How much do 5 axis cnc machine jobs pay per hour?

As of Sep 9, 2026, the average hourly pay for 5 axis cnc machine in the United States is $23.65, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $19.71 and $26.92 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between 5 Axis Cnc Machine vs CNC Machinist?

Aspect5 Axis Cnc MachineCNC Machinist
Primary RoleOperates and programs 5-axis CNC machines for complex part manufacturingSets up, operates, and maintains CNC machines, including programming and troubleshooting
Skills & CertificationsKnowledge of CNC programming, CAD/CAM, and machine operationBlueprint reading, CNC programming, and machine operation skills
Work EnvironmentManufacturing facilities with advanced CNC equipmentFactories, machine shops, or manufacturing plants

While both roles involve working with CNC technology, a 5 Axis Cnc Machine refers to the equipment used for complex machining tasks, whereas a CNC Machinist is a professional who operates and programs these machines. The machinist may work with various CNC machines, including 5-axis models, but the machine itself is a tool, not a job title.

Is a 5 axis CNC machine hard to learn?

Learning to operate a 5 axis CNC machine as a machinist involves understanding complex programming, machine setup, and precision control, which can require dedicated training and practice. While it has a steeper learning curve than simpler CNC machines, many operators become proficient through technical courses, hands-on experience, and certification programs. Familiarity with CAD/CAM software and machining principles can facilitate the learning process.

What can you make with a 5 Axis CNC Machine?

A 5 Axis CNC machine is used in manufacturing to produce complex and precise parts such as aerospace components, automotive parts, medical devices, molds, and intricate artistic pieces. Its ability to move in multiple axes allows for detailed and efficient machining of complex geometries, often requiring advanced programming and tooling. Skilled operators and CAD/CAM software are essential for maximizing its capabilities.

The Work You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

  • Set up and operate 5-axis DMG Mori and Haas CNC machines
  • Run complex precision parts from blueprints, drawings, and schematics
  • Hold tight tolerances (typically ±0.001" and tighter, depending on part)
  • Perform on-machine and manual deburring and finishing
  • Inspect parts using on-machine probing, micrometers, indicators, and thread gauges
  • Manage routine machine maintenance and cutting-fluid systems
  • Support process-improvement initiatives focused on throughput and efficiency
  • Collaborate with programmers and engineers to refine machining strategies

This is a hands-on machining role, not an operator-only position.

---

  • 5+ years of CNC machine setup and operation experience
  • Hands-on experience with 5-axis CNC machining
  • Proven ability machining aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, or Inconel
  • Strong blueprint reading and tolerance control skills
  • Solid understanding of tooling, offsets, and workholding

Preferred (Not Required):

  • Experience with DMG Mori machines
  • Familiarity with Siemens controls
  • CNC programming and fixture design experience
  • Experience machining metal 3D printed parts
  • NTMA machinist certification or equivalent training
  • Proficiency with CMMs and advanced inspection
  • Comfortable operating shop equipment (cranes, forklifts, etc.)

---

Materials You’ll Work With

  • Aluminum
  • Stainless Steel
  • Titanium
  • Inconel & nickel-based alloys
