 ====Choosing tools====
 Many tools are optimized for different materials, and although a 2 flute endmill can do most operations, it is not always ideal. Single and duel high helix endmills are available for plastics, woods, and composites, with carbide endmills and burs available for abrasive materials like glass fiber reinforced materials such as circuit boards.

 ====File Types====
-G-Code files will be posted with the file extension .nc whereas Carbide Create will post files with the file extension .egc. G-code files can be opened directly into a text editor if necessary to preview or edit the desired code. .egc is a propriety package for G-Code used by Carbide for some god forsaken reason, in order to preview the G-code directly it is first necessary to upload the file to Carbide motion before copying and pasting the code into a preferred text editor.
+G-Code files will be posted with the file extension .nc. G-code files can be opened directly into a text editor if necessary to preview or edit the desired code or opened within HSM-Works to send to a machine.
+====Test Part====
+Training will focus the machine set up and use, not directly on the CAM and its accompanying software HSM Works. Before training, please take a look at and try your hand at creating the CAM for this [[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tIQK6wZ0pye2SwnreKSnFAT9z5EiAgyl?usp=sharing|| test part]]. The software you write will be used to demonstrate you competence on the machine. Feel free to reach out at any time to the Workshop Wizard running the training course if you are having trouble creating the part G-code. Use the .step file to create the CAM, reference CAM is stored in the .SLDPRT file under the HSM workspace.

 ====Safety Concerns====
   * Safety Glasses must be worn when machine is running
-  * The acrylic shield must be in place and lowered before starting a job
+  * The acrylic doors must be closed before starting a job
   * The spindle must be completely stopped before adjusting or removing work piece
   * After milling is completed, the work piece will have developed sharp burrs which must be removed with a hand file or sandpaper
 ====Safe Operating Procedures Review====
   - Design part using Solidworks or other CAD platform
-  - Using HSM Works or Carbide Create generate tool paths
+  - Using HSM Works generate tool paths
-    - Each different tool needs to be a separate job as only one tool can be loaded into the Carbide at a time
+    - Each different tool needs to be a separate job as only one tool can be loaded into the Shopbot at a time
     - Use 2D and 3D clearing and pocketing to remove the bulk of the material while using "stock to leave" to allow for a finishing pass
     - Simulate the toolpaths to verify that the tool will not crash and is cutting in the desired location
-  - Using the 17 and 11 mm wrenches loosen the collet nut to change out the tool or collet itself if switching shank diameter
+  - Using the open ended wrench on the spindle flats and the spanner on the collet nut to change out the tool or collet itself if switching shank diameter
-  - Home the machine and zero the tool using Carbide Motion under the "jog" heading using paper or a shim. DO NOT FORGET TO ADD OFFSET OF TOOL RADIUS AND SHIM THCINESS
+  - Home the machine and zero the tool using Shopbot 3, set part zero using the yellow keypad and slowly jogging the tool or edge finder to the part. DO NOT FORGET TO ADD OFFSET OF TOOL RADIUS AND SHIM THCINESS
