CNC setup represents the second level in the CNC suite of programs. If you have a certificate as an operator, or are able to demonstrate competency in that area, you’re ready for the CNC Setup Certificate. Our onsite machine shop is the hands-on classroom for instruction in setting up CNC lathes and mills and proving out programs. You’ll set up, run, and inspect simple parts, perform necessary adjustments to the machines to achieve tolerances, and document your results. In addition to hands-on work in the shop, you’ll have assignments to complete on your own.

*Please note that the delivery method for fall courses may change as the COVID-19 situation unfolds. Our goal is to ensure that teaching and learning happens in a safe environment. We will communicate updates as quickly as possible.
