Precision Machining
Machinists use machine tools such as lathes, drill presses and milling machines to produce precision-machined parts. Students learn how to set up and operate various metal working machines and construct projects from engineering drawings. Students will have the opportunity to explore the different fields of machining such as: automotive, aerospace, agriculture, medical appliance and performance engine machining. Students are also trained in Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Machining (CAM). Precision Machining is a National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certified program.
