CNC Milling Programmer-Operator (Multi-Axis)

Day-in-the-Life in Windsor, CT

You arrive, power up a 3–4 axis VMC, verify tools, and load your program. You set work and tool offsets, dry-run the path, and cut a first article. With micrometers and gauges in hand, you inspect to blueprint specs, make fine adjustments, and document results. Midday, you collaborate with engineering to tighten cycle times. You perform routine maintenance, clear chips, and keep your cell spotless. As needs shift, you may pivot to a 5-axis VMC or a 2–4 axis lathe to help the team deliver on customer commitments.
