Why This Role Exists

This role exists due to continued workload and the need for in-house Swiss programming expertise. Camtool is expanding its Swiss lathe capabilities and is looking for a machinist who can program, set up, and own the process from print to finished part.

You’ll play a key role in producing precision Swiss-turned components while helping improve processes, reduce costs, and support long-term manufacturing growth.

---

The Work You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will:

  • Program, set up, and run Swiss CNC lathes based on customer drawings
  • Develop setup sheets, tooling lists, and manage tool life
  • Generate and edit CNC programs to improve cycle time, chip control, and tool usage
  • Analyze job travelers to determine operation sequence, tooling, feeds, and speeds
  • Perform in-process and final inspection using precision measuring tools
  • Collaborate with customers and internal teams on DFM improvements
  • Design or assist with jigs, fixtures, and workholding using 3D models
  • Troubleshoot machining and quality issues
  • Identify cost-reduction opportunities and implement process improvements
  • Accurately document work orders, inspection records, and maintenance logs

This is a hands-on programming + setup role, not just pushing cycle start.

---

Machines, Controls & Software

You’ll work with:

Machines:

  • Swiss CNC Lathes (Nomura preferred)

CAM Software:

  • PartMaker

Inspection Tools:

  • Micrometers, calipers, indicators, and other precision measuring equipment

---

What We’re Looking ForRequired

  • 3+ years of CNC programming experience
  • 1+ year of CNC turning experience
  • Strong blueprint reading skills
  • Solid understanding of setups, tooling, and offsets
  • Ability to inspect parts and hold tight tolerances
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Preferred (Not Required)

  • Swiss CNC lathe experience (3+ years strongly preferred)
  • Experience with Nomura Swiss machines
  • Process development or quoting experience
  • Fixture or workholding design experience

---

Materials You’ll Work With

  • Common production metals and raw materials used in Swiss machining
    (Exact materials vary by job)

---

Why Machinists Like Working Here

Machinists choose Camtool because:

  • Programming and setup authority — your skills are respected
  • Opportunity to influence processes and reduce costs
  • Precision Swiss work, not button-pushing production
  • Stable workload with room to grow technically
  • Collaborative environment between machining, quality, and customers

---

Pay, Benefits & Schedule

  • $26–$30/hr, based on experience
  • Full-time, steady work
  • Clean, professional shop environment
  • Opportunity to expand programming and process ownership
