CNC turning (basic)

Do you work in metal and want to learn more about CNC turning? Then choose this 5-day course.

In this practical course, you'll learn the fundamentals of the trade. You'll learn how a CNC machine works, how to position a workpiece in the machine, and how a CNC program is structured. You'll also learn how to program a machine using ISO code.

Because we work in small groups, you'll receive plenty of personal attention and have plenty of opportunity to ask questions. After 5 days of training, you'll be able to independently machine a workpiece on a CNC machine.

This course can serve as preparation for the training CNC turning or milling (continued).
