Machine Tool Setter Operator Ontario College Certificate
ObjectivesGraduates will be qualified to set up and operate one or more metal cutting machines. Students will select either the Engine Lathe or the Milling Machine. Due to time restraints students will not have the opportunity to train on both machines. Students will also study safety, blueprint reading, applied trade calculations and layout.
Entry requirementsThis program is designed for students who wish to enter the field of metal machining or upgrade their current skills in metal machining.
