please tell him - "Dr. Nick" said hello!
Thanks....

Thanks tobyaxis, I got it! Just as I thought, the .00005 is for inspection equipment accuracy/calibration rather than for measuring the print tolerance of .00005, otherwise we would need to use a...

:confused:Okay, so the mentioned .00005” applies to the inspection equipment capacity/calibration rather than to the stated tolerance on the print, right? As far as the inexperienced help go, that is...

Thanks neilw20, but if .00005" is used for engraving, but then, how FLAT is surface required to be? is this possible in a job shop environment (just curious)?

Hi Dave,

Check with Scot Robe at Ventura College (Machine Tool Tech. Dept.), he may lead you to the right source.

Where do you use it?

Hi Metalmatic,

Glad to hear you're still in the program. As for the CNC class, you may want to check this one out - http://www.cncworkshop.com/workshopinfo.htm. I've been using this one, the...

Are there any m/s programs still around in California H.S.?

Just came across your thread, and am wondering if you were still in the m/s training going, or working as a 'machinist' somewhere?

[QUOTE=cncprofessor;697931]

The simple remedy to all of this is to challenge the instructional staff to teach what our mfg. industry must have in today’s graduates rather than what has been done...

Yep, I couldn't agree more with all the competencies a "journeyman" machinist ought to have, but lets face the reality of the 20's generation; four years (10,000 hrs.) of training is unlikely (for...

So true, but going back to the "training" process, it is precisely because of that, or how much there is to be learned today even at the basic machining level (by “basic” I don’t mean to push buttons...

After having read all of the pages of this thread, perhaps the following copy/paste excerpt from my previos thread might shade some light why couple of semesters, or even an AAS degre in maching,...

I served an apprenticeship program back in Europe (1954-57) as a "Machinist/Toolmaker". At the end , I passed my "journeyman" level dploma/certificate.

Hello there jovus,

Backa Palanka, ha? It was a beautiful town (the last time I was there almost...., well, lets just say a long, looooong time ago). Yes, I was born and raised around Kikinda, and...

I am sorry to hear that; though, it's not much better on this side iether.

Just out of curiosity, if you know what percentage of the conventional (standard) vs. CNC machine tools is still being...

Just wanted to say "Hi" to you as well!
How's machining business doing in Cyprus?

Excuse my curiosity, but what part of Serbia are you from?

Hi Metalmatic,

How’s your second week in CNC class going? Hope you’ll find interesting enough to stick around, though, it could be a little overwhelming at the beginning. However, in due time, I...

For CNC Lathe general info you may find helpful this link; http://www.haascnc.com/training/LatheProgram_PDF/xlwb.pdf

What kind of lathe, conventional, CNC?

In the absence of the suggested ME Consultant Pro software (worth every penny), for whatever it’s worth, try the following formulas for the milling operation.
Hope it helps!

I am not quite sure what is meant by "the least amount of tolerance" (?!). For example if the tolerance is +/- .010” the applicant “A” finishes three parts in a shorter time then applicant “B” but...

Geof,

Like in Mike’s case, there were others who desired the same thing (some affirmation of their body of knowledge of the machining principles) whether they were self taught or they were on the...
