Operated QPAC crank and cam polisher to polish V-6, V-8, 1790, and Hercules cams and cranks to the required specifications to be reused in the rebuild of diesel engines. Used Edmunds air gauges, micrometers, test indicators, and profilometer to inspect parts were to correct spec. Recorded info on to check sheet to be sent with each part.
Built V-6 and V-8 heads for Detroit Diesel engines. This required the heads to be visually inspected before rebuilding. Once deemed OK, specialty tools were used to rebuild heads. I also used a Rottler S8a machine to deck the heads when they needed resurfacing. I used a Peterson drill press (model TCMV-25) to finish reaming the bottom of injector tubes. Washed heads in a Pro-ceco washer, and then installed all valves and springs to complete the job.
Worked on the 1790 and Hercules cylinder rebuild line. Operated a Sunnen SV-200 CNC hone machine to rework used cylinders. The process included the use of Edmunds air gauges, pro-ceco parts washers, spring and valve installers, micrometers, calipers, profilometer, and several specialty tools. Once cylinders were complete and in spec, they were moved to the piston bay. Once there, the pistons, rings, and cylinders were checked as a complete assembly and mated together for installation at the engine line. Edmund air gauges, gauge pins, feeler gauges, micrometers, and calipers are all used for this inspection of pistons and mating to cylinders.
Operated a Cincinnati Gilbert CNC boring mill to rework parts. I set up and hung all necessary tooling to do the job. Used depth mics, mics, test indicator, and other precision instruments to ensure accuracy. Once parts were machined, I used the CMM to check all dimensions that I machined. Machine control was FANUC.
I've operated Do All band saws, Winona Van Norman belt sander and grinders, and hydraulic presses.
Set up and ran a Monarch manual lathe. Used blueprints to make parts to print.
Set up and ran a Monarch manual lathe. Used blueprints to make parts to print.
Set up and ran a Bridgeport mill with EZ Vision CNC controller. Set X, Y, and Z zeros for job I was doing. Hung and touched off all tooling. Called programs up and made sure it was correct. Used calipers, mics, blade mics, and indicator to check dimensions on parts. Made offset adjustments as needed due to tool wear. Changed dull or broken tooling. Also used the same machine as a manual mill for less complex jobs.
Set up, programmed, and operated an Okuma LB 4000EX II space turn CNC lathe. Took to machine and installed either chuck jaws or collect to machine parts. Touched all tools off on the pre-setter in the machine. I used IGF programming to draw and generate what I needed to be done to the part. Used turning tools, inserted drills, threading tools, grooving tools, and cut-off tools. Used programmable tailstock when it was needed to machine parts. Made offsets to tooling and zero sets to keep parts in tolerance. I was in a job shop environment when running this machine, so multiple setups in one day were common.
Operated manual lathes (American) and manual mills (Bridgeport) with DRO on them. Responsible for setup and correct choice of tooling to machine parts.
Operated Jet Edge Waterjet machine. Had to use a CAM program to load parts and nest them onto a sheet to be cut out.

I can program the CMM machine to a blueprint for precision checks to be performed on parts. I have attended both beginner and intermediate classes for programming the CMM through LK metrology. I passed both classes and have been used numerous times in building 474 and 475 to inspect and program parts. I've worked side by side with LK programmers on multiple occasions.
I have set up machines for other employees and then trained them on the correct way to operate the machine. Also, have trained employees on using precision measuring equipment to record all required dimensions and to ensure they were in tolerance.
I can repair, rebuild, and overhaul maintenance mission items such as combat vehicles, optical instruments, artillery weapons, small arm weapons, and missile guidance systems. I can make parts from sample parts, drawings, and oral instructions. I can use blueprints to determine dimensions, shapes, and type of material.
I have used prints with many views, such as front, side, top, bottom, and cut-away views, to determine missing dimensions/angles. I have used algebra, geometry, and trigonometric formulas to help me figure out different angles, compounds, and dimensions that were not given in print specifications. I can break a blueprint down into each detail if necessary and make each detail according to print specifications, knowing how to assemble each part upon finishing. I'm very familiar with military, metric, and standard blueprints. I have designed and machined tools and dies to do special jobs that ordinarily could not be done with conventional tools. I have made all types of welding fixtures, gauges, machine fixtures, and a wide variety of combat vehicle parts while working in the machine shop. I have applied shop mathematics, such as geometry, to compute angles, ratios, and tapers, and perform machine work that requires the use of special conventional machine tools or the use of non-conventional machine tools to complete the fabrication of parts, fixtures, and assemblies in my assignments.
I find information in technical manuals and DMWR to manufacture parts to correct configuration and tolerances. I can set up and run all types of conventional machinery, such as lathes, vertical and horizontal boring mills, Bridgeport Mills, ID and OD grinders, radial drills, vertical lathes, hones, surface grinders, and hydraulic presses. I can determine the machine and tooling, or make the tooling if not available, needed to build, rebuild, or overhaul any part fixtures or assemblies brought into the shop to get them back in operation.
I can maintain dimensional accuracy during machining processes using precision measuring instruments, such as universal protractors, height gauges, inside and outside micrometers, depth gauges, calipers, dial bore gauges, surface and angle plates, scales, dividers, scribes, dial indicators, intra mics, sine bars, visual comparators, profilometer, hardness tester, measuring wires and rolls, thread micrometers, measuring projectors, and comparators, plug/ring/snap gauges, and other precision tools. I am capable of working within .0001 tolerances. I can perform the task of a machinist with no supervision, choose tools and techniques independently, and perform final inspections, completing the final documents. I perform all work in accordance and compliance with TMs, DMWRs, SPOs, blueprints, and other military specifications.
I use precision measuring equipment, air and power tools, grinders, torque tools, air wrenches, pliers, hammers, sockets, air ratchets, screwdrivers, dies, taps, thread files, Allen keys, tanker bars, pry bars, sanders, safety wire pliers, ratchets, combination wrenches, and other tools of the machinist trade.
I use pneumatic presses to remove and replace bearings and sleeves, hoists to lift housings and components, heating torches to remove seized parts, taps, dies, and helical inserts to repair damaged threads, and all common tools, air, and electrical impacts.
Working as a repairer has taught me the importance of optimum product quality. I wear safety goggles, glasses, face shields, gloves, coveralls, and other types of face and body protectors as required. I have incorporated the LEAN Manufacturing Theory, ISO standards, and ergonomic adjustments into my daily routine.
I utilize shop mathematics, handbook formulas, work order drawings, blueprints, trigonometry, and geometry to plan and lay out work. I adjust speeds and feeds of machinery and determine coolants, lubricants, or abrasives to be used. I perform duties associated with precision measuring and verifying critical dimensions and tolerances, ranging from .002 to .0005 of an inch, on reusable machined components of complex end items. By examining and studying fabrication sketches, engineering drawings, layouts, blueprints, and actual components to be measured, determine the required repair or modification procedures necessary. Components that are less complex, I measure by conventional devices such as micrometers, dial calipers, optical comparators, and hardness indicators, which must be checked for calibration daily by me to keep a true reading.
I'm able to identify and retrieve various types of material to accomplish the work, such as plastics, hot and cold rolled steels (1018, 1020, 4130, 4140), aluminum (6061, 5058), bearing bronze, armor plating, stainless steel (303, 410, 416, 17-4ph), Monel, and brass. I also independently operate and set up CNC Mills, lathes, and other types of computer operate fabrication machines such as electrical wire cutting machine, abrasive water jet cutting machines. I also independently operate and set conventional machines, such as horizontal and vertical mills and lathes, boring mills, various types of manuals and CNC grinding equipment, drill presses, and hones.
