Sandvik Coromant has launched online application training to share knowledge and best practices for metal-cutting operations.

The eight-part programme has been released online and is accessible via the Sandvik Coromant website. Embarking on the programme, customers will develop theoretical and application-based knowledge in turning, milling, drilling and threading for both indexable and solid-carbide tools.
Communicated through pre-recorded presentations, the online training courses will provide customers with insights into the best practice strategies for machining. The programme includes specialist topic areas such as solid-carbide tools for drilling, milling and tapping, which is led by expert, Ben Lodge, solid round tools product specialist for north Europe at Sandvik Coromant. During the sessions, customers will learn the fundamentals for successful metal cutting, including the importance of process control and developing the correct machine set up.
A module on indexable drilling is led by Mikael Carlsson, indexable drilling and boring specialist for north Europe. Here, learners will develop an understanding of the vital process considerations for drilling deep holes and how to optimise chip formation for different drills and workpiece materials. A separate module on indexable milling is hosted by Barry Cahoon, indexable milling specialist for north Europe.
Lee Kendall, turning product specialist for north Europe, delivers modules on parting and grooving, thread turning and general turning, where learners can expect to develop new knowledge of different insert geometries and grades.
Each training module is approximately 30-minutes in length. As pre-recorded courses, the modules can be viewed at any time, allowing customers to complete the programme at their own pace.
