CMM Operator Training

How do you train your operators? Any advise is welcome. Don't be a turd.

We have been intermittently slow at work so I have been building basically a curriculum to train new operators (we are expecting to hire people at the beginning of the year).

My "Curriculum" is basically just notes on how to run the CMM, but with some pictures and a few step by step guides. I have used one of my hand mic guys as a path finder/Guiney pig and it seems like every time I get done with a training section there are so many things that I have left out that he immediately stumbles over.

Idk I am pretty good at explaining things in person but putting them down on paper is a bit harder.

  • Yeah my #1 operator right now just turned 65. He is actually very ambitious to learn and has started programming within the last ~3 months. I think he is a pretty rare occurrence.

    I never want to deny someone information so if he wants to and is willing to learn I will train him until he decides to retire but it is defiantly disheartening to know that eventually he will leave and all that training will have been a loss.

    He says he wants to work another 5 years so honestly it is probably for the best. If I had an 18 year old in here to train he would probably move on to a new job within 2 years of training for more money. Maybe it is better this way.
