How much does a machinist make?

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.


Is a cnc machinist a good career choice?

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.


Is being a CNC machinist hard?

A CNC machinist does not exist. The following are the positions regarding CNC machine tools.CNC ProgrammerCNC SetterCNC OperatorCNC Programmer - This is the hard part. Usually, a CNC programmer is a qualified or experienced machinist or turner. One has to understand the principals of machining to be able to write a program for machining on a CNC machine tool.CNC Setter - The CNC Setter is the person who would get the program from the programmer and install it on the CNC. Her would then set the machine up and get it ready for operation. The setter also needs a good background in machining or turning.CNC Operator - This is the easiest part of the job and only a good understanding of measuring instruments are necessary.The programmer probably has the hardest part of the job. The setter second and the operator the easiest. Despite having the easiest part of the job, the operator's importance to the operation is significant. He is the first person to identify incorrect dimensions of the machined component. He has to notify the setter or QC inspector if the machined workpiece is out of spec. If he fails to do so, a batch of scrap components could be produced wasting a lot of time and money. Usually, depending on the size, complexity and cost of the machined component, the operator has to take one out of every specified amount to the QC inspector for precise measuring to confirm its conformity to the drawing.In many instances, the programmer is the setter too. In others, the setter is the operator. There are instances where the programmer does the programming, setting, and is the operator of the machine.
