Industrial Machine Tool Training Courses

TPC's Machine Tool training series will educate your machine shop trainees on how to use basic hand tools, ways to best to plan and set up machine work, and utilizing layouts. They'll also acquire the skills needed for true machine shop craftsmanship. The courses in the series present instruction in a slightly specialized format. All areas of instruction are divided into major sections, each beginning with a list of objectives the trainee will have achieved upon successful completion of that section. Numbered exercises appear in each section; almost every exercise presents a learning task that requires response from the trainee. Six books make up the complete training series.
