context_page_description: A machinist is a tradesperson who machines using hand tools and machine tools to create or modify a part that is made of metal, plastics, or wood, although plastics or wood machining is rarely manufactured by machinists as those materials require lesser skill and almost all the work performed by a machinist is done on metal. A machinist is to metal what a carpenter or cabinet maker is to wood.
