What Is a Millwright?

Millwrights work primarily in metal and with machinery and equipment requiring precision.  Millwrights often work to specifications requiring tolerances to a thousandth of an inch.  If you like to work with machines, tools, and precision instruments, have a keen eye for the perfect fit, and have a good grasp of mathematics, you might consider being a millwright.
