The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission visited Nash Community College’s Zifferer Family New Standard Corporation Machining Lab last week to see firsthand the Production Procedures (MAC-248) class fly fishing reel project.

For the project, students drafted the concept, designed, manufactured, inspected and assembled fly fishing reels. The idea started when one Nash Community College student in the Solid Works class looked for an item to design. The goal of the Production Procedures class is to educate future machinists on the manufacturing process from start to finish.
