Get started with a new exciting career and craft that will stick with you for the rest of your life.

1. Learn How to get Work
in A Machine Shop
There are many
different ways to do
this, lets take a look
into it shall we?!

2. WHY DO MACHINE SHOPS RULE SO
MUCH?
 As time passed, a simple machine shop is now a
full-blown company that has automated
machines that are able to produce high-precision
products at very short period of time.

3. OPERATING A MACHINE SHOP INVOLVES A LOT OF PRACTICE
AND DEDICATION. PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THE
INDUSTRY FOR A LONG TIME HAVE DIFFERENT REASONS WHY
THEY LOVE THE CRAFT.
 An owner of a machine shop, or a company that
is operating a machine shop, would need to
constantly learn trade secrets so that they can
always improve their performance in the
industry. Nowadays, machine shops are
competing in a highly competitive environment.
Of the 50 percent of the largest machine shops,
they only comprise 15 percent of the total profit
generated by all the machine shops in the
country.

4. HERE ARE SOME REASONS FOR YOU TO
CONSIDER ABOUT RUNNING A MACHINE
SHOP:
 You can mess up, try again, and be successful in
figuring out a certain process. Perfecting a metal part
needs constant trials and errors. When you are in a
machine shop, you can try and try until you get
satisfied with the result.
 It involves “real” work. Working in a machine shop
produces tangible outputs. You can actually evaluate
with your eyes and hands whether or not a product
can pass for a quality output. This gives a different
sense of fulfillment to the people working in the
industry.
 There are a lot of trades areas that you can choose to
specialize in.

5. MY FAVORITE BENEFITS OF MACHINES:
 You may focus on mold making, general
machining, fixture and jig making, and CNC
programming.
 As your business grows, you would find a
lot more of other areas where you can grow.
At the end, aim for being a machine shop
that is able to provide a wide range of
services.
 There are techniques that overlap in the different
processes, so you can easily transition from one
process to another.

6.  Once you master all the techniques needed in
producing your products, you can be alone and be
in total control of production.
 Working in machine shops can be physical, but
not entirely so as to exhaust you and drain your
energy.
 It is somewhere between being in a chair all day,
and being physically exhausted from rigorous
physical activities. A machine shop lets you walk
around a bit, operate machines and sit down for
some paper works.

7. YOU CAN MASTER THE CRAFT OF MACHINING
WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND A LOT OF
MONEY.
 Being able to master a machine a craft when it
comes to machining does not have to be from
trainings and lessons.
 All you have to do is commit to the craft, and you
will be able to master it and be an expert in what
you want to do.
