General Tips and Safety

• Wear safety glasses! Chips that come off are hot, and if your whole part comes off it will not be pretty.
• If you need a sharp endmill, you should have your own set. Our tools are shared use and are not always the sharpest.
• Clean and oil the machine's ways and surfaces when you are done
• DO NOT USED COMPRESSED AIR TO CLEAN
