Catalog Description

The Precision Machining Technology program provides training in a broad technical background in CNC machine shop operations required of today’s precision machining technicians. Covering an array of equipment and processes used to manufacture components used in the automotive, medical, military, and gas & oil industries, the students will learn basic and advanced principles and techniques using sawing, cutting, grinding, milling, and turning machine tools. Training will provide an opportunity to learn basic and advanced precision measuring tools and techniques related to quality control and inspection of completed components and provide skills in G&M coding, Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) programming, Computer-Aided Drawing (CAD), and setup and operation of Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools such as Mills and Lathes.  

Once the program has been completed, students should be able to:

1. Interpret mechanical drawings

2. Prepare cutting tool and machine shop calculations

3. Setup and operate manual machines tools

4. Setup and operate Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools

5. Program Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machine tool

6. Demonstrate semi-precision and precision measuring techniques
