Operational overview of the Haas CNC vertical machining center.

Students view how the tool length offsets are set on the CNC Machine. They read a description of a method that uses a 2-inch gage block as a height reference.

The learner will understand the basics of machine turning including how a lathe works, the equipment used, and commonly used terms.

Learners examine the drawing symbols used for counterbore, countersink, spotface, radius, diameter, and depth. In the quiz that completes the activity, they associate these symbols with machining applications.
