Machinists

01

Calculate dimensions or tolerances, using instruments, such as micrometers or vernier calipers.

02

Machine parts to specifications, using machine tools, such as lathes, milling machines, shapers, or grinders.

03

Measure, examine, or test completed units to check for defects and ensure conformance to specifications, using precision instruments, such as micrometers.

04

Set up, adjust, or operate basic or specialized machine tools used to perform precision machining operations.

05

Program computers or electronic instruments, such as numerically controlled machine tools.

06

Study sample parts, blueprints, drawings, or engineering information to determine methods or sequences of operations needed to fabricate products.

07

Monitor the feed and speed of machines during the machining process.

08

Maintain machine tools in proper operational condition.

09

Fit and assemble parts to make or repair machine tools.

10

Support metalworking projects from planning and fabrication through assembly, inspection, and testing, using knowledge of machine functions, metal properties, and mathematics.
