Summary

I am an experienced CNC Turner/ Setter/ Operator having been mainly employed in the Aerospace, Motorsports and Oil and Gas sectors. I have operated a variety of machines from 2 axis to 5 axis mainly using Fanuc, Mazatrol, Okuma and Siemens control systems maintaining high production and quality standards. Although my programming experience is limited to 2 axis lathes I am fully capable of reading and editing CNC programs. I'm happy to work either a day or night shift (I prefer nights though).
