Home Machinists

The home machinist is someone who has their own machine tools and makes machined items using mostly metal parts. It can be a hobby or a job for someone who works from home.

The tools used are classed into 6 categories. The first is measuring tools like adjustable parallels, plain calipers, rules, scales and vernier calipers. They also include the micrometer, indicator and electronic measuring tools.

The next category is hand tools, which may be similar to what a car mechanic might have in their toolbox.
The third category is the machine tools. These include drilling, milling, turning and grinding machines. The lathe and mill are two of the most familiar machine tools to the home machinist.

The forth category is the workholder. These are usually the vises, chucks, pallets jigs and faceplates.
The fifth category is called the toolholders, which includes the chucks, cuters and more.
The last category are the cutting tools. These include the face, shell and end mills, core drills, turning tools and more.

The home machinist doesn't have to use all these tools but he should become familiar with most of them and be able to use them in his home shop.

    Looks good. I am just getting back into metal working at home (I was laid off from a factory 10 years ago and switched careers). I am a little slow on the remembering but getting there. Good luck.
