Turning/Lathe Machinist

ARCH•Flushing, MI

2d•Onsite

About The Position

This role involves setting up and operating CNC Lathes. The machinist will manage tooling life, adjust, change offsets, and modify programs as needed. A key responsibility is interpreting blueprints to ensure parts are machined to specifications. The job also requires following procedures to set up fixturing, cutting tools, and other support equipment for machining parts. A general understanding of applying cutting tools, calculating feeds, speeds, and depths of cut is necessary. The machinist must be able to read and interpret CNC G-code and programming languages, as well as understand and modify CNC work offsets, tool radius offsets, and other parameters for CNC toolpath. Proficiency in using calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, and other quality control devices is essential for adjusting programs and tool parameters to achieve quality standards. Maintaining machine preventive maintenance and cleanliness, along with keeping the surrounding work area clean and organized, are also part of the role.
