As a CNC Machine Tool Programmer/Operator, you will use computer driven machine tools such as lathes, mills, lasers, water jet, wire and/or sinker
electrical discharge machines, tube benders, punches, brakes, and grinders to shape materials to precise dimensions. Although some programmer/
operators can work with a wide variety of CNC machine tools, most specialize in one or two types. Specific duties may include: studying blueprints or
sketches; building tooling, jigs, or fixtures; programming and editing; machine work pieces; inspecting and certifying product for dimensional accuracy;
and light duty repair and maintenance of the CNC machine. Many of the CNC courses listed below require prior basic machine tool work experience
and/or high school or skill center classes in basic machine tools.
