Lathe and Mill
Undergraduates are introduced to the lathe and mill in their first year module Machine Tools Lab. Undergraduates can request further 1-1 training with a technician for any reason, it can be to make parts for a society project or just for personal interest.
Come and chat to a technician if you're interested.

For a One-Off Project
You don't need to get the full lathe or mill training just to do a one-off project. A technician can help guide you through each step of the process with one-to-one supervision.
Email dyson-helpdesk@eng.cam.ac.uk and share a sketch and some details about what you want to make.

Bespoke Lathe and Mill Training
If you want to get a good grounding in machine use, for personal interest, or to manufacture items for a society, we offer a bespoke one-to-one course on the lathe and/or the mill. The training for each machine can be done in several sessions over the course of several days.
Email dyson-helpdesk@eng.cam.ac.uk and to arrange this.

Availability
The machine tool area is used 3 times a week during term time for the Machine Tools Lab module. So availability for other projects will depend on the timetable.
Shortly before or after term time is a great time to get some machining done.
