Intro to Milling Machine

This course (odoo content, videos, in-person presentations, and proficiency demonstrations) are intended to give students, mentors, and others a very basic understanding of how to safely use a Milling Machine.  No one will become a skilled machinist from this course alone, nor will participants be able to come close to learning about all that a milling machine can do.  The course is intended to convey basic safety and machining content to enable participants to machine parts suitable for use on a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) robot.
