Over and over the same question . Lets do the thread . These tools would be what would be expected walking in the door or after a years time . This list is NOT for a shop owner or someone owning their own equipment , but for an employee starting out in the trade .
You will need some mathematical ability . If you don't have this , take up a different trade . Period . That's not to discourage anyone , it's a fact . Fractions , decimals , millimeters , angles , geometry , trigonometry , etc , it goes with the trade .
This thread won't be hijacked to lead you astray , I leave that to the moderators . Feel free to add comments but lets not confuse our newer members and possible future machinists .
I'm in the process of packing up a box for work , doing basic machining , thus I have this stuff out . Just thought it would be a good time to post this .
