Cool article on how Hypertherm set up a paid short term training program to train its CNC machinists so they could keep their manufacturing operations in the US. Having recently done two interviews for technicians which subsequently left me weeping for the future, this was a nice story to read.

It's about time. We need a lot more companies to see the value in training the people they already have instead of starting from scratch in other countries just to save a few bucks.

Thanks for sharing.

Have a Great Day, Brent

I've sent three Hypertherm plasma cutters back for warranty repairs, I've owned their product for five years now and have never had a machine get out of warranty without something happening. I chalk it up to bad luck, but I would absolutely buy their stuff again and recommend it to anyone. And not just because they cut well
