Hi

i am new to model engineering and would love to be able to go to a night school class to learn how to opperate a lathe and other model engineering skills. Does anybody know of anywhere that does it. I live in South Birmingham.

Ian,

 

No help to you I’m afraid but for the benefit of others Eastleigh College in Hampshire occaisionally run th oned on Monday Eves. They need a minimum of 10 students currently there are 13 (I think)of us) John the tutor is very amenable and is happy to let more experienced ( you have to demonstrate competence&nbsp work on thier own projects.

 

They have 3 vertical mills,  6 ? (at least) 6″ centre lathes a surface grinder, cylindrical grinder and the usual surface tables etc. They can also do a bit of welding – MIG I think.

They offer this for the autumn, winter & spring terms. I started last autumn but the course was not run again until this autumn.

I don’t know about Birmingham either, but I would have thought that a good place to find out was the Birmingham Society of Model Engineers. I would be very surprised if one of their members didn’t know what was available locally.
