As a machinist you will perform diverse setups and operate machine tools that cut and form all types of metal parts. This is also a field where you plan the sequence of operations according to blueprints, layouts, or other instructions. Using micrometers, gauges, and other precision measuring instruments, the completed work will often adhere to specification requirements and tolerance limits.
