CNC Machining Center Setup and Operation The primary goal of this course is to help you learn enough about CNC machining center setup and operation 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 machining 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.
