Machining at UC Berkeley (2025 and onwards)
I have finished my training on the manual mill and lathe in the Physics student machine shop, and look forward to starting more projects soon.
Machining in the SCIPP machine shop (2023-2024)
I was trained on the Bridgeport manual mill, in the SCIPP machine shop, during my post-bac position at SCIPP. I would have started sooner, but there was something about undergraduates using dangerous machinery. I was taught machining by Forest Martinez-McKinney, an ATLAS strips guy. He's great, and I appreciate the knowledge he's shared with me.
Forest also started to train me on the lathe. I have lots left to learn with both machines.
