I have extensive experience working with CNC machines, including lathes and mills. I am proficient in programming using G-code and have worked with various CAD/CAM software to generate tool paths. My experience includes setting up machines, troubleshooting errors, and optimizing tool paths for efficiency and precision.

I approach troubleshooting methodically, starting with identifying the root cause of the issue. I use diagnostic tools and check for common problems like wear and tear, alignment issues, or software errors. Once identified, I follow standard procedures to repair or replace components, ensuring the tooling is back in optimal condition.

Safety is paramount in my work. I always wear appropriate PPE, follow lockout/tagout procedures, and ensure all equipment is properly maintained and inspected. I also conduct regular safety audits and train colleagues on safe operating practices to minimize risks.

I regularly attend industry conferences, webinars, and training sessions to stay informed about new tooling technologies and techniques. I also subscribe to industry publications and participate in online forums to exchange knowledge and learn from peers.

In a previous role, I identified inefficiencies in a tooling process that was causing delays. By redesigning the tool path and implementing a new cutting strategy, I reduced cycle time by 15%, improving overall production efficiency and reducing costs.
