What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to operate a traditional engine lathe effectively. You will master selecting speeds, feeds, and depth of cut, securing and supporting shafts, minimising runout, sequencing operations, and achieving precise tolerances. Enhance surface quality, ready edges for welding, use optimal cutting parameters for medium carbon steel, and expertly manage safety, fault-finding, and quality checks.
