I currently work as a cnc machinist, im still pretty new to it. About 6 months, i was previously a construction worker, sun up to sun down work. Operating Cnc machines was a huge change, its alot easier physically, but it requires math skills and knowledge of the machines. It isnt a bad career choice, dependong on where and who you work for. Because im so new to it i currently dont make very good money, cant afford to live on my own. But the more experience the more money. Id say the average machinist (knowing how to set up machines and possibly program) might make $40,000 to $65,000 a year, possibly. But there is defintly better choices. Hope i helped.
Yes you do
You need the services of a CNC machinist.
As one of the closest places to study to be a CNC Machinist locally would be Macomb Community College in Detroit, your best bet would likely be to take an online course at a CNC website such as CNC Master or at a college such as the University of Phoenix.
A CNC machinist is a skilled Machinist who specializes in computer-controlled machines (lathes, mills, etc.). Traditionally, CNC machinists started their training with "manual" machines, but today many CNC machinists quickly transfer to CNC machines and never truly learn manual machining.
35 dollars an hour
There are a number of qualifications one must have if they are interested in a CNC machinist job. Some of these qualifications include knowing the safety procedures of the job, comprehension of equipment maintenance, and knowing how to program the mills and lathes that are needed to perform the job.
Varies greatly depending on skill, experience and what exactly ypur doing.
To apply for a CNC position the best place to go would be a workforce center, or to a machinist company and applying there for a job. Also, there are some day labor jobs that require someone to have CNC knowledge.

CNC router's are good for home use and even good to use for a small business. Depending on what type and how much material you would be cutting it might be a very good choice to put one in your house.
Depending if you are a manual machinist or a cnc machinst. usually between $18 an hour for a C class and about $35 an hour an A class machinist. with about 30 years of experience it also depends on job specs. most machinist don't do the same types of jobs. i was working in long island, N.Y in a pump shop as a c class making $18 an hour. while i was in the navy i was doing general maintence on submarines and other ships. although a automotive machinist start off will be in the $30 an hour range with a state certification. It really does depend on if you do CNC(computerized) work or manual machining. I am just starting out in the field, and where I am from which is the Pittsburgh area, I can usually expect to start out at about 12.00 an hour. Cost of living in N.Y. and Pittsburgh varies greatly, so $18 an hour in N.Y. is like $14 an hour in Pittsburgh. But I plan on making this a career, so in a couple to few years once I get my journeyman's papers, working in CNC, I can expect to make anywhere from $18 to $24 dollars an hour.
A CNC laser provides cutting services and to be more specific metal cutting services. CNC lasers are used to cut metals into 2D shapes of the desired choice.
