Job Summary: CNC Machine Operator responsible for setup, operation, monitoring, quality control, and basic maintenance for part production. Key Highlights: 1. Full involvement in CNC machine operations, including setup and measurement 2. Focus on metrology and wear compensation for precision 3. Responsibility for basic maintenance and workplace organization Job Responsibilities: 1\. Setup * **Reading Technical Drawings:** Interprets dimensions, angles, and tolerances of the part on paper or screen. * **Workpiece Fixturing:** Secures raw material (bars, sheets, or blocks) onto the machine table or lathe chuck, ensuring no movement occurs. * **Tooling Assembly:** Selects and installs cutting tools (drills, end mills, inserts) into tool holders or magazines. * **Zero Setting:** Defines the "Part Zero" and "Tool Zero", informing the machine precisely where the material begins in 3D space. 2\.
