  • Read blueprints/work instructions; apply GD&T correctly.
  • Install tooling; set and verify work/tool offsets.
  • Prepare vises, fixtures, and workholding for rigidity and repeatability.
  • Validate first articles and fine-tune offsets as required.
  • Monitor tool wear and perform timely replacements.
  • Inspect parts with calipers, micrometers, indicators, and height gauges.
  • Meet quality and production standards; follow all safety procedures.
Qualifications
  • 3+ years of CNC mill setup experience.
  • Experience with FANUC ROBODRILL or similar FANUC-controlled VMCs.
  • Strong blueprint literacy and GD&T comprehension.

  4. Tooling Health: What signs indicate a tool is dull/chipped/deflecting/rubbing or unsuitable, and how do you correct?
  5. FANUC/ROBODRILL Background: Share years of setup experience, materials cut, typical tolerances, and your experience with offsets and first article inspections.
