Tool Training: Introduction to X-Carve Pro CNC Router (04/21/2026)

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:30:00 GMT

Tool Training:

Introduction to X-Carve CNC

Tuesday, April 21st / 5:30-8:30pm

This Intro to X-Carve Pro CNC course is a required orientation for anyone wishing to use the X-Carve at The Mint, and provides a more in-depth, hands-on introduction than a basic overview.

During this three-hour class, students will learn how to design a CNC cut file using Easel software and safely set up and run a cut on the X-Carve Pro, gaining practical experience with both the software and the machine.

Instruction covers proper workflow, tool setup, material preparation, zeroing, and safe operation, ensuring participants understand not just how to run the CNC, but why each step matters.

Students are encouraged to bring a flash drive containing an .svg or .dxf file if they would like guidance on working with their own designs, though this is optional and not required to participate fully in the class.

Cost: $65.00

Instructor: Dan
