Thanks Ynneb,
There's a guy in WA, Geoff Edwards, who makes a great CNC machining centre.

Geoff's machine is on most State's Education Contracts. He has done some great work with schools in SA and now WA.
Unfortunately in NSW the constraints on school budgets are supported by curriculum which "must be implemented with existing machinery" Many of us would like to be teaching CNC but can't access machines.
Big business has noticed this deficiency, and there are cases where corporate sponsorship will be able to provide the physical resources necessary to give future employees the basics.
