The Manual Mill is a milling machine that removes metal by rotating a multi-toothed cutter that is fed into a moving workpiece. A manual mill can remove material along all three axes X, Y and Z, which makes it capable of machining relatively complex parts. The mill in the Metal Shop at Pier 9 is a Bridgeport Series I Standard Knee Mill, but the information in this class is applicable to most manual metal mills.
This class is the most advanced class in a greater course series covering Metal Shop safety and basic use. In this course series you will learn how to safely operate and adjust machines to cut, shape, and drill metal.
