Job Description
Here is a comprehensive list of job duties tailored specifically for a CNC Operator running a Breton Combicut (which combines a traditional diamond disk saw and a waterjet) in a precision countertop fabrication shop. You can use these to flesh out or refine your job description:
Machinery Operation & Setup Dual-Technology Operation:
Setup, calibrate, and operate the Breton Combicut, managing both the diamond disk saw cutting and the precision waterjet cutting functionalities. Material Handling:
Safe loading and unloading of natural stone, quartz, porcelain, and ultra-compact slabs onto the machine bed using vacuum lifters, jib cranes, or forklifts. Tooling Management:
Monitor, change, and maintain appropriate tooling (saw blades, waterjet nozzles, mixing chambers, and abrasive focus tubes). Consumable Monitoring:
Monitor garnet abrasive levels and water pressure systems to ensure uninterrupted waterjet operation. Programming & DXF Integration File Upload & Adjustment:
Import, open, and manipulate digital template files (DXF/DWG) using Breton software or compatible CAM systems. Slab Nesting:
Efficiently nest countertop pieces on digital slab photos to maximize material yield, match veins/patterns, and avoid natural slab defects (fissures, pits). Parameter Calibration:
Set correct cutting speeds, feed rates, and waterjet pressures based on the specific material thickness and hardness (e.g., Granite vs. Quartzite vs. Porcelain). Quality Control & Precision Blueprint & Shop Drawing Interpretation:
Carefully read and interpret detailed fabrication shop drawings, seam layouts, sink cutouts, and edge profiles to ensure exact execution. Precision Measurement:
Utilize calipers, tape measures, and squares to inspect finished pieces against shop drawings, maintaining strict tolerance levels (typically within $1/16$ inch or less). First-Piece Inspection:
Conduct quality checks on the initial cuts of a run to verify machine calibration and alignment. Maintenance & Safety Daily Maintenance:
Perform routine daily maintenance on the Breton system, including cleaning the machine bed, clearing stone scrap, checking lubrication levels, and ensuring water filtration systems are functioning. Troubleshooting:
Identify and troubleshoot minor mechanical, software, or cutting errors to minimize machine downtime; report complex technical issues to management or maintenance technicians. Workspace Safety:
Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free work area around the CNC machinery, strictly adhering to OSHA guidelines regarding dust suppression, eye/ear protection, and wet-environment safety. Team Collaboration Production Flow:
Work seamlessly alongside digital templaters, sawyers, and hand finishers to ensure a smooth, efficient workflow from slab selection to final detailing. Abrasive & Part Management:
Assist in tracking consumable inventory (blades, garnet, orifices) so replacements are ordered before stock runs out. Would you like me to help integrate these specific duties seamlessly into the text of your current job draft? Pay:
$1,000.00 - $1,800.00 per week Work Location:
