Learn to operate BARN's Laguna CNC woodworking router and go home with an oval, lidded box with custom engraving.

About this Class

If you have beginning skills in Fusion 360 software, this class will introduce you to this design program’s CAM (computer-assisted machining) functions.

At the first session in the ETA Studio, you will use Fusion 360 to design your box. Starting with a standardized design, you will tweak that design and create custom engraving to add to the lid.

At the second session in the Woodshop, you will use the CAM functions to develop tool paths for the router, output G code to run the router, and use the Laguna CNC to cut out and embellish your wooden box.

Details

Wear safety glasses and closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose-fitting clothing and jewelry. We recommend bringing your own safety glasses.

Project

You will create a box made of maple and walnut. With the lid, it measures 5 1/4" long, 4" wide, and up to 3" high. At the end of class, it will be ready for sanding and finishing.

Materials

Bring a laptop with a mouse and a working copy of Fusion 360 already installed.

Instructor

Doug Salot has adopted Fusion 360 as a lifestyle. He has used it to design signs, cabinets, and replacement parts for various broken things. You'll often find him in ETA using the laser cutter or in the woodshop carving things on BARN's CNC router.
