HOW CHIRON GROUP IS BUILDING AMERICA'S FUTURE WORKFORCE
With the skilled labor shortage, many are trying to take steps to onboard the next generation of machinists — and few are paving the way like the CHIRON Group. See where they assemble their high-production machines and educate machinists in their world-renowned program.
BUILDING PROGRAM HEADER ON A CNC LATHE USING G-CODE
While there's no single best way to put together the header part of CNC lathe programs, using the same style across the shop for all programmers can help avoid confusion and make it easier to work together. Marc from G-Code Tutor is here to explain it in further detail.
Have you ever tried making suggestions at the shop to improve productivity and make life easier for everyone, only to get huge resistance from your co-workers or management? In this episode of Practical Machinist’s Machine Shop Talk, Ian Sandusky is back to help a Practical Machinist forum member on how to deal with the issue.
Have you ever wanted to start a shop but felt like you lacked the necessary technical knowledge? Come take a tour of Protodyne Manufacturing in North Carolina and visit the self-taught machinist Kyle Hill, whose specialties center around mechanical development and design, multi-axis CNC machining, and fabricating!
HOW TO WRITE A FINISHING SEQUENCE ON A CNC LATHE USING G-CODE
Marc from G-Code Tutor demonstrates how he writes the G-Code for the finishing operation, explaining each G-Code command and guiding us step by step through writing this sequence line by line. This makes it quick and easy if we utilize a subroutine when programming the roughing operation.
A broken tap in the workpiece doesn't have to mean the part is scrapped! These handy tap extractors can help remove broken taps quickly and easily, saving time, and most importantly, your sanity.
