Therefore, anydecision to adopt bench-top lathes will need to be carefully weighed against the additionalmaintenance that might be required when using these lathes.Modifications to the CurriculumIndustry and faculty were asked whether they would be open to changing the curriculum taughtin traditional programs to accommodate the smaller sizes of bench-top metal lathes. The majorityof individuals surveyed (90.6% of those from industry and 73% of faculty) believe coursecontent can be adjusted to accommodate the smaller material sizes that are necessary when usingbench-top lathes without presenting adversely affecting
