What a day looks like

You’ll begin by reviewing blueprints, process sheets, tooling instructions, and standard charts to confirm specifications. You’ll enter job data into our ERP system, then set up and dial in two different grinders in your area—CNC and/or manual, handling ID, OD, centerless, and facing operations. Throughout the run, you’ll verify dimensions with gauges and related measuring tools, calibrate preset gauges as needed, compute speeds/feeds/cycle times, and keep a sharp eye on part quality. You’ll document results, inspect your own work (and occasionally a teammate’s), and keep your cell clean, organized, and safe. When the schedule calls for it, you’ll run multiple machines and use hand tools or manual machines to complete the job.
