CNC Set Up Machinist - 2nd & 3rd Shift

Weldall Manufacturing is hiring experienced CNC Set-Up Machinists with expertise in machining heavy weldments using open-table Vertical Machining Centers, Horizontal Machining Centers, and Horizontal Boring Mills. This role is responsible for independently setting up, machining, and troubleshooting in a low-volume, high-mix job shop environment. This is a hands-on position for someone who thrives on variety and technical challenges.

More Than Machine Operation: This is a CNC set-up machinist role, not a position focused only on loading parts and pushing a cycle-start button. You will be responsible for reviewing shop packets and blueprints, planning and performing setups, selecting tooling and workholding, establishing work offsets, proving out programs, inspecting finished work, and independently troubleshooting machining and quality issues.

Key Responsibilities

• Performs all tasks in a safe and responsible manner.
• Set up and machine parts on CNC machining centers, including Vertical Machining Centers (VMC), Horizontal Machining Centers (HMC), and Horizontal Boring Mills.
• Use part probes, tool setters, indicators, and edge finders to ensure accurate setups.
• Apply work offsets (G54, etc.) and interpret/edit G and M codes to prove out programs.
• Read and interpret blueprints, GD&T, and CAD files to produce high-quality parts.
• Optimize speeds, feeds, and tooling to ensure part quality and maximize tool life.
• Operate Fanuc and HEIDENHAIN controls to run and adjust programs during machining.
• Select and adjust tooling for efficient material removal and repeatable results.
• Troubleshoot machining issues independently and collaborate with team members as needed.
• Use appropriate inspection equipment to verify part conformance to specifications.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work environment.
• Follow established safety practices and properly use required safety equipment.
