A CNC Operator is a skilled technician who operates Computer Numerical Control machines to create precise parts and components. These machines use programmed instructions to control tools like lathes, mills, and routers, allowing for high accuracy in manufacturing. CNC Operators often work in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and metal fabrication. To ensure quality, CNC Operators must read blueprints and technical drawings, set up machines, and monitor the production process. They also perform routine maintenance and troubleshooting to keep the machines running smoothly. Attention to detail and technical knowledge are essential for success in this role.
