4. Machining Benefits n High in demand –Hard to find valuable employees n Jobs across the nation –If your good, you’ve got it. n Controlled Climate n Clean Environment

5. Projects n Projects require patience and creativity. –Don’t give up until it’s over with.

6. Projects n Blueprints –Must know how to read them –most important key to starting a project

7. Projects n Great starter projects –C-clamp –Hammer –V-blocks –Parallels –1-2-3 Blocks n all projects demonstrate use of machinery.

8. Projects n Advanced Projects include: –Air engine –Clock –Vice

9. Projects n Other advanced projects: –Ferris Wheel –Flashlight –Air Cylinder

10. Equipment and Tools n Machinists use a variety of tools n They must know their options n Safety is the MOST important key to machining n A select few of the tools and machines used are:

11. Equipment- Machines n Lathes –Turn Metal to form an object of any desired shape –Drill Holes in the end of a piece of stock –Make threads –provide good finishes

12. Equipment- Machines n Mills –Drills holes in both square and round stock –Mills the top of stock –Uses the end mill to mill from the side –can do work from several different angles –Variety of attachments- Vice, head, collets, etc… –Cuts grooves –provides a descent finish

13. Equipment- Machines

14. n Bandsaw –cut bigger pieces of stock –not a “finishing” machine –rough cuts

15. Equipment- Machines n Surface grinder –A finishing machine –provides a variety of finishes depending on the grinding wheel –Only take off two thousandths of an inch

16. Equipment- Machines n Wheel Grinder –removes burrs from stock –grind down stock and screws

17. Equipment- Tools Circular vice Tap & Die Center Finder & Edge Finder

18. Equipment- Tools Starter Bit End Mill Dial Indicator

19. Machining n Become a good critical thinker n Learn patience n most important of all, enjoy what you do.
