Yes. Our machine shop is back logged several months and new repairs and fabrications arrive daily. Have great math skills and attitude. You will make good money.


Is there a "best type" of machinist? Is one type of machinist more in demand than others?

In my area a machinist is gonna make around $20-25 an hour.

A tool and die or mold maker is gonna make $30-40 an hour.

You don't want to work in a shop that does production tubing cutting fittings...... it's very boring. S
Try to get into a shop that makes a batch of 100 parts..... not 4,0000.
