Machinify

-To attribute machine-like qualities to objects, ideas, etc. (similar to "personify", only "machinify" is attributing machine-like attributes rather than human attributes). Often used as an alternative way of thinking, to better understand a subject or idea.

-To view objects or ideas as having properties synonymous to machines.

-To understand the structure and behavior of living organisms as being parallel to that of an intricate, working machine.

Machinist

Simply put, a machinist uses tools to make other tools. Some machine tools used are the milling machine, lathe, surface grinder, CNC mill and CNC turning centres, among others.

A machinist cuts, drills, taps, reams, bores, mills, turns, deburrs, files, grinds, programs, and assembles metals, plastics, wood, and any number of exotic materials used in consumer goods, automotive, aerospace, and medical areas of industry.

Machinists--unlike machine operators--are skilled tradesmen. They are required to have a solid background in problem-solving skills using technical math, metrology (measurement), as well as CNC programming (Mastercam, Solidworks, etc.) editing, and operation.
