Step into the Toolroom
Picture your day starting at a spotless bench, blueprint in hand. You choose material for a new calibrator, load the Wire EDM, and generate a clean toolpath in your CAD/CAM software. After dialing in offsets on a 3–4 axis VMC, you wrap up by mentoring a teammate on metrology best practices—all while keeping the toolroom organized and safe. If that sounds like your kind of shift, you’ll thrive here.
