#Import the CAD design from Bantam Tools into the software. The software is proprietary and is pinned to the station desktop with a rooster icon. #Position the design where you want it to be cutusing X, Y, Z coordinates. #Select the appropriate material and tool(s).

This can be done #Use the provided wrenches to hold the spindle in place while loosening the collet nut. You’ll notice two clicks before the previously inserted tool is released. If possible, use a finger to hold on to the tool while loosening so that it does not fall from the collet.#Insert the new tool and tighten with the wrenches until snug (you don't need to go crazy).#Indicate which tools you have available through the software promptingmenu.#Click Locate Tool and watch as the software automatically locates the tool.

Try to minimize the number of toolchanges tool changes while optimizing the paths of the selected tools; that is, small tools for precision work, large tools for removing areas of the material.==Workshop checklist=====Learning Objectives===By the end of this Workshop, you should: #Know the different parts of the mill, and which parts are dangerous.#Understand the differences and advantages of available tools.#Understand the differences and advantages of available stock. ===Measurable Outcomes===By the end of this Workshop, you should be able to: #Control basic machine functionality.#Load stock into the machine.#Load a design into the software, and position and adjust its attributes.#Change a tool.#Mill an object from a design.#Effectively clean the machine.
