CNC Machinist

• Operate machine tools such as CNC Milling machines, lathes, saws and grinders to produce metal parts.

Use manual and computer-controlled machinery.

• Review electronic or written blueprints or specifications for a job.
• Calculate where to cut or bore.
• Shape steel, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, and other materials.
• Monitor and control feed rate and speed and determine how fast or slow workpiece is fed into machine.
• Determine how much material to remove.
• Select tools and materials for the job.
• Plan the sequence of cutting and finishing operations.
• Position workpiece on the drill press, lathe, or milling machine.
• Ensure workpiece is properly lubricated and/or cooled.
• Detect problems by listening for specific sounds.
• Adjust cutting speed to compensate for harmonic vibrations.
• Monitor the accuracy of cuts. Replace dull cutting tools.
• Check accuracy of work against blueprints and specifications.
• Produce small and large quantities of parts.
• Determine how automated equipment will cut a part.
• Concert path, speed, and feed information into set of instructions for machine tool.
• Write basic and complex programs. Modify programs if needed.
• Maintain paperwork.
• Perform all required routine and minor maintenance activities according to procedures.
• Check machine for defects and repair if necessary.
• Ensure machine is calibrated and cleaned.
• Small and large parts to be machined. Operator must be able to lift heavier parts in and out of the machine when needed.
