Machine Tool Operations, Diploma
Machinists, tool & diemakers, and moldmakers use machine tools using either power-driven or hand tools to remove metal and shape it to some specified form and size. Machining equipment is stationary or power-driven. There are many jobs in machine tool operations such as CAD/CAM programmers, moldmakers, diemakers, production machinists, maintenance machinists, and machinists. Related occupations are gunsmiths, model makers, patternmakers, fixture makers, and layout workers.
