Precision CNC Turning Machinist

A day on the floor

You start your shift with a blueprint and a plan. You review the print, load the correct NC program, and select the right combination of expendable and permanent tooling for the job. After dialing in offsets on the turning center, you cut the first piece and verify dimensions with micrometers, calipers, and gauges. Once the part meets every requirement on the print, you document first-piece and in-process checks on the Job Traveler and related paperwork.

As the run progresses, you keep production moving—logging setup and run times and other key metrics in the E-2 reporting system, and capturing any scrap or rework labor as it occurs. You maintain an orderly workstation, managing chips and excess material responsibly. When Internal Auditors stop by for Quality Management System (QMS) audits, you provide clear, accurate records and support. Throughout the day, you live the company’s Quality Policies and Objectives and suggest improvements that make the next run even better.
