Precision Machining
Precision Machining at a Glance
Machinists create something tangible and practical with blocks of raw materials, their specifications and the machines to bring their ideas alive. These students will learn how to read and understand design files, set up machine tools, operate manual and automatic CNC machines, machine cutting, how to mill, drill, and shape parts, polish and present finished parts, measure, examine and test products, learn customer service skills, and how to customize parts.
