*Required Prerequisite class: Shop Math and Blueprint Reading

This course will give any individual interested in Computer Numerical Controls (CNC) or currently employed machine operators the knowledge needed to confidently and safely load, run, and monitor CNC programs.

Machined product components play a critical role in today's world, and society could not function without them. That's why setting up and programming the machines responsible for producing these components requires skill, precision, and extreme attention to detail.

Our CNC program is an intensive, 6-week class (24 hours), where you will learn:
*to interpret geometric dimensions and tolerances
*the programming, setup, operation, and disassembly of CNC lathes and mills
*the aligning, securing, and adjusting of work pieces and cutting tools
*to monitor machine movement and speed for precision within spec
*to examine completed products for defect and conduct product testing
*best practices, safety, and job planning

Materials and safety glasses are provided. Long pants and close-toed shoes are required at every class.

*Long pants and closed-toe shoes required at every class.

This course is designed to develop skills required for CNC operators in the machining industry. The curriculum covers all aspects of CNC manufacturing at the basic level. During the course, students will be exposed to shop equipment and the shop environment, applying what they learn. Lecture is integrated with hands-on lessons in the shop to develop a greater understanding of CNC machining. Successful participants will earn a National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) cerification.
