What is machining?
What is a machining job?
Machining jobs refer to positions in the manufacturing industry that operate computers and machines to create metal parts. Job titles include machinist, mill hand, toolmaker, or fitter. Machinists use powerful tools, such as lathes, grinders, lasers, millers, drill presses, and planers to cut large pieces of metal, wood, glass, or plastics, and turn them into specialized tools. Examples of machinist products include bolts, pistons, and parts for automobiles and airplanes. Precision is a machinist’s top priority; they must carefully manage every step of their process, from developing a plan to cooling the metal.
