juergenwt covers it pretty well.
When I served my apprenticeship as a Fitter, Turner and Toolmaker, initially I was running machines making parts but then transitioned to making the tooling and fixtures for setting up turret and capstan lathes to be run by lathe operators. This was half a century ago so I didn't need to worry about CNC or EDM but I covered all the others, a lot of them at trade school which I had to attend one day every two weeks. Being a lazy SOB I tried to avoid the filing and scraping side of things.
An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
