Okuma CNC Lathe Setup Machinist

Atlas Fibre

Job Description

Job Description

Okuma CNC Lathe Setup Machinist

Company: Atlas Fibre Company

Location: Northbrook, Illinois

Shift: Second Shift

A day on the second shift

You clock in, review the job travelers, and pull up prints for the next run. The Okuma LB3000 is waiting. You mount tooling, touch off, set work and tool offsets, and run a careful first-article. Micrometers and calipers confirm diameters. A drop indicator checks runout. Height and thread gauges verify the details. The part matches the drawing—time to move into steady production.

Later in the evening, you transition to the LB4000 for a different lot. You change inserts, tweak offsets to hold tolerance, and keep a log of adjustments. When something drifts, you catch it early, correct it, and keep quality on track. Dependable, punctual, detail-obsessed—that’s how you and your team finish strong every shift.

What you’ll handle
  • Complete setups and operate Okuma LB3000 and LB4000 CNC lathes for production runs
  • Interpret engineering drawings to drive correct tooling and process choices
  • Apply and refine machine and tooling offsets; perform timely tool changes
  • Inspect in-process and finished parts to meet drawing specifications
  • Use precision metrology: micrometers, calipers, drop indicators, height gauges, and thread gauges
  • Maintain accuracy, document results, and uphold quality throughout the run
  • Show up on time and own your assignments from start to finish
What makes you successful here
  • Proven background setting up and running CNC lathes
  • Hands-on experience with Okuma LB3000 and/or LB4000
  • Fluency reading and applying engineering drawings
  • Confidence with offsets, tool presetting, and insert changes
  • Skilled in precision measurement and hand metrology
  • Consistently careful, quality-minded, dependable, and punctual
  • Available to work the second shift
Core proficiencies
  • Precision Measurement & Hand Metrology
  • Machine Setups for Production Runs
Equipment & technologies
  • Okuma LB3000 / LB4000 turning lathes
  • Okuma CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC)
