Level up your training by adding tap testing.

Milling is the largest cutting segment accounting for 40.2% of all tools purchased. It also removes the most material and therefore has the largest impact on overall manufacturing productivity. It is the most difficult of all metalworking applications and is prone to chatter. 

If your school is utilizing the America's Cutting Edge (ACE) machinist training and bootcamps then our tap testing kits and software will supplement the “Introduction to Machining Dynamics”. Instead of using just the virtual examples in the ACE lessons, your students can train on the same system that they will use in industry. 

One of the most significant skill gap your students will face when entering a machine shop is the “black art” of selecting speeds and feeds. If they know how to tap test and utilize Dashboards they will overcome this gap and be able to perform setups themselves.

We provide online and in person training materials for your students and those from industry to gain a microcredential badge for both SpeedCast tap testing and Harmonizer. Combined with their ACE badge, future employers will be confident in hiring your graduates and upskilling their current associates at your school..

​There are over 2 Million high school seniors playing varsity sports each year. Only 5% of them will compete at a division 1 or 2 college next year and less than half of them will do so with any kind of scholarship.The rest have options that can include intercollegiate athletics. There are over 500 two year trade schools, community and junior colleges, all across America, that provide training for the skilled trades and compete in intercollegiate athletics. Our free tool will identify schools that provide the appropriate training and sports for students that fit this criteria.
