OD Cylindrical Grinding Machinist (Precision Components)

It’s 6:00 AM in Addison. You power up the OD grinder, review the traveler and blueprint, and select the right wheel for the alloy on deck. By mid-morning, you’ve dialed in feeds and speeds, verified size with micrometers and gauges, and are holding tight OD tolerances with confidence. Before the shift wraps, you’ve completed in-process checks, recorded final inspection data, and left your cell spotless and ready for the next run. About the work Set up and run OD/cylindrical grinding equipment to blueprint specifications and strict tolerances. Read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T callouts. Select, mount, and dress grinding wheels; establish speeds, feeds, and process parameters. Use precision metrology (micrometers, calipers, gauges, and other inspection tools) to verify dimensions. Perform in-process checks and final inspections; adjust offsets or tooling to maintain quality. Troubleshoot common grinding and machine issues to sustain repeatability. Maintain an orderly, safe work area and follow company safety and quality procedures. What you bring 3+ years of hands-on OD/cylindrical grinding experience preferred.
