Precision CNC Lathe & Mill Machinist — Aerospace Bearings

Shape the Future of Motion at Timken | Aurora Bearing Facility Picture your afternoon beginning on the shop floor where precision is the standard. You review a print, choose the right arbor and tooling, and bring bar stock to life—turning, facing, chamfering, grooving, and drilling to exact I.D./O.D. specs. You verify the first-piece, record the results for set-up approval, and keep production humming with in-process checks and smart adjustments.

Fluids are topped off, machines are dialed in, and when needed, you surface-grind and re-sharpen arbor teeth to keep quality on point. That’s a day in the life of a CNC Machinist at Timken’s Aurora Bearing facility.
