Hello. I'm currently wondering if there are any CNC training programs or CNC experts on Long Island willing to train newcomers into CNC. like myself??? I'm have experience on conventional Lathe and Milling mcahining, but little to very minimal experience on both CNC Mills, Machining Centers or Lathes.

Not sure where you are starting from or how far you want to go, but I just attended a conference at Suffolk Community College. They are starting up a new manufacturing technology program at their Brentwood campus.

The conference I attended was for local high school technology teachers looking to partner with the college. I have very little CNC experience, but enough that we have been able to machine a few parts for our FIRST Robotics team.

If there is anything i can help out with let me know. Personally I'm still looking for more training as well, and I plan on taking the Suffolk manufacturing courses either this summer or in the fall.

Do you know of any other CNC programs other that the Suffolk Community one???

nope, that is the only one i know of. SUNY Farmingdale has a pretty big engineering program, maybe they have some machining classes.
