			The MakerSpace has multiple options for CNC /routing/milling tasks. The first level is the use of the "Carvey" CNC router, which is very easy to use and can work with both wood and plastic materials. On the second level is the Tormach PCNC 770 which is capable of extremely high-precision and working with more difficult materials such as aluminum and steel.

			Because of the training requirements for the Tormach PCNC 770 mill, it is generally not considered a "Rapid Prototyping Tool". For more information on training, please see the "CNC Tools" section under [[Safety and Manuals]].

	For information on safety and [[PPE]] requirements for each machine in the MakerSpace, see the [[Job Hazard Analysis]] forms.		For information on safety and [[PPE]] requirements for each machine in the MakerSpace, see the [[Job Hazard Analysis]] forms.
