• Interpret and work from blueprints, drawings, and job travelers to produce parts to specification.
• Use precision measuring instruments such as height gauges, calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, and other inspection tools to verify part dimensions.
• Troubleshoot machining issues at the machine, making appropriate offsets and adjustments to maintain tolerances.
• Set up and verify tooling, workholding, and fixtures for mills and mill-turn lathes, including live tooling where applicable.
• Maintain, handle, and use personal tools required for daily machining tasks.
• Follow established shop practices, safety procedures, and quality standards throughout all machining operations.
• Collaborate with team members, support others in the shop, and contribute to a strong team-oriented culture.
