Machinists are the most important of all Tradesmen. Without machinists, no other trade would have the tools to do their jobs. Everything you see on a day-to-day basis owes its existence in some way to a machinist and machining, from plastics, the clothing, the metals to a paper cup. In this guide, we talk the history of machining. Why Machinists Are Important? ......
