Run first-article and in-process inspections; use micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and indicators. Hit and hold tolerances commonly within ±0.002 inches. Swap inserts, change tooling/fixtures, and correct chatter, wear, or size issues. Keep machines clean and on a preventive maintenance schedule. Document production runs and quality checks. Machines & Controls Turning centers: 2-axis to multi-axis, including live tooling configurations.
