The Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) Surface Grinder Set Up Machinist position is responsible for setting up Horizontal Mills from an unfurnished state and running production parts. Typical tolerance peak is +/-.0001 to +/-.002” on critical features per drawing.

This is accomplished through the following essential functions:

• Read prints and set up sheets to prepare the tooling necessary to set up and run parts.

• Load tooling and programs, then verify the machine is ready to produce.

• Prepare area and stage material, then validate all requirements prior to running the initial part.

• Load and remove material in CNC machine.

• Use measuring instruments including calipers, micrometers, gauge pins, etc., to check parts as they come off the machine.

• Identify parts that deviate from standard specifications.

• Run multiple machines, when necessary.

• Adjust offsets.

• Problem solve when programs are not producing desired results.

• Follow both verbal instructions and internal procedures that will be taught.
