Why Join Us?
We are actively seeking skilled CNC Grinders to join a growing, performance-driven manufacturing team. If you thrive in precision machining, take pride in producing world-class carbide cutting tools, and want to work with modern CNC grinding technology. This role offers stability, challenges, and long-term opportunities.
Job Summary
As a CNC Grinder, you will play a critical role in manufacturing high-precision carbide cutting tools using advanced CNC tool grinding machines. You will be responsible for programming, setup, operation, and inspection to ensure consistent, premium-quality output. This position is ideal for a hands-on machinist who values accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Supervisory Responsibilities
What You’ll Be Doing
- Set up CNC grinding machines, including tooling, offsets, and adjustments.
- Program and operate CNC grinders to meet exact blueprint and customer specifications.
- Read and interpret detailed blueprints, prints, and technical documentation.
- Inspect parts using precision measurement and quality control tools.
- Monitor production quality throughout the process—catching issues before they become problems.
- Troubleshoot quality concerns and communicate effectively with programmers and leadership.
- Perform daily machine inspections to ensure safe, efficient operation.
- Maintain organized, clean, and safe workstations.
- Support continuous improvement and take ownership of your work.
- Perform additional responsibilities as needed to support production goals.
What We’re Looking For
- High school diploma or GED required.
- 2+ years of 5-Axis CNC setup and operation experience, preferably on ANCA- or NUM-controlled platforms.
- Strong understanding of carbide cutting tools and grinding processes.
- Machining or CNC-related certification preferred—but proven hands-on experience is valued just as highly.
- Knowledge of cutters, inserts, feeds, and speeds is a strong advantage.
- CNC programming experience is a plus, but not required.
- Manufacturing experience preferred; motivated learners are encouraged to apply.
Skills That Will Set You Apart
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to precision.
- Ability to follow established processes while continuously improving output.
- Solid problem-solving skills within a production environment.
- Clear, professional communication skills and team-oriented attitude.
- Ability to work independently while contributing to shop-wide success.
- Willingness to learn, adapt, and grow with evolving technology.
Physical Requirements
- Ability to stand for extended periods in a manufacturing environment.
- Regular bending, stooping, kneeling, and twisting.
- Ability to lift up to 30 pounds safely.
- Comfort working around CNC machinery and shop equipment.
