CNC Machine Operator

You set the vice or the chuck, load the tools from the list on the job card, run the first piece and measure it with a caliper and a micrometer before the series starts. During the run you check every tenth piece, correct the offset when a dimension drifts and write the measurement in the control sheet. Tool wear is reported to the setter, and the machine is cleaned and the chips cleared at the end of the shift. Two shifts run 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00 with a weekly rotation.
