First let me say hello & I'm glad I found this site. I think I am about to take some machining classes when the Fall semester opens in a few weeks. I have talked to my advisor and I have 2 options:
option 1: start with the class Machining Technology 1. course description: introduces machining operations as they relate to the metalworking industry. Topics- shop safety, measuring tools, lathes, saws, milling machines, grinding machines & layout instruments.
option 2: start with Basic Computer Numerical Control. course description: introduces the concepts & capabilities CNC machine tools. Topics- setup, operation, & basic applications.
I believe option 1 will give me a better "foundation" in machining but, I am not shure if I can work it out with my current schedule (day classes vs. night classes).
any advice on which option would be better to take will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Junior
