This class will cover the basic operational procedures of an engine lathe. We'll cover safety, work holding, tool selection, and calculation of cutting speeds. Attendance at both sessions is required.
Please note: this training has the prerequisite of the Metal Shop Training and therefore attendees will need to be approved by Generator to ensure they've previously taken the required training.
Greg spent 14 years working as a Linux jack of all trades for a SUNY campus and the University of Vermont before stumbling into the world of machining and manufacturing. Greg entered the realm of machining on manual machines as a means to produce custom tools for volunteer work in the Vermont rock climbing community. On the way he discovered a whole world of manufacturing technology that has captured his interest ever since. Greg is excited by the idea of applying his experience programming and working on complex IT systems to the modern computer aided manufacturing environment. He works as a developer for a manufacturing applications engineering group that specializes in developing post-processors and digital twins for complex CNC machine tools.
