Note: Position is for 2nd or 3rd shift

A Machinist Master operator performs a wide range of duties including intermediate to complex set ups, adjustment, and operation of CNC and/or manual Machine Tools.

Scope and Responsibilities:

Essential duties include, but are not limited to the following:

• Proactively attains a safe and healthy work environment for all employees.
• Set up, adjust, and operate CNC machining centers to perform a complex series of machining operations on a diversified line of work. Work to very close and exacting tolerances and finish specifications. Work requires a high degree of skill, and a broad knowledge of machining techniques and N/C machining practices.
• Setups involve familiarity with and understanding of program formats involving combinations of operations such as profile and contour milling, boring, recessing, turning, drilling, threading, etc., to the capacity of the machine and control factor.
• Work from program operational data and setup instructions defining and coding tools, fixtures and material clamping methods, machine calibrations, and console settings. Select tooling. Locate, mount, align and secure. Support and clamp workpiece; set stops and calibrate fixture or workpiece to material reference points. As indicated, perform minor disassembles to perform interior operations. Assemble. Position and remove work by means of bridge cra0ne or electric hoists.
• Install programs when available in console reader and correlate machine position with control; manually cycle machine through operation sequence to check work alignment, tooling sequences, clearances, speeds, feeds, etc., and adjust the machine to correct. Recognize and report errors in programming and operations, and work with systems and programming personnel to correct such errors; recommend tooling applications and operational sequences to assist in formulating practical programming for new and unusual machining operations.
• May occasionally demonstrate to customers the operation and machine capacity, on production or customer parts. Occasionally requested to demonstrate machine in customer plants. Diagnose operating difficulties and make appropriate adjustments to realign machine, change tooling, etc., to correct operations or dimensional deviations. Work from complicated drawings, specifications, programming setup instructions and data. Use micrometers, scale, protractor, bo1re gages, Vernier’s, surface gauges, indicators, etc., to make setups and check work.
• Work is subject to inspection process.
• Proceed with a minimum of supervision. Operator must be alert to operations. Detect and report any unusual conditions, defective material or machine malfunctions and report to supervision. Maintain work area in a clean, productive and orderly manners. Perform other related duties as directed.
