Students will learn to conduct a job hazard analysis for a machine tool group, analyze blueprints to layout parts and materials, select hand tools and common machine shop mechanical hardware for specific applications, prescribe cutting tools for assigned operations, calculate stock size to minimize drop, machine parts to specification outlined in machine handbooks, summarize preparations for machining operations, and apply precautions to minimize hazards for work with lathes, mills, drills, and grinders.

Instruction will be given in the form of lectures, hand-outs, video tapes, shop demonstrations, shop assignment and text book assignments. Students will perform required set-ups and operations of lathes, milling machines, and grinders in a timely manner. Students are required to practice all shop safety rules. Calculate feed and speeds using the math formulas taught. Math will also be used to calculate hole pattern layouts, gear cutting, threading information, inspecting and quality control, and programming. Students will be required to perform machine operations to the satisfaction of the instructor. Students may be required to work in two or three person teams, but all students will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their competency level and ability by means of written test, verbal communications, and demonstrating hands-on.
