Shape precision parts, start to finish
At an industry-leading machine parts supplier, your day begins around 7:00am in the Elmwood Park area of Chicago. You review prints, set up a horizontal boring mill, program toolpaths in Mastercam, fine-tune G- and M-code, run first articles, verify results with precision gauges, and transition into steady production. When something doesn’t cut true, you troubleshoot, realign, and get the job back on track. By day’s end, you’ve completed accurate parts and clean changeovers—ready for tomorrow’s run.
