Job Overview: There are a variety of tasks this position completes, including operating manual lathes and using basic hand tools. First, a machinist must begin the process by checking the specifications and readouts for the parts at hand. This operator then must make decisions on the type of machining or polishing processes needed to meet specifications. They calculate how to shape the piece of metal or other material that is being worked on and decide what tools will be needed. Next, machinists place the work piece on the equipment of choice and set the controls to make the cuts. While the machining process is taking place, machinists watch carefully for any problems. They monitor the speed and heat of the machine and must be capable of learning how to perform basic maintenance of the machine. Associates must be detail oriented.
