Machining
During the two years of studies the boys are trained in the areas of milling, lathe, grinding and drilling to become a machinist. They also learn basic technical drawing. They can expose themselves to production through some incoming customer jobs. They receive additional training with CNC (Computer Numbering Control) and EDM (Electrical Discharge Machine).
The staffs are involved in the different operations of the workshop but each is specialized in a particular area (1st Year, 2nd Year, CNC, drawing milling, lathe).
Previously there were three certificates for each category: H-010 (milling), H-011 (lathe) and H-012 (grinding). Now, they combine to become one certificate for General Machinist. The duration is still two years.
We have received Mastercam, a software for designing and CNC programming. The Petronas Twin Towers (10 feet high) built for Bosch, using spark plugs, is a combined project of Welding and Machining Departments and is now in the Malaysian Book of Records.
