After many years of headaches and dumming down my programs, the big bosses have decided to let me train the machine operators. Some or most of these guys are green as can be. Some came from Walmart etc, you get the picture. I will have different levels of triaining as that some people know more than others. I will be teaching only the "G and M" codes that we use here in house. They will be learning what and how to do work and tool offsets and basic reading of programs. After almost 30 years of machining I'm sure there are things I will overlook. I will be showing them the difference between a dull and sharp cutter etc. I would like to teach them what dull and sharp tools sound like but how to do this and how much time would it take to do this? I am looking for input from people who have or are doing this in the "real" world. I will be doing this in both the classroom and at the machine.
TIA
