Description
This course is designed to prepare the student for entry-level skills in programming, setup, and
operation of CNC lathes. Programming examples will be covered using canned cycles, linear and
circular interpolation, tool nose radius compensation and progress to the utilization of bar feeders and
live tooling. Projects will be assigned and completed using Haas CNC Turning Centers. The format for
this class is a self-paced lab with a minimum allowable standard established.
