CAM Software Training
Master your specific CAM software with hands-on instruction covering toolpath optimization, fixture setup, and programming best practices that translate directly to improved machining results and fewer errors.
Master CAM software and CNC milling operations with hands-on training designed for your specific equipment and team. Sarkinen Calibrating delivers customized instruction that bridges the gap between software capabilities and real-world machining accuracy, helping Portland-area manufacturers reduce programming errors, optimize toolpaths, and maximize the precision potential of their calibrated machines.
Comprehensive training programs tailored to your equipment, software, and skill level to maximize machining accuracy and operational efficiency.
Master your specific CAM software with hands-on instruction covering toolpath optimization, fixture setup, and programming best practices that translate directly to improved machining results and fewer errors.
Learn proper machine setup, operation techniques, and maintenance procedures specific to your equipment. Training emphasizes how machine geometry and calibration directly impact part quality and production consistency.
Understand the relationship between machine calibration, programming decisions, and final part accuracy. Training covers how positioning errors, thermal effects, and geometry influence machining outcomes and quality control.
We begin by evaluating your specific CAM software, CNC machines, and current workflow to identify skill gaps and training priorities. This assessment includes reviewing your equipment capabilities, typical part complexity, and the experience level of operators and programmers to ensure training addresses real production challenges.
Manufacturing teams achieving measurable improvements in programming efficiency, setup time, and part quality through customized training.
"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..."

Training built on real machine operator experience and precision calibration expertise.
Founded by a former machine operator, our training addresses real production challenges rather than just theoretical concepts, ensuring practical value.
Training is customized to your exact CAM software, CNC machines, and typical part requirements for immediate application and maximum relevance.
Unique emphasis on how calibration and machine geometry affect programming decisions, helping Portland-area teams connect CAM software to precision outcomes.
Faster scheduling and follow-up support than out-of-area training providers, with deep understanding of Portland OR and SW Washington manufacturing operations.
Learning from decades of hands-on machining and calibration experience.
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.
While Sarkinen Calibrating doesn't use CompanyCam, our training documentation process is equally thorough. We provide detailed training materials, hands-on exercises, and reference guides specific to your equipment that participants can refer back to after sessions conclude, ensuring long-term knowledge retention.
