MACHINIST JOB ROLE
operates various types of power driven metal cutting or grinding machines for cutting and grinding metal. Studies drawings or measures out sample with appropriate measuring instruments to note different dimensions and sequence of operations required. Selects metal piece and marks it or gets it marked for machining operations required. Fastens metal in chuck, jig or other fixture and respective tool or cutter, according to sequence of operation, on appropriate machine (lathe, shaper, milling, slotting, drilling, grinding).Checks machine setting or sets it for stipulated machine operations. Selects machine feed and speed and starts machine. Controls flow of coolant (cutting lubricant) and manipulates hand wheels or applies automatic controls to feed tool to metal or metal to tool. Observes cutting or grinding both from marking and machine readings, checks for dimensions as necessary and removes parts when machining is completed, checks completed part with measuring instruments and gauges to ensure prescribed accuracy. Makes adjustments if necessary and repeats operations, as required, on same or other machines. May assist in setting up machine for repetitive work, change tools, make simple adjustments, clean and oil machine. Does process planning, tool and cutting parameters selection, programming, setup and operation for cutting parts on CNC vertical machining center and CNC lathe.

Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya Private Industrial Training Institute, was founded in the year 1951 with the intention of eradicating un-employment among youth, and providing skilled man power to Industries in and around Coimbatore. In a humble way, we started with two trades namely Fitter and Turner with the affiliation and financial support from the Government of Tamilnadu. In the year 1982, a two year course on Draughtsman Mechanical, and Mechanic (Motor Vehicle) was started with the affiliation from National Council for Vocational Training ( NCVT), Government of India. In the same year two year Fitter course got affiliated with NCVT. In the year 1992, a two year course in wireman was started with affiliation from NCVT. In the same year Two year Turner course got affiliated with NCVT. Presently our students’ strength is 200.
