Basic algebra as applied to formula and arranging formula for use in calculating <br />shop measurements. The understanding of Algebra is the first key to learning and <br />using shop mathematics. <br />Plane geometry including the Pythagorean Theorem. Geometry is the second <br />key to success in machinist training. Geometry is the most important of the <br />math skills and is essential for reading and understanding shop drawings and <br />blueprints, <br />g. Trigonometry is the final key to success in being successful in the machine tool <br />industry. You will learn how to calculate angles, find the length of triangle sides <br />and do mathematics required to operate CNC machines. <br />Blueprint Reading (The language of the machine shops and manufacturing): <br />a. Basic types of blueprint lines and their applications <br />b. Setup and arrangement of the drawing views. <br />c. Finding missing views and lines. <br />d. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing for interpretation of drawing <br />dimensions. <br />e. Reading part and assembly drawings to be able to find dimensions required to <br />machine details and parts. <br />Shop Theory: <br />a. Safety First rules and requirements are stressed from the first day of class. You <br />are taught method of handling sharp tools, lifting material, working on drill <br />presses, operating lathes and milling machines. <br />b. Machine operation theory, which will include spindle speeds and machine feeds <br />for various materials. <br />c. Threading and the thread forms used in the manufacturing industries. <br />d. Tooling and Fixturing used in the machine shop. <br />e. Materials used in manufacturing and the machining characteristics of the <br />materials. <br />Registration information: Santa Fe Springs (Main Campus) 562.921.3722 - Visit our Web site: www.trainingeenters.org <br />
