BSI participates in E-Verify

Established in 1961, Babbitting Service, Inc. (BSI) is a leader in the manufacture, design, and repair of Hydrodynamic Fluid Film Bearings (Babbitt-Lined Bearings) and related components. BSI serves OEMs, aftermarket customers, and end users across the globe.

BSI is looking for skilled CNC Lathe Machinists who can work independently in our high-mix, low-volume job-shop environment.

This is not an apprentice-level or production-operator position. We need skilled machinists who can independently set up and run CNC lathes, write and edit CNC programs at the machine control, manage tooling, workholding, and offsets, inspect their own work, and recognize and correct machining problems.

We are looking for experienced CNC machinists. Demonstrated machining ability, judgment, and problem-solving skills matter more to us than a specific number of years in the trade.

CNC Lathe Machinist Job Responsibilities:

• Set up and run Doosan and DN Solutions CNC lathes with Fanuc controls.
• Write, edit, and adjust CNC programs at the machine control as needed.
• Set work offsets and adjust tool and wear offsets as needed to maintain part dimensions and tolerances.
• Install tooling and set up workholding, including cutting jaws as needed.
• Verify first-run parts meet drawing requirements.
• Inspect cutting tools and inserts and replace or adjust them as needed.
• Produce parts within required tolerances and specifications, commonly around .001" and occasionally as close as .0005".
• Measure parts for conformance to specifications using micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, gauge pins, bore gauges, and other appropriate measuring tools.
• Adjust machine speeds and feeds as needed for the work being performed.
• Upload and download CNC programs to and from the program server.
• Make program changes as needed for drawing revisions or job requirements.
• Identify problems and make appropriate corrections as needed.
• Keep the work area safe, clean, and organized.
