• Blanchard grinding: rough and finish grind large flat work to thickness, flatness and parallelism; load parts on the rotary magnetic chuck and use a hoist or crane for heavy parts.
• Surface grinding: precision grind smaller parts, steps, shoulders and faces to tight size and surface finish tolerances.
• OD grinding: set up work between centers or in a chuck; grind diameters, shoulders and tapers to size, roundness, runout and finish.
• Inspect parts with micrometers, height gauges, indicators and surface finish gauges; record first-piece and in-process checks.
• Perform daily machine checks and basic maintenance (coolant, way lube, chuck condition); report machine problems to maintenance.
• Clock on and off every work order operation accurately; report labor against the correct job.
