CNC Setup​/Programming Machinist — Milling & Turning

Own the part, start to finish

Picture your first-shift morning in a Dayton-area precision shop: you grab the print, choose tooling, set your work offsets, and bring a tough Inconel job to life. You prove the first article, make smart edits at the control, and run tight-tolerance parts while checking features with mics, indicators, and calipers. You’re not waiting for someone else’s setup—you’re the person who takes it from blueprint to finished piece.
