This is a semester course that introduces students to basic milling machines.  Theory and safe operation of machines and hand tools will be covered.  Students will read and write technical information, use precision measuring instruments, practice math calculations, and the science of metallurgy will be covered.  Students will perform various exercises using the engine lathe and mill.  Instead of shaping wood you can shape metal. A C-Clamp and small cross peen hammer are projects the student will make.  Safety glasses may be purchased from the Skilled and Technical Sciences Department.
