Mission
and Program Description:
The Machine Tool Technology program prepares
individuals to shape metal parts on machines such as lathes,
grinders, drill presses, and milling machines. Computer
numerical controlled machines are also introduced. The program
includes making computations for dimensions and cutting feeds
and speeds, using precision measuring instruments, laying out
parts, and heat treatment of metals.
The instructor has the option of adding other
specialty studies such as Numerical Control (NC), Computer
Numerical Control (CNC), etc., in order to meet local industry
needs.

The objectives of the Machine Tool Technology program are to
provide knowledge and skills training to students to enable them
to:
- Identify and practice all of the safety rules that
pertain to a machine shop.
- Use layout tools for both precision and semi-precision
layout.
- Identify and use hand tools.
- Identify different metals and select grinding wheels,
sharpen cutting tools and drill bits.
- Cut stock with power and hand hacksaws.
- Cut internal and external threads by hand.
- Identify types of drill presses, parts, and controls.
- Calculate and adjust for feeds and speeds, drill and
bore holes in various shapes and types of material including
countersinking, counterboring, and spotfacing holes.
- Identify types of lathes, their parts and controls,
calculate speeds and feeds, sharpen cutting tools, identify
work holding devices, file and polish in the lathe, turn
tapers, and cut various thread in the lathe.
- Identify various milling machines, their parts and
controls; calculate cutting speeds and feeds; identify
cutting tools; and work holding devices.
- Cut keyways, perform gang-milling operations, and
perform indexing operations.
- Identify types of precision grinders, their parts and
controls; identify and select grinding wheels; and perform
dressing operations.
- Describe the history and early uses of Computer
Numerical Control (CNC), identify and use G and M codes,
identify and use canned cycles and write sample programs.
