GD&T Training for machinists and Inspectors

[QC Rick]

I have read an older post "GD&T training - Self Study vs. Undergrad GD&T course" but I did not find any info I could really use.

I am looking for training (single or multiple users) on GD&T that doesn't delve into the complicated engineering aspects of design; I have read so many websites and or brochures but none seem to drive interpretation as they do design use.
I am sure like many in this profession, we see B/P's that are atrocities of GD&T, some due to age (Beginning GD&T and conversions) others due to poor understanding of design theory. I would like to find training that approaches interpretation of what is in front of me rather than what should be in front of me.
In particular for machinists and inspectors who do not need to be experts but do need to be knowledgeable.

Any help on this is appreciated!

Hello QC Rick,

There's a few of us here at The Cove Forums that offer GD&T training.
David DeLong, yours truly, and others.

There is a company based out of Minnesota that offers training courses in GD&T including a self directed learning option. They hold classes, but locations are limited to the midwest. I have sent my staff to several of their offerings, with excellent results.

I have no affiliation with this company.

I would like to find [GD&T] training that approaches interpretation of what is in front of me rather than what should be in front of me.

If what you mean is training that will help you to determine what designers were thinking, you're not going to find it, I'm afraid. The best you can hope for is to have people who understand GD&T, know when it's been poorly or erroneously invoked, and who never try to guess what was intended.
