8 courses with the subject MACH, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
MACH 1040Precision Machining I5
Use of hand tools to produce layouts and objects. Theory and practice of grinding tool bits, turning, facing, taper turning, boring and thread cutting on lathe and drill sharpening. Operation and setup of lathes, grinders, mills, drill presses. Identification, demonstration and application of machine shop safety equipment and procedures. Second semester focuses on more advanced theory and projects. Lecture/laboratory. Prerequisite: Eligible to enroll in college-level math. Lab fee. Credits 5
Metallurgy as applied to machining operations. Structure of metals, thermal processing, hardness and mechanical testing, metals (steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, irons), tooling materials, near net shape processes. Lab demonstrations include hardness and mechanical testing. Lecture/ demonstration. Credits 3
Theory and practice of turning, facing, taper turning, boring and thread cutting on lathe, and drill sharpening. Operation and setup of lathes, grinders, mills, drill presses.
