About this Event

This four-hour class will cover safe and proper setup of the Bridgeport milling machine through lecture and hands-on demonstrations. The course is designed for new users who have a strong interest in metalworking tools. We will first teach how to install and remove tooling, set up and use vises, and select and change spindle speeds. We will then teach the basics of operating the tool, including end mills and slot milling, conventional and climb milling operations, use of an edge finder, and hole spotting and boring.

About the instructor:

Ken Wright is a full-time Precision Machining Instructor at Southern Maine Community College. After working construction for about ten years after high school (climbing cell towers), he completed the Precision Machine Tool program at SMCC, graduating in 2014 with high honors.

Ken worked for ten years at Hunting Dearborn in Fryeburg Maine, in the CNC Milling, Solar Turbine Department, and Oil & Gas departments, the last five years as a Project Manager.
