Real Workshop Experience. Practical Training.
Nine years on the shop floor — CNC machining, programming, tooling, and workshop supervision. We teach what actually matters in a working manufacturing environment.
Our Services
This text briefly introduces your main services to your visitors.
CNC Operator Training
Practical, hands-on training covering machine setup, tool changes, offsets, and control panel operation across Fanuc, Siemens, and Mazak platforms.
G & M Code Programming
Manual CNC programming for milling and turning. We teach using real part programs — not isolated code examples from a textbook.
Drawing Interpretation
Blueprint reading, GD&T, tolerances, and surface finish symbols. Essential for anyone making or inspecting parts to an engineering drawing.
Machining & Tooling Consultation
We look at what's actually happening on your machines — tooling selection, setup, cycle time, and breakdown diagnosis — and give you practical fixes.
Why Choose Us
9 Years on the Floor
Apprentice to workshop supervisor. Everything we teach comes from time spent actually machining parts — not from a training manual.
We Speak the Language
G41, G43, canned cycles, live tooling, sub-spindles — we know the terminology and the practical meaning behind every code and process.
Training That Sticks
Our programs use real drawings, real part programs, and real machines. Learners walk away able to do the work — not just pass a test.
Tailored to Your Shop
We adapt content to your machines, your controls, and your production environment. No generic off-the-shelf course that doesn’t fit your workflow.
About Our Company
CNC Guy was built on nine years of practical machining experience — from apprentice to workshop supervisor. The founder has worked on conventional lathes and mills, CNC machining centres, multi-axis machines, and has handled everything from tight-tolerance one-off parts to high-volume production runs.
The training and consulting services we offer come from that background. When we teach G-code, it’s because we’ve written and fixed hundreds of real programs. When we consult on tooling, it’s because we’ve broken tools, wasted material, and learned what actually works under production conditions.
We work with machine shops, fabricators, power utilities, and apprentices across South Africa — onsite or remotely, depending on what suits you.
