Exam Cutting Machine Operator (Summer 2025 Turning/Milling)
Cutting Machine Operator Exam Summer 2025 – done!
The Cutting Machine Operator Exam is a specialized certification (IHK) in Germany that assesses both practical and theoretical skills in CNC machining.
Want to take a closer look at the exam?
On our YouTube channel, you can find 3D simulations of the workpieces (turning & milling) from the written part of this exam – including brief explanations of the individual steps. This gives you a clear idea of what the parts look like and what was expected in the exam.
Please note: This exam and the related content are specific to the German vocational training system and may differ from similar certifications in other countries.
Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more practical CNC content:
Turning:
- In turning, the focus was on several typical machining operations, including facing and longitudinal turning of the outer contour, roughing and finishing of the inner contour, as well as threading an internal thread M36 with a 1.5 mm pitch. Additionally, a 24 mm hole was drilled.
Please note: The video are only available in German.
Milling:
- In milling, the focus was on various milling strategies, including an outer contour with multiple tools, an angled surface, a slot with a circular arc, and a complex inner contour. Additionally, drilling operations and an M6 thread were included.
Please note: The video are only available in German.

Happy Easter 2025!
Happy Easter from the KELLER.Software team! 🐰
This year, we’ve wrapped up our Easter greetings a little differently: Our apprentice came up with the idea to design an Easter bunny using the geometry module of our CNC software SYMplus™ – completely self-initiated and fully programmed on their own. We were all impressed with the result – and we hope it brings a smile to your face too.
We wish you a joyful Easter, sunny spring days & some relaxing holidays!
- Watch how a simple contour turns step by step into a neat little bunny – fully simulated with our CNC training software SYMplus™.
