1st Shift Machinist (34 To 36)

Job Title: Machinist - 1st shift - $34 to $36 an hour

Job Description

The ideal candidate can establish datums, align and fixture large workpieces, and machine bores, faces, holes, and patterns with strong control of size, position, and coaxiality. This role requires confidence with boring bars and related tooling, disciplined management of tool offsets and machine setup, and close collaboration with quality and engineering on first-piece approval and process improvement. It is a strong fit for a machinist who has moved beyond general CNC operation into large-part setup ownership and bore geometry control.

Responsibilities

• Set up and operate CNC horizontal boring/milling equipment to machine large precision parts from first setup through final verification.
• Interpret blueprints, router instructions, dimensions, and tolerances to establish machining sequence, datum structure, and setup strategy.
• Align and secure large workpieces using machine tables, T-slots, angle plates, blocks, fixtures, clamps, and other heavy workholding methods appropriate to the part.
• Perform precision boring, milling, drilling, reaming, tapping, facing, and hole-pattern work on castings, weldments, housings, frames, and related components.
• Utilize part probe and tool probe systems to establish work coordinates, verify setup accuracy, measure tooling, and support first-piece and in-process inspections.
• Select and manage tooling such as boring bars, boring heads/facing heads, drills, reamers, taps, shell mills, end mills, and indexable cutting tools.
• Adjust speeds, feeds, tool offsets, cutter compensation, and program details to maintain bore size, straightness, coaxiality, and positional accuracy.
• Conduct first-piece and in-process inspection using micrometers, bore gages, indicators, height gages, gage blocks, and other precision inspection tools.

Essential Skills

• Minimum 5 years of machining experience, with at least 3 years on CNC horizontal boring mills, large CNC mills, or similarly demanding large-part machining platforms.
• Proven ability to read blueprints, sketches, CAD-based drawings, and written instructions and translate them into reliable multi-step boring/milling setups.
• Strong understanding of boring-machine process basics, including use of boring bars, tool extension limits, rigidity, vibration awareness, and size adjustment strategy.
• Experience machining large parts that require setup precision, hole-location control, bore alignment, or multiple datums in one or more setups.
• Working knowledge of CNC controls and editing practices.
• Experience with common industrial controller families such as Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, Mazak, Okuma, and Haas variants.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Direct horizontal boring mill experience.
• Programming and troubleshooting skills.
