Performed 1st part inspection for all levels of CNC Milling operations. Suggested adjustments for bringing individual operations to achieve in tolerance manufacturing. Wrote fabrication deviation reports when production exceeded specific requirements. Or out of tolerance conditions.

Relayed information for 2nd and 3rd shifts to follow-up on.

Was effective in all aspects of layout inspection. Using various hand gauges and equipment. Prior to the introduction of a CMM to the manufacturing environment. Was trained to do all inspections Using traditional methods with surface plate and height stands.

Can read vernier scales. Had successfully used a pie tape accurately to determine Diameter sizes.

Skilled with sensitive indicators and optical comparator. Understanding different factors of magnifying to find accurately sizes and radius positions. I have actually maintained some of the tools needed for accurately doing bench inspection.
