A Machinist translates the specifications of a shop’s clients into precision parts by determining how best to produce the required item and then manufacturing it accordingly. They decide which machines to use for each step, how to position or load the materials and what speed and batch size settings are necessary to achieve desired effects. Once manufacturing begins, they make modifications to variables like speed and temperature to ensure consistent performance. When a Machinist performs their job duties effectively, they can help to ensure that your machine shop produces high-quality parts that will perform optimally in instruments, tools and machines to benefit your internal or external clients.
