Machinists set up and operate a variety of computer-controlled and
mechanically-controlled machine tools to produce precision metal parts,
instruments, and other tools.
There are many different ways to become a machinist or tool and die
maker. Machinists train in apprenticeship programs, vocational schools,
or community or technical colleges, or on the job. To become a fully
trained tool and die maker takes several years of technical instruction,
as well as on-the-job training. Good math, problem-solving, and computer
skills are important.
NOTE:
There is a lot of overlap between the resources you
find on this page and on the page called
Robotics and Numerical Controls.
You will probably find yourself switching between the
two.
