Machine Tool Technology

Course Description

This course provides practical experience in the use of machine tools. Emphasis is on shop safety, use of measuring instruments, hand tools, horizontal band saw, drill press, screw cutting lathe, electric arc welding, oxyfuel welding, and oxyfuel cutting. The laboratory also consists of a half semester of “hands-on” introduction to electric arc welding and machine tool operation including safety. [Lab time required]
