Machinist hub:
machining & engineering guides
Your gateway to practical machining knowledge, engineering advice, apprenticeship guides and manufacturing careers.
Welcome to The Machinist Hub by Bates Manufacturing, a growing collection of practical guides, industry knowledge and resources created for apprentices, machinists and anyone looking to develop their engineering skills.
Whether you are taking your first steps into manufacturing, improving your workshop skills, or looking to understand the tools and techniques used every day by professional machinists, The Machinist Hub is here to help you build confidence and knowledge.
Manufacturing is built on skill, precision and experience. Our goal is to make that knowledge more accessible for the next generation of engineers.
New guides are released every Saturday. Check back regularly for practical machining knowledge, apprenticeship advice and new topics from the manufacturing industry.
