines
Our school has several mills and lathes, a bandsaw, and some other saws. Two of our sponsors are customer metal fabricators so we also have access to pretty much any metal machine under the sun (including the awesome heloarching we got done). But i'm talking about machines the size of classrooms here.
The funny thing is...it seems like nothing is getting done at our sponsors because all they do is think about the robot and do stuff for it...kinda like students in class. |

Re: CNC Machines
I have a cnc mill in my basement. It's not big like the ones people have in school shops but it does the job for the robot and my other hobbies. As far as learning how to use it, self education.
