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.

Patrick- You may be an open book Spongebob, but I am a bit more complicated than that. The Inner Machinations of my mind are an enigma. (thought bubble appears showing the milk following down as the downfall of society, and how it screwed itself over by the fact that the milk fell by itself. The cloth resembles the high class of society, which carries the milk (society) and gets corrupted by the milk. The enigma is what caused the milk to fall in the first place? This some deep shit patrick)
