Pinewood Tool is a family owned, high-precision job shop, and we're hiring a Precision Grinder to join our first shift. You'll handle surface and OD grinding on tooling and components for short-run, tight-tolerance work where flatness, parallelism, concentricity, and finish all need to be right the first time.

This is a hands-on role for someone who takes pride in reading a print, picking the right wheel, dressing it well, and bringing parts in to spec.

What you'll do

Surface (flat) grinding to hold flatness and parallelism

OD grinding to hold concentricity and runout

Fine surface-finish control to print specification

Work to Pinewood's capability of holding tolerances to .0001″

Set up your own jobs, select and dress wheels, and perform in-process inspection

Machine from blueprints, applying GD&T

Take ownership of your work and stand behind the result

What we're looking for

10+ years of precision grinding experience in a toolroom or short-run job shop

Hands-on experience with precision hand grinders, spin fixtures and wet grinders

Demonstrated ability to hold tight tolerances on flatness, parallelism, concentricity, and runout

Strong wheel selection and dressing skills across materials and finishes

Solid blueprint reading and applied GD&T knowledge

Comfortable with standard toolroom metrology — micrometers, indicators, height gauges, surface plates, surface-finish testers

High school diploma or equivalent

Detail-oriented, dependable, and team-minded — a fit for our culture of ownership, attention to detail, continuous improvement, and teamwork

The shop and the schedule

First shift, 8-hour days, full-time, in person

Clean, air-conditioned facility

Small-team environment where your work is visible and valued

Salary is based on experience
