CNC Mill Machinist (Set-Up & Programming)

$28 - $36 per hour

TG SOLUTIONS INC

Los Angeles, CA

Job Description

CNC Mill Machinist / Set-Up Operator & Programming

Compensation: $28.00 – $36.00 / hour (DOE; higher rates open for candidates with CNC programming experience)

Schedule: Monday – Friday, 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM (Day Shift)

Location: Machine Shop / On-Site

Position Overview

We are looking for a skilled CNC Set-Up Operator to set up and run a 4-axis, 4-spindle rotary CNC router.

No prior wood experience is required —solid experience setting up and operating 4-axis CNC metal or wood mills/routers transfers directly into this role. You will work closely with our programming team to execute precision setups, run low-to-mid volume runs, and produce high-end finished components.

Key Responsibilities

Set-Up & Operation: Load tooling, set tool offsets using probing systems and height gauges, install riser tables/tailstocks, and secure workpieces using standard clamps and fixtures.
Collaboration & Proofing: Partner with the programming department to dry-run programs, verify G/M-codes, and communicate feedback to refine production packages.
Quality & Inspection: Inspect in-process and finished parts against blueprints using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, tape measures, and pin gauges.
Material Prep & Routine Care: Prep blanks using basic shop tools (drills, saws, clamping), manage raw material staging, and perform routine preventative maintenance on the machine and dust collection system.

Qualifications

Core Experience: 2+ years of CNC set-up and operation experience on 4-axis mills or routers (metal, plastic, or wood background welcomed).
Code & Controls: Solid understanding of G-code and M-code; ability to navigate machine controllers (experience with Fagor controllers, like Model 8055, is a strong plus).
Precision Inspection: Proficient with precision hand inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges) and reading technical drawings/prints.
Shop Fundamentals: Comfortable with manual fixture setup, hand tools, and lifting/handling materials safely in an active shop environment.
Bonus: Hands-on CNC programming experience (Mastercam, Fusion 360, etc.) qualifies for pay above the standard range.

Why Apply?

Consistent early day-shift schedule (6:00 AM – 2:30 PM).
Premium hourly rate with pay flexibility for programming talent.
Clean, well-equipped shop producing distinctive, high-craftsmanship products.
