Machinists use machine tools such as lathes
Almost every product from a paper
clip to the space shuttle is created using machine tool technology. If not used
directly in the manufacturing of a product, machine tool technology is used to
create the machinery and equipment that produce the product. The MTT program
provides the student with the experience, knowledge, and proper judgment to
select the necessary machining processes, plan the process, and setup and
operate machine tools to create a part or product. Machinists use Computer
Numerical Control (CNC) milling machines, lathes, grinders, and Electrical
Discharge Machining (EDM) equipment. Machinists also

use standard machine tools
such as drill presses and
hand tools. Graduates from this program may be
employed in manufacturing or custom work in companies of any size. A machinist
can become a tool and die or mold maker. These are master crafts involving
advanced uses of machine tools and attachments.
