Please call 1.866.706.8665 to schedule a demonstration or to begin an assessment program today.

Test Name:	Job: Machinist/Machine Setter - UPDATED
Number of Questions:	222
Test Description:	The assessment for machinists/machine setters tests for an understanding of cutting tool theory, CNC coordinate systems, basic G code programming, manual machining, part inspection, and workpiece material properties. This assessment also thoroughly addresses print reading, math skills, and duties related to first-time setups for new jobs. Test questions are based on class material from the CNC, EDM, inspection, manual machining, materials, metal cutting, quality, safety, shop mathematics/print reading, and workholding departments.
Test Instructions:	This online test requires uninterrupted access to a computer with an Internet connection. For math-related questions, please have paper and pencils on hand for your calculations. Textbooks, calculators, and other electronic devices are NOT allowed.

This assessment covers all these classes:
