Job Duties
- Operate assigned CNC mill-turn machines to perform turning, milling, drilling, boring, and related machining operations in accordance with approved programs, routers, and work instructions.
- Read and follow blueprints, operation drawings, setup sheets, and inspection plans; understand part orientation, critical dimensions, datum relationships, and applicable geometric tolerances before machining.
- Load and unload material and workpieces using approved chucks, jaws, fixtures, supports, and lifting devices.
- Confirm part seating, clamping, and safe clearance before starting a cycle.
- Monitor coordinated machine functions such as main/sub-spindle operation and part transfer, upper/lower turret activity, live tooling, and B-, C-, or Y-axis movement, as equipped.
- Recognize potential tool, turret, spindle, and workpiece interference.
- Verify proper workpiece location and secure gripping during automated spindle transfers or secondary operations when applicable; stop and notify supervision if alignment or clamping is in question.
- Check tool condition, insert wear, tool seating, and tooling identification.
- Replace approved inserts or tools and make authorized wear-offset adjustments within documented limits; refer major corrections to qualified personnel.
- Monitor cycle performance for alarms, abnormal sounds, vibration, chatter, poor surface finish, dimensional drift, coolant problems, chip buildup, and unexpected motion; stop and escalate concerns promptly.
- Complete first-piece, in-process, and final inspections as required, including inspections after tool changes or process interruptions, and document actual results on the specified forms.
- Use calibrated measuring equipment such as micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, indicators, and other approved gauges; request additional inspection support when required.
- Follow material identification, serialization, lot traceability, tagging, and nonconformance procedures.
- Keep accepted, held, and rejected parts properly identified and segregated.
- Record production quantities, scrap/rework, downtime, tool changes, and other required job data; follow established cycle-time expectations without sacrificing safety or quality.
- Perform routine operator-level machine checks, including coolant condition/level, lubrication indications, chip removal, and general housekeeping, according to the preventive maintenance checklist.
- Support authorized setup personnel during changeovers, tool verification, and process troubleshooting; do not independently alter programs, critical offsets, or machine settings without approval.
- Maintain a clean and orderly machine and surrounding work area.
- Follow safe chip-handling, guarding, lifting, and machine-access practices at all times.
- Communicate production status, quality concerns, unfinished work, and machine issues to the supervisor and incoming shift; perform other duties as assigned.
