Under direct supervision, sets up, operates, and adjusts various types of conventional or automatic machines including lathes, drill presses, grinders, and other precision
equipment. Works from drawings and written instructions to create replacement and new parts in making repairs to metal parts as well as for experimental apparatus or prototype
equipment. Work is routine and machining is performed to ordinary tolerances.
Responsibilities:
Machines parts to specifications, using machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, shapers or grinders. Sets up, adjusts or operates basic or specialized machine tools used
to perform precision machining operations.
??? Measures, examines or tests completed units to check for defects and ensure conformance to specifications, using precision instruments, such as micrometers. Calculates dimensions
or tolerances, using instruments such as micrometers or Vernier calipers.
??? Monitors the feed and speed of machines during the machining process. Maintains machine tools in proper operational condition. Operates equipment to verify operational efficiency.
??? Studies sample parts, blueprints, drawings or engineering information to determine methods or sequences of operations needed to fabricate products.
??? Uses various bandsaws, cutoff wheels, table saws, and pedestal grinders .

??? Installs repaired parts into equipment or install new equipment. Checks work pieces to ensure that they are properly lubricated or cooled.
??? Designs fixtures, tooling or experimental parts to meet special engineering needs.
??? Supports metalworking projects from planning and fabrication through assembly, inspection, and testing, using knowledge of machine functions, metal properties and
mathematics. Prepare working sketches for the illustration of product appearance.
??? Tests experimental models under simulated operating conditions for purposes such as development, standardization or feasibility of design. Install experimental parts or
assemblies, such as hydraulic systems, electrical wiring, lubricants or batteries into machines or mechanisms.
