Without Precision Machining there would be no autos, planes, computers, household goods, or many other modern-day conveniences. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports tool-making ranks #7 in lifetime career earning potential. In this course, students plan and make precision finished parts from raw material using lathes, mills, CNC (computer numerical control) machines, and precision measuring tools. This can be the beginning of a great career or a vital stepping-stone toward college degree careers such as engineering.
