CMC Mill
The CNC mill is a Mill that removes material from woods, medals, plastics, and more. It can create lots of things like signs and more.

At the Waunakee high school innovation center there are 2 Tormach CNC Mills.

Some if the things I learned about the mills that they are the smallest PCNC mill, the mill has 4 horsepower, and the mills max RPMS is 10,000 RPMS.

The software used to set up your project is PathPilot it sets up the paths that the mills tool will use to cut it out.

If I could make anything with the mill I would make a sign. I am getting a new horse and I need a new stall sign so that would be cool to make out of wood with a fun font. I would have to have my horses name, my name and number, my vet, and my farrier's number on it. Kind of like the ones to the side I think wood would look nice or a brass medal.

Over all I learned a lot about what this great tool can do. I wish we still had the chance to use it but there seems to be lots of things you can cut out or engrave with the CNC mill. I learned about the software that is used before you use the machine and how the different colors mean a different tool path. kt would have been a cool tool to work with!
