Tools for Teaching Job Ready Skills!

Funded Nov 26, 2019

Because of your support, we now have an added oppertunity for my students to learn hands on skills and to create using a quality machine. From unboxing, to working with our industry mentor in setting it up, to the first turns with material, students have enjoyed learning and fully utilizing our new lathe.

First our robotics students, with our industry mentor, learned the safe operation of the lathe, and then went on learn how we can use the lathe to precision trim axels to fit into bearings and how to create shafts with notches for lock rings.

More recently, our engineering students have used the lathe to help make their designs a reality. Moving from CAD to product using PVC and the material. Students are exited to use the lathe and learn more about its operation and capabilities.

Again, we want to thank you so much as this nice piece of machinery will be a cornerstone in the foundation of our school's nascent manufacturing and engineering programs. It is great pleasure to see students' eyes light up when they are able to learn, understand and use the lathe to create.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Goude
