Instructor-Asa Christiana
This class is designed for the member to become certified on the "Core tools" and is required to work in the Guild machine room or to take classes using the “core” power tools.
The class consists of two 4-hour sessions and will certify you on the commonly used "core” power tools: chop saw, bandsaw, jointer, planer, table saw, stationary sanders and the drill press.
The instructor will demonstrate using each tool and discuss safe practices. There will be the opportunity to practice using each tool. By the end of the class, one should feel comfortable operating each tool safely. Upon successful completion, the instructor will certify the member on the 7 core tools. Materials will be provided. Bring proper Personal Protective Equipment (Eye, ear and lung protection).
Note: Completion of Intro to the Guild (all members) and Getting Started (beginners only) are prerequisites for taking this class. If you've taken the S & O class within the last year but still need the old Machine Skills classes, this is the new class you need to take.
