MACHINIST

Manufacture complex and non-routine parts and items of equipment from raw stock of different metals, metal alloys, and other materials through the use of conventional and/or computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools, and precision handwork. Set up and operate a variety of conventional and/or computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools such as lathes, vertical and horizontal boring mills; bench, plain, and universal milling machines; shapers; planers; internal and external grinders; thread cutters; and radial drills to accomplish untried tasks, procedures, and prototypes. Use a variety of precision measuring instruments and equipment such as vernier calipers; height gauges; squares; protractors; inside, outside, and depth micrometers; surface gauges; vee blocks; parallel bars; gauge blocks; dial indicators; optical and mechanical comparators; and go and no-go thread, ring, bore, and plug gauge to attain dimensions and maintain tolerances. Apply algebraic, geometric, and trigonom
