Hi JS, Just noticed that in an earlier post you said that there are no apprentices trained on manual machines these days, all cnc, Well I beg to differ, because one of me brothers [who is a foreman turner ] at his employers all the apprentice turners and millers are grounded on manual machines first then move on to cnc 3/4/5 axis

All the manual machines are DSG, Bohringer, Cincinatti, Parkson , the cnc ones are a real Dolly mixture of , DMG Mori Seiki, Gurutzpe ,Hermle , Waldrich Siegen and WFL, They are used for making large, to very large, oilfield components. That concept might be a rarity now but thats how it is there , and they produce some cracking operators. Many have went on to start their own firms , so it does still happen.

cheers.
