MACHINE SHOP CLASSES
In The Crucible's machine shop you can learn the secrets to becoming a machinist. Machining is a material removal method in which power-driven tools, such as lathes, milling machines and drill presses, drive sharp cutting tools to cut materials to a desired precision and accuracy. Machining is used on engines, bicycles, appliances, kinetic or mechanical projects and much more. Our machine shop also has a lab for experienced workers to work on personal projects and for new students to perfect their machining skills.
