Level Two machinist:
Builds upon level one, with minimal assistance, level two machinists operate 2‑5 axis CNC/Automated machine cells as well as standalone machines. They must set up fixtures and cutting tools, load and adjust CNC programs and offsets, and perform basic quality inspection using tools such as height gauges and air gauges. They read basic prints and apply common CNC G and M codes.
