For a number of years we have been asked to provide an introductory course for small project metal machining for engineers, so here it is.
An intensive course, run for two days with a maximum of 4 students and will introduce the student to the techniques required for an engineer's mill. Aimed at the complete beginner, the course will provide a step by step guide of how to set up and use the machine safely and constructively.

The introduction to milling option will cover:
- How and why to vary mill speeds
- Correct feed speeds to suit materials
- How to fix and hold work on the mill table using vices and clamps
- Different machining methods to include end milling, slot cutting, face cutting
