Job Description

PURPOSE:

Perform close tolerance production machining. Setup and operate all machine tools including CNC and numerical controlled and tracing equipment to perform machining operations such as turning, boring, milling, etc.

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:

• Obtain job assignments from Supervisor or Production Planner.
• Obtain process sheets and tooling and/or blueprints and templates.
• Determine setup required
• Interpret blueprints or sketches and process sheets to determine machine and set up required.
• Set up work in machine, using hoist or hand-controlled overhead crane.
• May require assistance on heavier pieces.
• Measure and mark area to be machined.
• Set controls to operate at proper feed, speed, and depth of cut, etc. and use coolants as required.
• Use precision measuring instruments such as micrometers, level protractors, squares, verniers, gauge blocks, dial bore gauges, depth gauges, profileometers and vidi-gauges in setting up and machining work to required tolerances.
• Check dimensions against process sheets, blueprints, or sketches or with template, to ensure that work is done to required specifications.
• Stamp and record heat code, serial numbers or other required numbers that have been removed in machining process.
• Maintain machine and work area to be clean and in orderly condition.
• Notify Supervisor or Leader of any improper operation of machines.
• Perform related duties as directed

KNOWLEDGE AND TRAINING:

Requires use of job knowledge acquired over a two-year period to set up and operate all Die Machines. Must read and interpret blueprints, sketches, and process sheets.
