years of professional experience
CNC Machinist with 9 years of experience in lathes, vertical mills, horizontal mills, and 5 axis. Skilled at improving part quality through precise setup and calibration. Regularly reducing machinist errors by verifying fixtures, probing tool offsets, and inspecting first articles to meet tolerances. Often seeks to apply process control and mentorship to raise shop output and consistency.
Work History
CNC Machinist set up 1
9 Years 9 Months- Set up CNC lathe programs from print, verified tool offsets with a Renishaw probe to meet tolerances.
- Inspected first articles with micrometers and CMM checklist, rejected parts that missed print callouts.
- Calibrated turret and tailstock using test cuts, reduced chatter and improved surface finish.
- Calculated cutting parameters for HSS and carbide inserts, extended insert life across mixed batches.
- Coordinated with maintenance to replace worn spindles during planned downtime, restored runout to spec.
- Created step-by-step setup sheets for frequent jobs, shortened setup variance between operators.
- Trained new machinists on safe machine startup, tool change procedures, and print interpretation.
- Verified fixture alignment with dial indicators and test cuts, eliminating concentricity deviations.
- Implemented tool-change checklist reducing incorrect insert installation and repeat setup errors.
- Trained junior machinists on reading blueprints and interpreting GD&T callouts for consistent parts.
- Conducted root-cause analysis on recurring burrs and modified finishing passes to remove defects.
- Managed job documentation and revision control so operators always ran latest print revisions.
- Adjusted feed rates and spindle speeds to stop chatter and preserve carbide insert edges.
- Built custom soft jaws for irregular blanks, cut cycle time and reduced secondary grinding.
- Set up CNC mills and lathes, selected tooling and fixtures for precise production runs
- communicated problems and updates to coworkers and qc staff for improvements
- Verified appropriate paper to be signed off and moved forward
- Efficient in sanding, cutting, drilling, boring, reaming, tapping, turning, milling, spot drilling, and shearing.
- I can verify and read blueprints and drawings
- Efficient in calipers, mics, indicators, depth gauges, pin gauges, thread gauges, radius gauges and tolerance gauges.
- Verified and corrected tolerances up to a millionth of an inch
- Recorded temperatures and adjusted accordingly
- Waited for compounds to cure and try
