(Sorry that it's late...)
We learned the basic funtions of the CNC, like how to move the table to the left or to the right, continuously or by steps. We also learned where the emergency stop button is located at (for safety reasons). I learned that when the emergency stop is pressed, you can't start the CNC just by pressing the green button or the reset button on the computer. I learned that you have to turn the Emergency stop button clockwise in order for the CNC to operate again. Today, we used the CNC to make the bearing blocks.The bearing blocks are used to support the shaft which are used for the wheels. Since the bearing blocks are in an unique shape, it would be extremly difficult to make it on the mills. On the other hand, Mr. Ing can create a design in Mastercam or Autodesk inventor and input it into the CNC. Then the CNC does the work for you.
