Fundamentals of CNC Machining

October 2017 to 2018

Section 1: Beginning Machining (5 sessions)

In the first sessions, participants will focus on machine shop safety and discussion will center on proper usage and care of conventional machinery. Participants will learn about the use of measuring tools used in the machine shop, including simple but defining projects using horizontal and vertical bandsaws, manual lathes, mills, drilling, and tapping. Participants will also practice defining feed and speed, as well as how to arrive at the proper thought process to achieve accurate cutting conditions. Light descriptions of tooling and their uses and chip formation will be covered.

Highlights:

  • Metal cutting (sawing horizontal/vertical)
  • Manual lathe and mill operation
  • Shop measuring practices
  • Tool geometry and uses

Section 2: Basic CNC Lathe Programming and Machining (5 sessions)

Upon learning the fundamentals of a machine shop, participants will learn about tooling, how to setup tool and work offsets and what they mean to a program, along with beginning to form a functional CNC lathe program based off the Fanuc programming lathe as it relates to Haas machine tools.

Highlights:

  • CNC lathe tooling
  • CNC lathe work and tool off
  • sets CNC lathe programming basics
  • Lathe G and M code

Section 3: Basic CNC Mill Programming and Machining (5 sessions)

These sessions will cover the basics of 3-axis mill programming and builds off the skills learned in the CNC lathe sessions. Participants will learn how offsets work and how that changes the way the machine is programmed. This section also includes Fanuc programming as it relates to Haas machine tools.

Highlights:

  • CNC mill tooling
  • CNC mill work and tool offsets
  • CNC mill programming basics
  • Mill G and M code
  • Canned cycles
