Rick, there are lots of good online resources:
- Sandvik's course + book is very worthwhile.
- The other major toolmakers have lots of resources.
- Go through the magazine Cutting Tool Engineering frequently. They have a high concentration of articles.
- Check out our own CNCCookbook feeds and speeds cookbook:

Get very familiar with all the buzzwords and do a lot of research on your own to dig deeper into the more common buzzwords.
That will at least get you to talk the talk. Whether they'll let you walk the walk based on all that will be the real test of how good a salesman you are.
Best,
BW
