CNC Milling Setup Machinist

Step into a day where precision is the point

As our CNC Milling Setup Machinist, you’ll open the shift by reviewing travelers and blueprints, planning the setup that will turn raw stock into parts that meet exacting specifications. You’ll select the right fixtures and cutters, home the machine, set work and tool offsets, and bring programs online at the control. A careful dry run leads to a first-article check, where your micrometers, calipers, and height gages confirm that features align with GD&T callouts.

Through the run, you’ll make smart adjustments to hold tolerances and keep the work area organized and safe.
