CNC Milling Setup Specialist

You arrive to a clean, organized cell, power up the CNC mill, and review the day’s work orders. You’ll load the job, select the right fixtures and cutting tools, touch off, verify work and tool offsets, and run a first article. Using micrometers, verniers, and gauges, you’ll confirm every critical dimension meets tolerance before releasing the run. Throughout the shift you’ll monitor tool wear, fine‑tune feeds and speeds, and keep production flowing while safeguarding quality.
