Machine Shop Maths
Essential Mathematics for Machinists
All lessons are taught in Marc's familiar, easy-to-follow style in both imperial and metric.
This essential maths course will bring you up to speed on the math subjects you need to know to work in a machine shop.
Maths aimed at shop floor engineers and not mathematicians.
Machine shop maths is often hard to learn, but this course makes it easy. Everything is explained in detail without going deep into the theories of why.
Plotting points with G-Code, building CAD models, working at the machine and measuring parts. This course will help in all aspects of your machining career.
Maths was always Marc's weakness when he was a young aerospace apprentice.
An old training instructor sat down with him over a few hours and explained things much better than anyone at the tech college could. His style of teaching was much easier to understand and everything just clicked and made sense.
During this course, Marc explains everything in the same easy-to-follow style to make learning machine shop maths a breeze.

If you are writing G-Code by hand, Using CAD/CAM or running a manual machine, without knowing how to calculate speeds and feeds you will never achieve that perfect surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
This section of the machine shop maths course will teach you how to nail that perfect finish with both high-speed steel (HSS) tooling and carbide.
As machinists, we need to be able to work out angles and lengths in our programs and measurements. Often we find ourselves needing to use trigonometry to be able to complete our tasks. Being able to solve triangles using trig is a big part of our day-to-day life. If you are writing G-Code by hand, Using CAD/CAM or running a manual machine, without knowing trigonometry you will always be at a disadvantage.
This affordable maths course is here to help. you will master the art of trigonometry calculations in one hour!
Equations are often confusing to learn how to transpose. In the machine shop we have to rearrange the formulas often. In this section of the course, we cover all the information you need to confidently rearrange equations to make any part the subject without going too deep in to the theory so that it is easy to learn.
If you are writing G-Code by hand, Using CAD/CAM or running a manual machine, being able to transpose equations is part of our job that machinists often struggle with.
Often, our working drawings will not show each point we need to plot to write a G-Code or a CAD/CAM program.
By having a good understanding of geometry, we can quickly see how to divide up our drawing into shapes to solve each point mathematically.
This section of the machine shop maths course will teach you how to work with the theory of geometry to find any point on our drawing to enable us to quickly solve any positional unknowns. Using geometry alongside trigonometry and transposition of equations will make you a better machinist.
If you are used to working in metric, often our knowledge of fractions is lacking.
Understanding how to rearrange formulas requires good knowledge of working with fractions. This section of the maths course will teach you how to add, subtract, Multiply and divide fractions

Need to rearrange a speeds and feeds formula to find an unknown value? This free lesson will show you how it's done.
The first lesson from the transposition of equations section of the machine shop maths course shows the basics of how we can solve an unknown in a formula. As the course progresses you will have a full understanding of how to transpose larger, more complex equations.
