You Are Invited to Attend a FREE Online Webcast:
Join us this Thursday, April 20th at 2:00 PM EDT for an online
seminar Tool Shop Optimization: Why Technology Is Not Enough.
The tooling industry continues to experience mounting global
competition, placing ongoing business and operational challenges on tool shops.
When faced with these challenges, a common reaction is to grab for the most
immediate solution – be it purchasing a new machine, extending business hours,
outsourcing, or adding a new, detached software solution. Despite significant
investment in time and money, many of these solutions fail to address the
problems at hand, leaving tool shop executives in search for answers.
As an added bonus for attending this event, you will receive a free copy of the
new white paper "Tool Shop Optimizations: Why Technology Is Not Enough."
In addition, your company will be entered into a drawing to receive a free
evaluation of your tool shop processing. This free consultation will include
detailed reports and performance benchmarks.
Featured Keynote Speakers:
Register now for a free online
seminar to address why technology is not enough for tool shop optimization, and
to cover an 8-step framework for optimizing tool shop processes.
Topic: Tool Shop Optimization: Why Technology Is Not Enough.
Date: Thursday, April 20th, 2006
Time: 11 am PDT / 2 pm EDT / 6 pm GMT

University Class Update |
Tooling
University now offers a complete sequence of classes on the GE Fanuc control.
These classes are divided between the CNC lathe and mill. Both sequences use
the 0-C control as the basis for screenshots and step-by-step instructions (0M
version for the mill, and the 0T version for the lathe).
By taking these classes, students first learn how to power up, home the
machine, and enter offsets. More difficult classes focus on activating and
executing programs0612, adding programs from various storage methods, and using
the editing features of the control.

| New Launch of
Tooling University CNC Simulators |
The GE Fanuc and HAAS classes will incorporate our newest efforts toward
interactive learning. Soon, we will be adding an interactive simulation to each
CNC control class that allows students to practice and verify step-by-step
instructions. Each simulation will include virtual controls, with an
interactive panel that allows students to "click through" the various
activities. The simulator then verifies that the correct steps have been
executed.
Contact a Tooling University salesperson to see the latest training tools that
we offer.

Machinist Calculator (MC-20) |
 The
easy-to-use
MC-20 Machinist Calculator is
a compact, hand-held device programmed with built-in formulas making it easy
and quick for machinists to establish speeds, feeds and time without the
guesswork or clumsy conversion charts.
Pressing any one of the five Function keys — Revolutions Per Minute (RPM),
Surface Feet Per Minute (SFM), Inches Per Minute (IPM), Feed Per Tooth (FPT) or
Cut Time (CT) — activates a built-in prompter that takes the user through a
calculation step-by-step.
This
Machinist Calculator comes
with a User’s Guide, and other features include a Conversion Center Function, a
Stop-Watch/Timer Function, and a Standard Math Calculator. The MC-20
Machinist Calculator is
useful for Machinists, Programmers, Inspectors, Estimators, Supervisors and
Students. A protective cover is included.
