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.
