Master CNC Lathe programming
The easy way to learn G-Code

With multi-axis machining centres, the fun really starts. These machines are capable of making any part complete at high speed and high accuracy.

This Lathe course assumes you have a very basic understanding of turning and GCODE. If you know the basics such as rapid and feed rate movement commands then you are ready for this CNC course. If not then enroll in my foundation course here first.

Only have a 2 Axis CNC Lathe? Then this course is still relevant to you and still worth the money. I cover all operations that a 2 axis lathe use along with the multi-axis industrial stuff

2 Axis Turning

  • Program Layout
  • Roughing and Finishing Cycles
  • Centreline drilling and boring
  • Screw cutting
  • Parting off

    • Multi-axis machining

  • Live tooling
  • Sub-spindles
  • Cross-axis operations
  • Face operations
  • C Axis Positioning

    • In-Depth, Clear Explanation

    Each lesson clearly explains with diagrams and hand-outs. Not just a 'how-to' course but also inside tips and tricks used by tradesmen

    How this course will help
    Better Career Prospects

    Mastering G-Code as a CNC turner can open up more job opportunities, making you a more attractive candidate to employers. This can lead to higher salaries and better job positions.

    Improved Efficiency

    Learning G-Code can help you write more efficient programs, reducing machine downtime and increasing productivity. G-Code is often much quicker than CAD/CAM when programming lathes.

    Access to Resources

    Enrolling in the course provides access to valuable resources and reference material that you can refer to long after completing the training. Revist the content as often as you like, for life.

    Greater Job Security

    Having in-demand skills can provide greater job security as you become an invaluable asset to your company.

    Less crashes, more confidence

    Proper training helps reduce programming errors, leading to fewer machine crashes and can boost your confidence in handling complex machining tasks.

    Enhanced Creativity

    Understanding the intricacies of G-Code allows you to get creative with your machining processes, leading to innovative solutions and designs, quickly making you the rockstar of your shop.

    A t first, these impressive machines look daunting to learn to program. By breaking down each operation line by line, command by command they are not as complex as they seem.

    I explain each GCode that is used, every part of a cycle that is written and each movement that is made.

    As with all my courses, Lifetime updates are free!

    CNC machine training has never been so easy and affordable

    Free Lesson
    Finish boring operation

    In this lesson, we program a finish boring operation from start to finish.

    Using G-Code, the most common programming language for CNC Lathes, we write a full sequence explaining each G-Code and command as we go.

    The full course covers every operation you need to program your Lathe to make any part imaginable.
