Machine Tool Technology

 

Why study machine tool technology?

Recent studies show machinists are the technicians highest in demand by Missouri manufacturers - and excellent employment opportunities are predicted for highly skilled machinists through the year 2005 and beyond.

At SFCC, the machine tool technology program is designed to prepare students for a variety of machining-related occupations, such as machine operators, machine setters, machinists, and tool and die makers, which represent different skills and different skill levels.

Traditionally, machinists have directly controlled their machines-lathes, drill presses, and milling machines-standard implements they use every day to produce precision parts of metials, wood or plastics. However, the introductions of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines has dramatically changed the nature of the machinist's work. CNC machines are more productive and enable machinists to produce parts with greater precision.
