CNC/Manual Lathe Toolmaker — Injection & Extrusion Screws Santa Fe Machine Inc - 1.0 Fontana, CA Job Details $22 - $32 an hour 7 hours ago Qualifications Mechanical blueprint interpretation Measurement-based inspection Machine setup Equipment setup (production tasks) Machining tool setup Mid-level Metal materials Dimensional measurements Production in-process inspection CNC quality inspection Precision measurement in machining Following blueprint specifications CNC G-code Programming Machine adjustment Milling machines Machine finishing Equipment adjustment (production tasks) Full Job Description Your Mission Create high-precision screws that power plastic manufacturing equipment. You'll transform alloy steel, tool steel, and high-temperature alloys like Inconel into critical components ranging from about 1" OD x 20" long to 10" OD x 25' long. How You'll Execute At a Fryer CNC lathe with a Siemens control, you'll handle setup, on-machine conversational programming, machining, deburring, and inspection. You'll rely on prints and detailed instructions, yet the work is deeply interactive—adjustments are common, and restarting a program mid-operation is part of delivering exacting results. A Quick Scenario You rough, measure, and notice a slight deviation. You recalibrate offsets, edit the conversational path, and restart mid-program to recover tolerances. You finish, deburr, verify dimensions, and move to the next one-off build. That's the rhythm—precision, ownership, and adaptability. Work Mix Most parts are single-piece builds; even "production" typically tops out at five. When the workflow shifts, you may jump onto a conventional knee mill, a horizontal boring mill, or a manual lathe to keep projects moving. Core Competencies CNC programming expertise Proven CNC setup and changeover capability Strong manual machining fundamentals Equipment & Technology Fryer CNC Lathe (2-4 axis) with Siemens control CAM software Conventional knee mills, horizontal boring mills, and manual lathes What Sets This Role Apart This is not a start-to-finish-at-the-push-of-a-button environment. Precision comes from your thought process, measurements, and mid-stream decisions—every part, every time.
