I’m not an experienced machinist. How do I learn more about cutting metal?

@NGrimberg - I'm actually not much into the machining end of things, more metal fabrication. But I do have some basic machining skills and smaller machines. When I was starting out I found this guy's site useful: https://littlemachineshop.com

Welcome aboard.

Haha re-read my post, It came off as abrupt, was actually trying to be sincere , is there a specific area of machining metal you have an interest in?

Well I was about to answer very similarly... might come across as abrupt but nothing wrong with getting to the point!

There a lot of knowledge and willingness to help here so don't be afraid to follow through with your inquiry.

NGrimberg, you could do worse than viewing all the course videos produced by the Youtube creator "THATLAZYMACHINIST" In the video below he describes his FREE course in machining:

I hope this helps!

I like this guy too. He's as handsome as me.

Without a doubt THATLAZYMACHINIST is great, very much a technical school teacher, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOfQ4Ufy4s7GJB3h9VieY1Q
Tubalcaine was a high school shop teacher https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKLIIdKEpjAnn8E76KP7sQg

Your third option 'the tool and die guy' has hundreds ov videos on his for-pay site. Reviews on it are very good.

OK I was wondering about that. People I follow have made reference to him but I was only looking at his YouTube vids which seemed pretty sparse. Maybe I didn't read the fine print & that was the re-direct teaser.

This is his paid site, right? Looks like a promo discount. Hmmm...

That's him. A little pricey for me, but maybe one day!

Tom is real skilled and shares what he knows.
