Allied Maxcut's Revolution drill and Core Drill provide high metal removal rates and users can alter the drills' cutting diameters for holes up to 143mm diameter.
In addition, the centre has three separate lecture and syndicate rooms for the theoretical aspects of tooling and production engineering, as well as a relaxation area for informal discussions.
Managing director, Rod Crawford explained: "This is a significant and very worthwhile investment for us as it's vital that production engineers, distributors and sales people are fully conversant with our high performance tooling and how to optimise the benefits they deliver in terms of productivity, tool life and manufacturing cost.
The new facility also allows us to launch and demonstrate new products to distributors and sales personnel so they can provide detailed advice and support to their customers from day one." He added: "The level of interest we've received whilst we have been developing the centre, has been very high, particularly from the UK, Germany and Italy.
We now have a complete scheduled of courses in place for 2007, which combine detailed product information and on-machine training." The range of courses available cover key product groups, including its TA and Gen-2 TA systems, thread mills, deep hole drilling and reaming as well as the new Gen3Sys high penetration drilling system.
