Tool Training: Mill + Lathe

This hands-on training session will introduce members to the milling machine and lathe available in the InterAccess studio.

In this 3-hour session, participants will learn:

• How to operate the Sherline 12" tabletop mill properly and safely
• How to operate the Sherline 17" benchtop lathe properly and safely
• Best practices for using the machining tools in the InterAccess studio

Tool Training sessions are designed for InterAccess members to learn how to operate the studio equipment safely and independently. These sessions are available at no cost to Studio Members. Non-members, including those looking to access equipment during Open Studio, can register to receive this training for a $25 fee.

After this training, members will be approved to use the mill and lathe.

About the Trainer

Sarah is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans across sculpture, video, sound, electronics, and code. She often plays with juxtapositions and contradictions in form and function, resolving discordant elements into a continuous body: retrofitted industrial objects with fabricated parts, a wall of connected electronics with sonic reflections but no purpose. Currently, she works at U of T’s Myhal Centre Fabrication Facility, providing fabrication guidance and equipment assistance to students. Previously, she worked at OCAD U’s Rapid Prototyping Centre where she gained 4 years of experience with a wide range of digital fabrication methods and machines.
