About this Class

• Drill presses

Details

• This is a companion class to Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 2, which may be taken before or after this class.
  
• To use the shop, you also need to attend the free, one-hour Orientation to the Woodshop.
• Wear safety glasses and closed-toe shoes, tie back long hair, and avoid loose-fitting clothing and jewelry. We recommend bringing your own safety glasses.
