MACHINING COURSES Machinists use tools, such as lathes
and drill presses, to produce and
repair precision metal parts. Thorough
planning and preparation must be
completed before any parts are cut.
Working from blueprints, they
decide how to cut the metal or other
material and they choose the tools to
perform the job.
Many of todays machine tools are
computer numerically controlled
(CNC). They read computerprograms and run the production
mechanism automatically.
CNC machines enable higher
productivity and better quality parts.
However, the quality of the product
largely depends on the operating
program. New programs must be
tested to ensure that machinery will
function properly and that output willmeet specifications.
