On-line CNC Classes
We've just updated all of
our on-line classes. They are no longer being
hosted by eLearningZoom.com. Instead, they are being hosted by
iSpringOnline.com. Most classes now include audio narrations and we've
added two new classes. A certificate of completion is still
included in the price. All have been developed and are facilitated by
industry-expert Mike Lynch.
Basic CNC Classes - two approaches
Which of the two approaches you choose will depend upon how much
previous shop (basic machining practice) experience you have.
FIRST APPROACH: If you have NO previous shop experience,
start with
- Machining Center Setup and Operation
($99.00 including certificate)
or
- Turning Center Setup and Operation
($99.00 including certificate)
- Learn what it takes to make setups and complete production runs!
These classes start with two lessons about basic machining practices as they
relate to the machine being covered by the class. We then address what it
takes to get a machine up and running as well as how to complete a production
run.
And follow up with
- Machining Center Programming
($119.00 including certificate)
or
- Turning Center Programming
($119.00 including certificate)
- Once you have completed a setup and operation class, or if
you are only interested in programming, these classes will teach you what it
takes to program a CNC machine using manual programming techniques (G code
level).
SECOND APPROACH: If you do have previous shop
experience, take one of these classes
- Machining Center Programming, Setup, and Operation
($199.00 including certificate)
or
- Turning Center
Programming, Setup, and Operation
($199.00 including certificate)
- Again, these classes assume you have experience with basic
machining practices related to the type of CNC machine you want to learn about.
We tackle all three tasks you must master in one class. We begin with
programming, but any time we come across a programming topic that relates to
setup and operation (like program zero, tool length compensation, cutter radius
compensation, etc.), we address it right away. We then address what it
takes to get a machine up and running - and keep it running during a production
run.
Advanced CNC Classes
We also offer classes to help CNC people that already have
experience working with CNC.
-
Parametric Programming
for CNC Machining and Turing Centers ($129.00
including certificate)
- Learn custom macro B, user task 2, and macro -- all from this comprehensive
course!
- Advanced CNC Techniques with Basic
Features ($129.00 including
certificate)
- Discover tricks and short-cuts that will reduce setup and cycle time,
shorten programs, improve your CNC environment, and in general, enhance your
understanding of CNC!
- Getting More From Your CNC Machines ($129.00 including certificate)
- Learn how to improve the utilization of your CNC machine tools!

Mike Lynch has been teaching
CNC-related courses and seminars for over twenty-five years. If you work around CNC
machines, you or someone you know has probably attended one of his excellent
presentations. Now Mike's courses are available on line . Just about
everything done in his face-to-face courses will be done in the on-line courses
- and you'll be able to attend from the comfort of your own home or office!
More general information:
A note about fire-walls:
These classes require that you download Adobe Acrobat files to your computer. This means your computer will have to allow
files to be received. Fire-walls can prevent file transfer. If your computer
has a fire-wall, as long as you have control of it you will be able to
enable the transfer of files (stop any blocking) while you are on the
iSpringOnline.com web site. But if you will be using a computer that is part of
a larger network (like in a public library), be sure the network allows
you to enable file transfer.
