A machinist is a tradesperson who machines using hand tools and machine tools to create or modify a part, made of metal, plastics, or wood. A traditional machinist is one who can operate, disassemble and repair the machine tool as well as build new parts such as gears and shafts using various machine tools such as mills, lathes and planers; some titles reflect further development of machinist skills such as tool and die maker, mold maker and operator. A machinist is one, called on to fix a problem with a part or to create a new one using metal working, plastic, or in some cases, wood. Depending on the company, a machinist can be all of the titles listed above. Under the machinist title are other specialty titles that refer to specific skills that may be more developed to meet the needs of a particular job position, such as fitter, turning hand, mill hand, grinder. A machinist is called upon when a part needs to be produced from a material by cutting; such a part may be needed in the thousands.

This could include a machinery part for a production line or anything that can be made from metal or plastic. Producing a part will require several steps and more than one machine tool; each machine tool plays a specific role in cutting away excess material. When large numbers of parts are needed, production planning is required to plan the most logical workflow through a series of machines. Computer numerical controlled machines are a special computer-driven tool that can machine a large variety of shapes, whose use in the workflow depends on the part to be machined. CNC machines are becoming the standard due to their speed, precision and reduced downtime while changing jobs. Production runs consisting of large numbers of parts are more cost effective and referred to as production work in the trade. Conversely, small production runs are sometimes referred to jobbing work. Production engineers use blueprints and engineering drawings to produce detailed specifications of the part its geometry decide on a strategy to make it.

Machine tools are configured by the machinist or toolset and production commences. The machinist works with the quality department to ensure the specifications are maintained in the finished product. Large commercial organizations staff machinists on site in a maintenance mode to ensure continuing operations of the production machinery; the labor cost for this role is lower than costs involved with production shutdowns. Additive machining means 3D printing to create industrial components, prototypes and end-use production parts. Additive machining comes into its own in the manufacturing of small intricate parts, which could not be produced through any other manufacturing process. There are several processes in additive manufacturing which include direct metal deposition: electron beam melting, fused filament fabrication, select laser sintering, variations of them. A machinist is to metal; the most common materials that machinists make parts from are steel, brass and various alloys of these materials.

Other less common materials such as vanadium, lead, or manganese are used as alloying elements for the most common materials. Materials that machinists work with are plastics, rubber and wood products. Machinists work with exotic and refractory metals; the term exotic metals is a general term describing out of the ordinary, rare or special purpose metals. A synonym might be space-age. A list of exotic metals might include, but is not limited to, beryllium, chromium and tungsten, as well as special high-temperature metal alloys like Inconel or Hastelloy; the meaning of the term suggests the need for specialized handling and/or tooling to machine them effectively. While the foregoing were the materials that a machinist would be cutting, the cutters that the machinist uses must be harder and tougher than the materials to be cut; the materials in the cutters a machinist uses are most high speed steel, tungsten carbide, ceramics and diamond. Machinists work to small tolerances within 0.010" or 0.25 mm, sometimes at tolerances as low as 0.0001" for specialty operations.

A machinist deals with all facets of shaping and some aspects of forming metal, although forming is a separate trade. The operations most performed by machinists are milling, drilling and grinding. There are other more specialised operations that a machinist will less be called upon to perform such as honing, keyseating and polishing, to name a few; the tools that a machinist is expected to be proficient with fall into 6 broad categories: Measuring tools: The measuring tools come in several basic varieties: Comparison tools such as adjustable parallels and plain calipers, Direct reading tools such as rules and vernier calipers, Micrometer tools based on screw threads, Indicator tools based on clockwork gear movements, Electronic measuring tools based on transducers. Many of these are digital versions of their mechanical predecessors, as with a digital caliper. Hand tools: The hand tools are the usual complement of tools found in a complete auto mechanic's set except that auto specialty tools would be absent and some outsized tools would be present, such as 1 1/2" open end wrench.

Anakkampoyil is a village near to Thiruvambady town in Kozhikode district of Kerala, India. It is located in the hill side valley of Vellarimala. Arippara Waterfalls is situated near by here. Thiruvambady is situated 15 kilometer away from here; the important needed development of this area is that constructing Calicut - Wayanad Badal road through Anakkampoyil - Kalladi - Meppadi. By constructing this road the traffic hang over problem. For this a 5 km road only want to construct through the forest and two small bridges want to be constructed for Iruvanjippuzha and Kaniyad river. Road is available from Anakkampoyil - Mutahappanpuzha - Marippuzha and from Meppadi to Thollayiram Estate. An amount of one and half crore is only needed for construction and finishing of this whole work. If this road is constructed Wayanad to southern districts of Kerala transportation became easier and about 30 km can be reduced. Good road is available from Marippuzha - Anakkampoyil - Thiruvambady - Mukkam - Kunnamangalam.

So the importance of Wayanad Badal Road through this route have been increased

Get Your Act Together with Harvey Goldsmith is a Channel 4 television programme in which promoter Harvey Goldsmith is given six months to help revive the fortunes of six entertainment businesses or performers. The acts and businesses he deals with are Irish singer and actress Samantha Mumba and wife opera business Opera Anywhere, heavy metal band Saxon, radio station Big L 1395, Deighton Working Men's Club and Paulo's, Britain's oldest circus, he dealt with all over a six-month period, but they are each given a separate show in the series. Much of the show revolves around the battle between Goldsmith and the people who he is trying to help; the acts are reluctant to take on board his advice, or to change at all. Goldsmith is frustrated at the slow pace at which those he is advising are progressing; the show performed poorly. Although the first four episodes were broadcast in a primetime 9pm slot, the final episodes of the series were shown late at night.
