2ND SHIFT – 3:00 PM – 1:30 AM M-TH OVERTIME ON FRIDAYS
SUMMARY
Set-up, adjust and operate automatic screw machines, manual turret lathes and/or Modern Bar, to machine a wide variety of parts and details to close tolerance (+/- .001”) and finish requirements. Plan and make multi-tooled set-ups or chuck and fixture work. Select speed, feeds, cams, tooling arrangement and operating sequences for new, short run and standard work where procedures are not specified. Adapt standard cams and tooling; devise methods of machining unusual and special work of intricate design.
Plan and improvise multi-tooled set-ups for special work. Diagnose and remedy operating and tooling difficulties, grind tools to meet varying conditions and material. May operate more than two machines and deburr, cycles permitting. Also, occasionally set-up machines for operation by others. Work from drawings, specifications and job layouts. Use a variety of precision measuring instruments. Proceed with minimum supervision and direction. Work is subject to process and final inspection.
