As CNC machinists I was trained on a CNC machine and responsible for operating and maintaining CNC machine, reviewing parts for accuracy against CAD models, and adjusting machine settings to ensure quality production. And my responsibilities include reviewing samples, drawings, or instructions to understand the specifications for the machine output, taking measurements and marking material for cutting or shaping, and planning the sequence of necessary actions for completing a job. The role include selecting appropriate machines and their positions needed for a given job, loading material for that job, determining and programming the size of batches and the machine speed needed, and monitoring machines while they are in operation to adjust the feed, maintain proper control, and identify any issues that may need correction. While inspecting finished parts to ensure they meet specifications, discarding defective outputs, maintaining accurate production records, and performing routine or corrective maintenance on machines as needed.
