CNC Machinist - Manufacturers Rd

SUMMARY

The Machinist (CNC/Manual) position programs and operates one or more CNC machining center to perform drilling, tapping, milling, boring and other machining operations over a range of surfaces, diameters, and depths. Determines operation sequence, select and adjust tools and mount in storage matrix. Job set ups may be complex and require milling to very close tolerances. He/She may train and inspect the work of other shop personnel in the correct operation of lathe machining processes and inspect their work.

For manual machines, experience setting up and operating either a Harrison lathe that is ten feet between centers and has a 16” swing or a manual engine lathe with a 10-foot bed & turning diameter of 40 inches maximum, to perform horizontal and vertical lathe machining operations on steel in the manufacture of parts for heavy equipment machinery.

• Ensure that safe work practices are followed and adhered to
• Check production schedule or shop request list and plan work tasks
• Study blueprints, drawings, manuals, specifications, or sample part to determine dimensions and tolerances of finished work piece, sequence of operations, setup requirements, and check for errors
• Accurately measures, numbers, identifies dimensions, and reference points on material for fabrication or other work cells for further machining as necessary
• Selects, aligns, and secures holding fixtures, cutting tools, attachments, accessories, and materials on machines as necessary to machine parts as required
• Calculates and sets controls to regulate machining factors such as speed, feed, coolant flow, depth, and angle of cut, or enters commands to retrieve, input, or edit computerized machine control media according to established guidelines and procedures
• Starts and observes machine operation to detect malfunctions or out-of-tolerance machining, and adjusts machine controls or control media as required
• Inspect finished work-piece(s) to blueprints, quality standards, exact tolerances; using measuring and inspection tools as necessary
• Sets up and operates machine on trial run to verify accuracy of machine settings or programmed control data to process steel (some pieces weighing as much as 300 lbs)
• Consults with engineers, production management, programmers, or others to resolve machining or programming problems
• Maintain a clean and organized work area and maintain all equipment, to like new appearance, according to maintenance plans and established procedures

• Assist with directing work activities of any support staff as necessary (forklift operator, CNC machine trainees, and/or material handlers)

• Miscellaneous other duties as directed by Machine Shop or Shift Lead
