"A machinist is a person who uses machine tools to make or modify parts, primarily metal parts. This is accomplished by using machine tools to cut away excess material much as a woodcarver cuts away excess wood to produce his work. In addition to metal, the parts may be made of many other kinds of materials, such as plastic or wood products. The goal of these cutting operations is to produce a part that conforms to a set of specifications, usually in the form of engineering drawings commonly known as blueprints.

A machinist is usually called upon when a part needs to be produced from a material by cutting. Such a part may be unique or may be needed in the thousands. This could include a machinery part for a production line or generally anything that can be made from metal or plastic. Producing a part will often require several steps and more than one machine tool. Each machine tool is designed to play a specific role in cutting away excess material. When large numbers of parts are needed, production planning is required to map out the most efficient way to use a collection of machine tools and machinists to produce the lot (collection of parts). The collection of machine tools may be any grouping that satisfies the cutting requirements. Such groupings usually include milling machines, drilling machines, turning machines, and grinding machines. It might include one of the older style multi-spindle machines, swiss-style machines or a computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine.

CNC machines are becoming the standard due to their speed, precision, flexibility, and reduced downtime while changing jobs. Production runs consisting of large numbers of parts are more cost effective (in a local and narrow sense) and commonly referred to as production work in the trade. Conversely, small production runs are sometimes referred to as prototype or jobbing work although with the advent of theory of constraints and lean manufacturing, this perspecive may be changing.

Production engineers use blueprints and drawings to produce detailed specifications of the part, especially its geometry (shape) , then decide on a strategy to make it. Machine tools are then configured by the machinist or toolsetter and production commences. The machinist works closely with the quality department in order to insure the original specifications are maintained in the part produced."
