I just got a new job as a CNC machine oerator
A friend of mine got me this job and Im actually totally new to this type of work so Im just wondering if anyone else here does this for work?
Is it hard work? Whats to like and not like?
The starting pay is actually pretty good plus I can get O.T on the weekends so I took it.
Been doing warehousing last 10 years and it really hasnt gotten me anywhere so Im hoping this could be the start of something good.
Congratulations, best of luck with the new job
Good luck. I have no idea what your job entails though.
Never heard of it but congrats
We ant some of that money though so post up at sbr books
Congrats! I also am in a new field after 16 years of doing something else. Never been happier!
first please explain what CNC stands for..
Congrats, jobs are tough to find these days. Never heard of it though
You tell em JJOriginally Posted by jjgold
Ahhh man......
that would have been the "perfect 100k post"......
was only 19 off from it
machine operator is like pushing buttons.I worked in some electronic companies before its getting bored after a while
Computerized numeric control I think. Programs with G codes and stuff like that. Set it up fast...take accurate measurments for quality control when done. Be helpful to the electricians when it breaks down.
Good luck...you tube cnc controls for info out there
Thanks for the congrats guys!
Computer numerical control
Congrats on the job, but you asked for it.
I use to do CNC work and it's some of the most brainless zombie-mode inducing work there is. I use to watch minutes tick by like they were hours. I am not made for repetitive work, I go crazy fast. CNC work drove me crazy in only a matter of months. I need a change of pace or I will fuking explode.
Hope its better for you!
I think it will be very boring from what I've heard of it, but with most jobs there is a reason they pay you to do it.
wow these posts really suck today...
congrats on the job though
Fairly easy Job.
If you're good at Math/Geometry, learn to program the machine and read prints and whatnot. Pay is much better if you know that stuff.
Like someone else mentioned, make sure to check every part if the tolerances are small. If they have larger tolerances (+/- .005) I normally check every 5-10 parts. I'm sure they'll tell you what they expect for measuring parts.
Been doing CNC since high school (8 years)
Congrats on the job...what kind of machine does he plan on having you run?

Congrats on the new gig guy.
I'm an Engineering recruiter. I recruit for CNC machinist and programmer positions all the time.
What state did you end up getting a job in? Do you guys need more help?
I know someone that has done it for 30+ years and they make about 100k a year just operating and controlling. Not an easy job by any means, mundane. BOL
A plain old machine operator is a fairly simple job.
Put in part and press go.
Take out part
measure a few diameters/depths
maybe change a tool insert or drill every half hour.
Yes there is good money in being an actual machinist (program/setup/run) That's why you should take the time to learn how program

it is Computerized numeric control that you work with robot that bore and cut metal or etc. It may make many variety kind of company sell it from raw material as metal. you need to know how it work with XYZ and AB if 4th or 5th add after XYZ origin. plus you need to familiar with mach2 software that control CNC blah blah blah.. you may or not to see designer that company making. get it?
It is impossible that you know a machinist who makes 100k. 30 year vet makes no difference.
On the other hand you could certainly know a CNC programmer with 30 years experience who makes over 100k.
2 completely different positions. One is a technician and one is an engineering position, obviously 2 different worlds.
My dad, labeled as a machinist at our old shop, was making 92K his final year (27 years)
Machinist vs Operator seems to be what people are talking about in here. Nobody is talking being a cnc technician (who is the guy you call when you have problems with the machine) or an engineer (the guy who you call when you have a question about how to machine something)
Ya like you said, there seems to be confusion about the different titles.
As a recruiter I know the positions as a machinist and a programmer.
The programmer is an engineer and the machinsit is a tech.
average pay for a machinist is 30 an hour and programmer is 50+
good for you, hope it all works out well.
