Machinist (Title 32)

As a Machinist WG you will fabricate complex and non-routine items that require numerous intricate steps precise measurements unusual and compound angles or nonstandard applications of standard equipment. Plan and lay out work from blueprints sketches drawings or specifications. Perform machine setups using advanced shop mathematics and geometric and trigonometric formulas to compute compound angles angular indexing hole patterns pitch lead and pitch diameters for various standard and non-standard threads. Set up and operate most types of conventional and/or Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools such as lathes; vertical and horizontal boring mills; bench plane or universal milling machines; shapers and planers; internal and external grinders thread grinders; and radial drills. Perform precision handwork to finish fit and assemble machined parts.
