Tooling University introduces
new tools for companies, individuals, and schools that follow NIMS Standards.
Tooling University now offers new NIMS-specific features for
administrators. Now administrators can automatically add class lists to the
student schedules that are directly mapped to specific NIMS standards.
Administrators can also run reports that track student progress along NIMS
training-related material. For students, we added transcript options that allow
students to check their progress toward NIMS credentialing.
What Is NIMS? The National Institute for Metalworking Skills
(NIMS) is the nation's only ANSI-accredited developer of precision
manufacturing skill standards and competency assessments. NIMS certifies
individual skills against standards and accredits programs that meet its
quality requirements. NIMS stakeholders represent over 6,000 American
companies.

¿Dónde está Tooling University en
español?
It's now located in a new section of our web site!
For a number of years, we've offered a set of our core classes translated into
Spanish. However, we've recently ramped up our translation efforts by offering
our classes in a completely new Spanish interface, with fully translated
navigation and Student Center pages. You can view our new Spanish site at
www.toolingu.com/spanish. We're also rapidly developing new
Spanish translations in all our subject areas.
Contact us at 866-706-8665 with any questions
about our new Spanish offerings.
Use 2-4-6 blocks to support long
parts in a milling machine. (See example photo)
  2-4-6
blocks are relatively inexpensive and have a variety of uses in a machine shop.
They work great for quickly supporting and aligning long parts in a milling
machine vise.
Their heights allow long parts to clear the bottom of the vise yet still be
held with the vise.
