CNC traiinng - part time.

[lancon]

Morning all.

I've been working on 3 axis cnc machines now for the last eight or so years.
Recently I started watching youtube vids on 5 axis machines and decided that I need to make a move in that direction.
Its absolutely amazing what you can do with these machines.

I have thought myself Rhino, Rhinocam and Enroute, which means I am very proficient in 2 and 3D cutting.
From design to final product.

What I would like to know is, are there any companies / institutions in or around CT that offers part time courses in 5 axis machining and that are actually worth doing??

Do you want to be a operator, setter or programmer?

Eventually all three but programming will be a good start I think.

I wanted to do the same but decided against it due to financial reasons, operators are a dime a dozen rather go for programming but first get some operating & setting courses done but make sure its on modern machines, we run Haas Mill turns and a multi bed 5 axis mill, we struggled to find people proficient in them.

Go for Cad training, Master Cam etc then function specific courses, you shouldn't struggle to find some, just do a Google search.

Last time I checked Northlink College offered such courses, never really looked into what kinds though.
