MACH 2002 Hosts Final of National CNC Competition
01 Mar 2002
The finals of the UK Skill CNC Milling and Turning Competition will be held next month on stand 4540 in Hall 4, at the MACH exhibition at the NEC, Birmingham. This national competition aims to raise the levels of skills within UK manufacturing, and will provide a spectacular metal cutting demonstration for exhibition visitors.
Initial judging rounds have already selected three milling and two turning finalists who will compete against each other for four days starting on 29 April. The winners will be announced at a presentation lunch on 3 May, the final day of MACH.
The competition is organised by MTTA, EMTA and METCOM, in conjunction with UK Skills, a charity promoting the development of worldclass vocational skills. The winners of the UK Skill CNC Competition have the exciting prospect of going on to represent the UK in the World Skills Competition ('Skill Olympics') taking place in Switzerland in 2003.
MACH, the long established, biennial, international exhibition of machine tools, tooling and manufacturing technology is joined by five other manufacturing-related exhibitions to provide a comprehensive showcase of suppliers to the UK and international manufacturing industries. Parts of the exhibition with a specific metal cutting focus are the Tooling Centre (including lubricants) in Hall 4, and the GTMA Toolmakers Village, also in Hall 4.
