This page | This page details the training programme/ requirements for the [[Equipment/Colchester Master Lathe|metal lathe]]. Although incredibly rewarding and satisfying to use, the lathe and mill are complex tools and so require a more involved induction process than many of the other machines at the hackspace. | ||
The training is divided into a range of different topics/ modules, which are graded level 1 through to level 3. All LHS members will need to start with a level 1 induction, and can then train on additional skills/ topics from the level 2 or 3 series as they progress and become more experienced. Those who have prior experience will still need to attend a session on each skill they want to use, but these can be used as more of a quick recap session and a chance to demonstrate the existing skill (this will take less time, so we can cover multiple topics at once and speed things along) | The training is divided into a range of different topics/ modules, which are graded level 1 through to level 3.

Note - most of the videos above are from the Blondihacks 'lathe skills' video series. This whole series is filled with useful content and we would fully recommend watching the rest, although this is not compulsary for a level 1 training session. | Note - most of the videos above are from the Blondihacks 'lathe skills' video series.

The notes used for Toby's training sessions are available here - [[File:Toby's Lathe Training Notes r03.pdf| below]]. Other trainers will do something similar, but might not follow this exact plan | |||
