You are invited to attend a Tooling U Webinar on Lean Manufacturing!

Join us next Thursday, March 31st at 1 PM EST for an online seminar on new classes at Tooling University. This seminar features a presentation about many of our most recently launched classes on Lean Manufacturing.


The Lean Manufacturing Webinar will be conducted by Ed Kwiatkowski, Senior Vice President of the Cleveland Advanced Manufacturing Program (CAMP).

In 1989, CAMP was chosen to operate the Great Lakes Manufacturing Technology Center, one of the first three Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) centers in the United States. CAMP is a non-profit, professional organization that delivers expert hands-on engineering, business, and training services to manufacturers.

If your company is just beginning to think in terms of Lean, or even if you have implemented Lean processes and would like to expand your knowledge of Lean, please join us for this approximately hour-long presentation.

Tip of the Month:
Keep your shop stones clean and flat. (See example photo below)

Machine Shop Trade Secrets: A Guide to Manufacturing Machine Shop PracticesKeep your shop stones clean and flat. Sand your stones over a sheet of 80 or 100 grit sandpaper. Silicon carbide sandpaper works better for abrading and dressing stones than aluminum oxide paper because silicon carbide crystals are harder.
