EDG - Milling for Beginners 24-1

Instructor: Dick Rohrbaugh

Class Assistant: John Mafrica

Prerequisite: Core Tool Certification Class

Every successful project begins with properly milled wood. There just is no way around it. In this class we will cover wood characteristics, movement issues, grain difficulties and tear out problems, all of which affect the quality of the milling process. We will begin with rough lumber and take it through the entire milling process in order to produce stock that is straight, flat, square and ready to use in any project. Materials will be provided. 

You must have the following Personal Protection Equipment (PPE):

• ANSI Z87.1 rated safety glasses if using the machine room.
• N95 or better dust mask.  These are generally optional but may be required by the Shop Attendant if they determine the air quality will require it. 
• Hearing protection 

Students should bring these items: pencil, combination square, and tape measure.
