Precision CNC Lathe/Mill Machinist -- Rotating Equipment Components

Shape performance-critical parts that keep energy and industry moving

Picture the start of your shift: you review a complex print, map out your approach, select cutters, set offsets, and bring a Mazak or HAAS to life. You turn metals and plastics to exacting tolerances, verify first-article results, and adjust speeds and feeds to coax flawless finishes. Along the way, you catch drawing discrepancies, apply GD&T, and, when needed, serve as the final inspector before parts reach our customers.
