CNC Milling (3-Axis) & Conventional Milling (Con-M)

• Perform final cuts on complex parts with a high degree of accuracy.
• Set up workpieces for machining operations in accordance with part specifications.
• Conduct tool setup using a tool presetter to ensure precision and reduce setup time.

Conventional Turning (Con-T)

• Operate conventional turning machines to perform ID/OD turning, grooving, facing, and threading operations.
• Maintain part accuracy and surface finish within tight tolerances.
• Execute precision turning processes to meet critical specifications.

CNC Milling (4 & 5-Axis) / Turn-Mill (TMD)

• Set up and operate multi-axis CNC machines and turn-mill centers for complex part machining.
• Follow advanced machining strategies to meet stringent dimensional and surface finish requirements.

G-code Programming

• Able to do programming independently on CNC Milling (3, 4 & 5-Axis) machine.

Quality Inspection & Maintenance

• Conduct in-process inspections using vernier callipers and micrometres to ensure dimensional accuracy.
• Measure and verify completed workpieces before proceeding to the next process or workstation.
• Perform routine maintenance on machines to ensure optimal functionality and reduce unplanned downtime.
