Half decent tools are expensive and the pay scale to the cost of tools is a little off. Im in the auto repair trade … i can no longer afford to buy tools. Im at the point of just maintaining what I have.I setup my student workstations with the tools I'd expect them to provide entry level. There are a few items like the calculator, and various keys and drivers that have been added since these photos were take. The top three drawers are all the same across the shop and the lower drawers are more machine specific. I've replaced the 25' tape for a 16', as my drawers are not very deep. I also have a small 12' flexible tape and 6" and 12" tap handles. I was shocked to learn how expensive apprentice tools run these days.

Kaizem Foam. Great for organization and available in a variety of thicknesses.Question for @forhire (or anyone else) in post #10 above what kind of foam is that?
I also suggest that you fill not only your tool box, but also your head with some basic electrical facts. i believe it will help your career significantly if you would just learn these things: Volt, Amp, Ohm, Watt, Kilowatt, Horsepower and Kilowatt hour. What are they and how they are related. It takes about an hour to go through this, and it lasts the rest of your life.You will need some mathematical ability . If you don't have this , take up a different trade

lol I am the reverse. Programming and building software systems without real word connections is not cool. Now I want to have that connectionI would advise someone thinking of becoming a machinist to take a beginning course in computer science. Most community colleges offer them. The jobs around here seem to be in the programming of machining centers and coordinate measurement machines. Any computer language experience would be a good head start. I don't know if there is a lot of opportunity for conventional machinists. I might be wrong.
