Grinder Machinist

$62.4k
We are looking for a detail-oriented Precision Machinist to join our team in a dual-capacity role. This position offers the best of both worlds: the high-stakes precision of surface grinding and the fast-paced production of CNC milling.

You will spend 50% of your time mastering finishes on our Okamoto 1224 DX and the other 50% driving productivity on our Haas Vertical Machining Centers. If you are a technician who takes pride in holding "tenths" on a grinder but also enjoys the logic and efficiency of a Haas control, we want to hear from you.

salary: $62,400 - $83,200 per year
shift: First
work hours: 7 AM - 3:30 PM
education: High School

Responsibilities

Surface Grinding (Okamoto 1224 DX)

  • Precision Setups: Set up and operate the Okamoto 1224 DX to achieve exacting tolerances
  • Wheel Management: Select, dress, and balance appropriate grinding wheels based on material type and required surface finish (RMS).
  • Magnetic Chuck Mastery: Utilize magnetic chucks and sine plates for grinding flat, parallel, and angled surfaces.
  • In-Process Inspection: Perform frequent checks using micrometers, height gauges, and profilometers to ensure parts meet blueprint specifications.

CNC Milling (Haas Vertical Machining Centers)

  • Machine Operation: Load programs, set tool offsets, and establish work coordinates (G54-G59) on Haas VMC platforms.
  • Tooling & Hardware: Select and install appropriate carbide end mills, drills, and taps; swap out worn inserts as necessary.
  • Cycle Monitoring: Monitor the machining process for "chatter," tool wear, or chip evacuation issues, adjusting feeds and speeds via the Haas control when necessary.
  • Deburring & Finishing: Clean and deburr parts during the machining cycle to maintain a steady workflow.

The essential functions of this role include:
  • working in a smoke free environment
