This course will help you master what it takes to setup and run a CNC machining center.  We begin in a basic manner - assuming you have no previous experience in a machine shop.  We even provide information about the basic machining practices, a topic often set as a prerequisite to learning CNC.  We then dig deep - addressing all topics you must understand in order to setup and run a machine.

There are four Key Concepts that are further divided into twelve lessons:

Get ready to learn about CNC machining centers

• Lesson One: Basic machining practices required for machining centers

• Lesson Two: What does a CNC machining center do?

Know your machine from a setup person’s or operator’s viewpoint

• Lesson Three: General flow of CNC process

• Lesson Four: Machine configurations

• Lesson Five: Understanding the control panels

• Lesson Six: Important procedures needed to run the machine

Know the three compensation types

• Lesson Seven: Understanding compensation

• Lesson Nine: Tool length compensation

• Lesson Ten: Cutter radius compensation

Master the tasks to run a CNC machining center

• Lesson Eleven: Tasks related to making setups

• Lesson Twelve: Tasks related to completing a production run

Each lesson includes a presentation, reading material (a portion of the manual), and a test that will be graded.  If you have questions during a lesson, answers are just an email away.

When you complete this class, you'll know what it takes to setup and run a CNC machining center.  While you will still need hands-on practice with an actual machine (practice you'll get from your employer), you will understand the concepts needed to setup and run a machine.
