Conventional Machining
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Conventional or “Traditional” Machining uses tools, such as lathes, milling machines, boring machines, drill presses, or others, with a sharp cutting tool to remove material to achieve the desired geometry. It t is a process in which the material is removed by the direct contact between tool and work-piece. The machining requires the presence of a tool that is harder than the workpiece to be machined. This tool should be penetrated in the work-piece to a certain depth. Moreover, a relative motion between the tool and workpiece is responsible for forming or generating the required shape.
Our Conventional Machining Program is designed to meet the specific needs of the machining industry by providing machine tool operators with both high-quality practical skills and suitable theoretical knowledge. Learn to set up and operate lathes, milling machines, grinders, drilling machines and special machines. Acquire such skills as positioning and securing workpiece and work-holding devices and inspecting workpieces to ensure conformance. Study safety practices, blueprint reading, applied trade calculations and layouts.
Machinists typically do the following:
- Work from blueprints, sketches, or computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) files
- Set up, operate, and disassemble manual, automatic, and computer-numeric-controlled (CNC) machine tools
- Align, secure, and adjust cutting tools and work-pieces
- Monitor the feed and speed of machines
- Turn, mill, drill, shape, and grind machine parts to specifications
- Measure, examine, and test completed products for defects
- Smooth the surfaces of parts or products
- Present finished work-pieces to customers and make modifications if needed
Eligible Certifications:
- Certificate of Completion – Chaffey College
