The lathe has always been the backbone of the machine shop.

This Manual Lathe Online Course offers a unique learning experience that combines the convenience of online education with the hands-on training of a mini apprenticeship. Designed for hobbyists and professionals alike, this course will empower you to master the art of metal turning on a lathe and unlock your potential for precision engineering.

Upon Completion, you will have all the skills and knowledge to make anything on a lathe.

Manual apprenticeships are unfortunately a thing of the past these days.

I have built this course based on the skills and techniques I learnt as a manual lathe apprentice back in 1991

You will learn everything I was taught as an aerospace apprentice and much more in this online mini-apprenticeship.

Over 4 years of machine training condensed into one online course.

This Lathe training course covers everything you need to be able to operate your Lathe with precision and confidence
