Machine Tool/CNC Theory and Lab II Part I

Catalog description

Part I of a two-part course that is a continuation of Machine Tool Theory and Lab I Part II. This course covers the purpose, setup and safe use of hand tools, manual machine tools and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines in the advanced phases of metal working. Advanced operation of lathes, drill presses, sawing, milling machines, surface grinders, and cylindrical grinders will be taught, along with demonstration of CNC machine tools. In addition, the student will learn the application of more complicated problems in math and trigonometry as used in industry. Lab sessions will provide opportunities for hands-on application of knowledge gained from theory lecture, discussion, and homework. Pre-requisite(s): MFTS 164 Machine Tool Theory and Lab I Part II or permission of department chair.
