If you take apart anything mechanical—from a car engine to a rifle or a microwave—you’ll find lots of precision-made parts like bearings, crankshafts and more. In fact, most modern technology depends on parts like these to function.

In Piedmont Tech’s Machine Tool program, you’ll learn how to create the parts that make modern technology work.

A machinist can take raw materials and produce a specialized finished product or item through knowledge that is a combination of theoretical information and hands-on experience. With practical experience in bench work, floor work, assembly layout, selected milling machine operations, lathe, shaper, drill press, numerical control programming and machining, machine tool maintenance and inspection, you’ll be prepared to handle a wide range of responsibilities in the metalworking industry. You’ll get a full introduction to the field and practical experience in machining operations used in practically every manufacturing industry.
