Online Class: CNC Turning Center Setup and Operation
The primary goal of this course is to help you learn enough about CNC turning center setup and operation so that you can secure an entry level position with a CNC-using company. If you're already working for a CNC using company, the secondary goal is to increase your level of knowledge about CNC turning center usage. If you're currently working as a CNC operator (not setting up machines), this course will show you what it takes to step into a setup person's position.

Course Description
This class will present the concepts related to turning center setup and operation. CNC turning centers are among the most popular metal-cutting machine tools in use today. Most companies that manufactures any metal products have more than one - and is constantly searching for qualified people to run them. To fully master the use of a CNC turning center, a person must become proficient in three distinct skills - programming, setup, and completing production runs. This class addresses two of the three; setting up a machining center and how to complete a production run (another class is available for helping you learn CNC turning center programming).
