Master precision CNC machining with comprehensive training that combines advanced operation techniques with calibration fundamentals. This hands-on course teaches you to optimize machine accuracy, interpret diagnostic data, and implement maintenance strategies that eliminate costly errors. Whether you're looking to enhance your team's capabilities or validate machine performance in-house, our training delivers practical skills rooted in real-world manufacturing experience.
Comprehensive training programs designed to elevate your team's technical expertise in machine operation, calibration systems, and accuracy optimization.
Hands-on instruction covering CAM programming, machine setup, and operation best practices. Learn how machine geometry and calibration directly impact part quality while developing skills tailored to your specific equipment and production requirements.
Master Renishaw's Laser Interferometer system with practical training in setup, data collection, and results interpretation. Gain the confidence to perform NIST-traceable linear calibration measurements and identify positioning accuracy issues independently.
Learn to operate Renishaw's QC20-W Ballbar for rapid machine health diagnostics. Training covers test setup, circular interpolation analysis, and identification of backlash, servo issues, and squareness problems for proactive maintenance planning.
We begin by evaluating your team's current capabilities and understanding your specific equipment and production challenges. This assessment allows us to tailor the curriculum to your actual machines, software platforms, and operational goals, ensuring every minute of training delivers maximum value for your facility.
Manufacturing professionals trust our training to build capabilities that reduce errors and improve machine performance.
"I have worked with Mr Sarkinen on a job in Portland He is a Highly Skilled, Knowledgable Professional. I would definitely recomend him for all your Machine Tool Calibration Metrics. Sincerely Curtis Page Naughtellis CNC Service"
"This guy knows his stuff. Would definately recommend! Friendly good people!"
"As plant manager at Triad, I am always looking for ways of testing and measuring the condition of our large machines. Our outside repair tech suggested that I have Sarkinen Calibrating run their Ball Bar Test on all of our machines to show if we had any critical wear issues..."

Founder
Larry's journey from machine operator to calibration service founder gives him a unique perspective that goes far beyond equipment maintenance. Having operated CNC machines firsthand, he understands the real-world production challenges manufacturers face daily—the frustration of unexpected downtime, the cost of scrap from axis errors, and the pressure to maintain tight tolerances. This operator-level experience drives his approach to calibration: it's not just about verifying numbers, it's about delivering solutions that genuinely increase production quality and efficiency. Larry built Sarkinen Calibrating on the principle that precision calibration should eliminate problems before they disrupt operations, providing manufacturers with the confidence that their equipment will perform exactly as promised. His hands-on background means he approaches every calibration with practical insight into how machine accuracy directly impacts your production floor, helping you achieve highly predictable operation with minimal disruption.
An advanced CNC course focuses on precision machine operation, accuracy verification, and calibration techniques beyond basic programming. Our training covers CAM software mastery, laser interferometer operation, ballbar diagnostics, and interpretation of measurement data to optimize machine performance and prevent quality issues.
