Who it is for
New crews, owner-operators who learned on YouTube, college workshop staff and shops onboarding a second operator.
What it does on the floor
One full day at Jet Park or on your floor, for up to six people. The day covers safety and lockout, hold-downs, zeroing, running a real nest, care at shift close and how to write a handoff note.
It is hands-on. Bring scrap from your own shop and the files you actually cut. By the end of the day each person has run the machine, changed a bit, done a runout check and closed the cell properly.
Mistakes we see in the first month
- Sending one person to training and expecting them to teach everyone else perfectly.
- Training on a machine and material that look nothing like the shop's real work.
- No follow-up, so habits fade in two weeks.
South African conditions
Where the training links to a college or skills programme, ask your provider how hours can be recorded. CNCPME gives an attendance letter and the day agenda, but does not issue qualifications.
Space and power at a glance
On your floor, clear about 3 x 3 m around the machine for the group. Normal machine supply. Plan the day around any local load reduction times in your area.
Care at a glance
- During the day: safety brief first, every time
- Each trainee closes the cell once
- Notes go in one shared document, not on loose paper
Spares worth keeping close: not applicable, bring your own scrap material.
Before you email
Read the specs for the numbers, the layout notes for floor space and power, and the care routine for what the machine needs each week. Then email cnc@cncpme.co.za with your city, what you cut most, and a photo of the space.
