I have built this course based on the skills and techniques I learnt as a manual lathe apprentice back in 1991.
You will learn everything I was taught as an aerospace apprentice and much more in this online mini-apprenticeship.
Over 4 years of machine training condensed into one online course.
This Lathe training course covers everything you need to be able to operate your Lathe with precision and confidence.
In this lesson, we look at the slideways of a metal work Lathe and how we can get accurate results on any machine.
