+ Follow detailed instructions concerning the location of necessary dimensions on blueprints, sequence of machine operations, machine feeds and speeds, tools to be used, alignment processes, and predetermined machined dimensions.

+ Align parts in the machine according to set methods and given reference points, exercising care to keep material, holding fixtures, and machine stops clear of chips and particles.

+ Use knowledge of machine operations to recognize defective tooling, improper coolant flow, the need for changing speeds or feeds, machine malfunctions, or obvious dimensional deviations. Correct the problem by adjusting the machine, cutting tool, or fixture or obtain assistance from a higher level machinist.

+ Use measuring instruments such as internal and external micrometers, vernier height and depth gages, indicators, scales, and various standard or preset snap, plug, bore, or ring gages to achieve and maintain critical dimensions and tolerances during the machining process.

+ Use measuring instruments to check the accuracy of dimensions and maintain dimensions through the use of fixtures or preset machine stops, depending upon the dimensional tolerances allowed.

+ Basic knowledge of trade mathematics including plane geometry and the use of trigonometric functions and machinist handbook formulas.

+ Requires supervision, guidance and training as skills are developed.

Machinist Level II

The Machinist Level II meets the requirement of a Machinist Level I plus:

+ Operate a wider variety of more complex machine tools.

+ Extends the scope of operations on these machines by using various standard machine attachments such as rotary tables, magnetic chucks, gear changing boxes, angular drive heads, taper attachments, and universal milling attachments.

+ Intermediate skills in performing precision work on parts that present complex configurations and close tolerances between interrelated surfaces.

+ Plan and lay out work from blueprints, work sheets, and drawings that may have missing or incorrect information.

+ Operate CNC machine tools when the required manual input includes changes in coolant flow, increases or decreases in speeds and feeds, or stops are programmed for dimensional checks or minor adjustments.

+ Edit a CNC program to ensure the part meets the drawing specifications.

+ Knowledge of various metals, alloys, and other materials and their machining characteristics that enable them to select the proper cutting tools and determine correct machine feeds and speeds necessary to perform the job.

+ Intermediate knowledge of trade mathematics including plane geometry and the use of trigonometric functions and machinist handbook formulas.

+ Provide training to Machinist Level I on basic to intermediate machining processes.

Machinist Level III

The Machinist Level III meets the requirements of a Machinist Level II plus:

+ Perform a full range of machining operations on most types of conventional or CNC machine tools and their various attachments.

+ Has a broad knowledge of various metals that enables the Machinist to produce the desired cuts and finishes on each material.

+ Advanced skills in determining work procedures, machine, tools, equipment, and attachments to be used; proper type and size of raw stock; sequence of machining operations, and the speeds and feeds necessary to attain the required finishes and tolerances.

+ Setup, operate and debug programs on a variety of CNC machine tools.

+ Understand a variety of machine controls and able to make necessary manual inputs to insure accurate dimensional tolerances are achieved.

+ Advanced knowledge of trade mathematics including plane geometry and the use of trigonometric functions and machinist handbook formulas.
