Job Duties
The 'manual' aspect of the career title implies the use of the hands, but ironically much of the work that manual machinists do is conducted on machines, which are often controlled by computer. Working with exacting precision is a large part of manual machinists' jobs. They are responsible for cutting, slicing, drilling and in some cases repairing the very machines that they work with. Other duties may include press-braking, roll-forming, finishing and stamping items. It is important for these technicians to follow specific protocols by reading blueprints and using computers on various types of machinery. Machinists must operate with care at all times. Safety is important when working with steel, glass and metal. Some of their work involves heat-processed or lubricated items as well, and the machines and parts they use can be heavy and dangerous. The types of machines that a manual machinist might use include:
? Grinders
? Machine mills
? Lathes
? Drill presses
? Stamping machines
