Webinar!
You're invited to attend a Tooling U
Webinar held on Thursday, February 3rd at 10:30 AM (EST).
What in the world is a Webinar? Quite simply, it’s a
seminar held online. Tooling U is conducting Webinars on a regular basis this
year so you can become more familiar with online learning. The Webinars will
also keep you updated on the many classes and features we are continually
adding to Tooling U. The Webinar format is an outstanding way to introduce new
functionality in our Student Center and Administration Center.
The first Webinar titled "Why e-Learning?" will be held at 10:30 AM (EST) on
Thursday, February 3rd. To register, go here:
www.toolingu.com/webinar.
We will continue to announce the topics of future Webinars through this
e-Newsletter. If you have a suggestion for us, please let us know in the
“Comments” section when you register.
Math Problems
In addition to pre-tests and final exams, all Tooling U Math classes now
include practice quizzes. There are two practice quizzes in each Math class.
The first quiz appears about halfway through the class; the other quiz appears
near the end of the class. Each quiz covers material in the class that precedes
the quiz.
The practice quizzes are 5 questions each. Unlike our pre-tests and final
exams, students are able to see results immediately after answering a quiz
question. They can also close out of the quiz at any time to go back to their
lessons.
Now your students will enjoy added fun and learning in the Tooling U Math
classes.

Make a center punch
to last a lifetime. (See example photo below)
  Start
with an old 3/8" three or four flute tap. Grind the long taper at five degrees
per side. (ten degrees included angle) Grind the tip angle at thirty degrees
per side or your preference. These center punches are compact, durable and have
a great "feel."

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
