Machine Shop

With more than 1,500 sq. ft., the machine shop contains a drill press, horizontal band saw, vertical band saw, three bridgeport mills, a sheet metal shear, a bending brake, a waterjet cutter and two lathes for students to utilize. There is also a CNC milling machine that is not available for students to operate, but they can send their approved part files to Nick, our CNC specialists and have their pieces made for them. This is a limited and not necessarily time sensitive resource, but, available nonetheless.
