Precision Manual Lathe and Milling Machinist

Mi-Tech Metals

Job Description

Job Description

Build precision parts that power critical applications

At Mi-Tech Tungsten Metals, you’ll own your setup and run from start to finish. In this hands-on role, you’ll independently produce tight-tolerance metal components—executing cutting, drilling, milling, boring, and broaching directly from work orders, blueprints, drawings, templates, and layouts.

A day in this role
  • Set up and run manual lathes without supervision, including changing chucks and dialing in machine heads.
  • Sweep tables, indicate vises and workpieces, and verify alignment before first cut.
  • Interpret mechanical drawings and technical documents to plan the sequence of operations.
  • Perform OD/ID turning, tapping, threading, and reaming with consistent accuracy.
  • Carry out face, angular, form, straddle, and gang milling using the right attachments and tooling.
  • Apply indexing methods—direct, plain/simple, compound, differential, and angular—calculating divisions as needed.
  • Select and use milling accessories: arbors, adapters, collets, vises, rotary/circular tables, indexing heads and tailstocks, and vertical milling attachments.
  • Coordinate and oversee complex machining operations to meet throughput and quality targets.
What you’ll bring
  • 2–5 years of experience in manual machining within a manufacturing environment.
  • Above-average math skills for precision layouts and indexing calculations.
  • Deep knowledge of machine tools, machining operations, feeds/speeds, and workholding.
  • Expert use of metrology tools: calipers, micrometers, height gages, indicators, and comparators.
  • Physical stamina, fine motor control, and exceptional attention to detail.
  • Resourceful problem-solving and a collaborative mindset.
Proficiencies
  • Precision Measurement & Hand Metrology
  • Machine Setups for Production Runs
  • Manual Machining Skills
Equipment you’ll work with
  • Manual Lathe and Manual Vertical Mill
  • Surface Grinder and Manual Grinder
  • CNC Lathe (2–4 axis)
  • CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC)
Preferred education
  • Sandvik Coromant Academy, Metal Cutting Technology (or equivalent)
  • NMIS certifications in machine technologies (or comparable credentials)
Benefits
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, 401k, Short-Term Disability
  • Paid Vacation and Holidays
  • Personal Time
  • And much more
