Assuming you want to avoid material selection and operations like grinding...

I suppose you'd want to cover:

Tooling
Speed and feeds
Tool loading
Fixturing: machine vises, tool plates, tombstones, parallels
Machine specific functions: knees, power feeds, coolant, DRO
Touching off
Squaring stock
Conventional versus climb milling
Pocketing
Tapping (tap head)
Broaching
Indexing//4th axis

At NextFAB in Philadelphia your first project is to take a piece of scrap and make dice.
We have some notes from County College of Morris that basically are the only training material.

Rlowe61 I would love to see a website setup with a Wiki or Wordpress for this and showing each specific machine and work pieces.
