Job Description
Looking for a solid shop where your setup skills are respected, and the work is steady? This is a hands‑on CNC lathe role in a busy, close‑tolerance machining environment. You'll work with good equipment, do real setups, and help keep production moving for customers in automotive, ag, defense, and other industrial markets. What You'll Be Doing Set up and run CNC lathes for production parts (repeat jobs and short runs). Do tool changes, touch‑offs, and offset adjustments to hold tight tolerances. Read blueprints and job travelers so parts are made right the first time. Run parts from Mastercam programs (editing is a plus, not a must). Check your own work using micrometers, calipers, and gauges. Help out on other machines (including mills) when needed to keep jobs on schedule. Help solve basic problems with tooling, setup, and part quality. Keep your area clean, safe, and organized. What We Need From You Experience setting up and operating CNC lathes in a production shop. Able to handle your own tool changes, touch‑offs, and offsets without constant supervision. Comfortable reading blueprints and basic GD&T. Know how to use micrometers, calipers, and other measuring tools. Some experience with Mastercam programs (you don't have to be a programmer). Experience with different metals/alloys is a plus. Any CNC milling experience is a plus. Show up on time, pay attention to details, and take pride in quality work. Nice to Have Close‑tolerance CNC lathe setup experience. Background in automotive, agriculture, defense, heavy equipment, steel, or aluminum parts. Multi‑axis machining experience. If you're a CNC lathe machinist who likes doing real setups, making good parts, and being part of a solid team, we'd like to hear from you. Apply today with your resume or work history.
