I had several hundred hours worth of manual machining experience (mix of milling on a bridgeport and turning on a lathe) before I even delved into CNC. I consider that time to be invaluable as it gave me a solid understanding of what a cutting tool is capable of as well as what the limitations of fixturing are.
Learning to use a manual machine is no longer necessary in a modern CNC machine shop. I would also recommend any young people looking to get into the trade to first learn the basics of programming in a language like C before even making chips on a CNC machine.
With manual machining you have to plan every operation and do it by hand, you're problem solving a lot. You're also going to be exercising your brain having to trig things out, figure out arc lengths, and utilizing a ton of theory to measure and verify features.
Whether it's traditional manual machining or cutting-edge CNC technology, there are programs like the Machinist Training Institute, Precision Machining Academy, Advanced Machining Institute, Technical Machining School, and CNC Mastery Program that provide rigorous instruction and hands-on practice.
