A day in the life

You clock in at 6 : 00 a.m., review the work orders, and get to work setting up HAAS vertical machining centers for a run of precision plastic manifolds. You verify fixtures, pick the right cutting tools and holders, and load programs using G & M code. First-article inspections follow, using micrometers and other metrology to lock in quality. Through the morning, you move between 3–5-axis mills, a lathe, and specialized equipment—drilling, tapping, reaming, chamfering, and cutting. You monitor productivity, adjust offsets, and troubleshoot to keep throughput at or above plan while reducing scrap and rework. Paperwork stays clean and legible; data sheets, timecards, and inspection records are up to date. By afternoon, you’re setting up the next job, communicating machine status to the next operator, and tidying a safe, orderly workstation before you head out at 4 : 00 p.m.
