Summary

  • After 25 years in this industry, I am a self-sufficient, motivated machinist that strives in a challenging environment. I am very proficient in my craft. Machine set-up times are fast and accurate and have exceptional skills in machining exotic materials such as 316 Stainless, Inconel, Duplex, Super Duplex, Hastelloy and Safurex, along with R&D type of work, all of which are considered "one shot " items. My defect rate is under 1/10 of a percent in the 10 years at current employer. Proficient in Fanuc controls but can adapt to other equipment quickly. I have some experience in running a vertical and horizontal mill, but my expertise is on a Lathe. I can also read and edit programs and make allowed changes to streamline the production process.

Some other duties include:

  • Training newly hired employees in the importance of

job safety and shop operation.

  • Familiarization and operation of machine along with the production process and material traceability.
  • Reading and understanding of blue prints, the use of precision measuring equipment and to also check the calibration of measuring equipment.
  • Properly offset machines to maintain given tolerances in the machining process.
  • Answering any questions that may arise during their employment.
