Job Description

Join Our Turning Team in Tonawanda, NY

Picture your first week: you power up a Fanuc-controlled lathe, verify tooling offsets, load a proven program, then fine‑tune feeds and speeds to hit a mirror finish on a hydraulic piston. You review the blueprint, interpret GD&T callouts, and validate size with micrometers and bore gauges. When a fixture squeaks, you diagnose and correct the minor mechanical issue, keeping production moving and quality tight.

What You’ll Do

Set up, operate, and optimize CNC lathes to produce precision-turned components.
Edit programs at the control using Fanuc and G/M code to achieve target tolerances and finishes.
Interpret engineering drawings and GD&T to plan machining strategy and in-process checks.
Calculate feeds/speeds and perform shop math, including metric conversions.
Use micrometers, dial indicators, bore gauges, and other metrology tools for advanced inspection.
Troubleshoot and resolve minor equipment/fixturing issues; perform routine maintenance.
Handle basic computer tasks, including file transfers for programs and tooling data.

Work You'll Tackle

Precision parts such as hydraulic cylinders, shafts, rods, tubes, pistons, and bushings.

What You Bring

3+ years of CNC lathe setup and operation experience.
Program editing with Fanuc controls or strong G/M code proficiency.
Blueprint reading with a firm grasp of GD&T.
Hands-on experience with micrometers, bore gauges, and dial indicators.
Preferred: background machining hydraulic components and related turned parts.

Tech & Machines

CNC Lathe (2–4 axis)
CNC Lathe (5+ axis)

Core proficiencies: GD&T, CNC Programming, G-Code, M-Code, CNC Machine Setup & Changeover, Advanced Inspection & Gauge Measurement.
