    • Why This Role Exists
    HuFriedyGroup is expanding its

    high-mix, low-volume precision machining

    capability to support world-class dental and medical instruments. This role exists to strengthen

    4-axis machining capability , reduce setup redundancy, and support complex multi-face parts with tight quality requirements.

    This is a

    true setup role

    — not an operator position — with real ownership over machine accuracy, repeatability, and process improvement.

    -
    • The Work You'll Be Doing

    In this role, you will:
    Independently set up

    HAAS 3-axis and 4-axis CNC milling machines

    Install, indicate, and align

    4-axis rotary tables (A-axis) , tailstocks, and tombstones

    Load, verify, edit, and prove out CNC programs using indexed and continuous 4-axis motion

    Establish and verify

    work offsets (G54–G59) , rotary offsets, and tool length offsets

    Perform

    first-article inspections

    on multi-face components and adjust offsets/programs in real time


    Troubleshoot advanced 4-axis issues including:
    Angular misalignment

    Rotary zero-return errors

    Positional repeatability problems

    Tool clearance and collision risk

    Optimize machining strategies to reduce multiple setups through effective 4-axis indexing

    Support frequent changeovers in a

    high-mix, low-volume

    environment

    Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering on fixture design, tooling, and program improvements

    Train and support CNC Operators on safe operation and 4-axis best practices

    -

    Rotary Systems:
    HAAS TRT / HRT rotary tables, tombstones, multi-face fixturing


    Controls:
    HAAS CNC controls


    Programming:
    G-code editing at the machine (A-axis logic, indexing, safe starts)


    Inspection Tools:
    Calipers, micrometers, indicators, precision gages

    -
    • Materials You'll Work With
    Stainless steel

    Specialty alloys used in dental and medical instruments

    -

    5+ years of CNC machining experience

    with significant setup responsibility

    Hands-on experience setting up

    4-axis HAAS milling machines

    (required)


    Experience with:
    Rotary tables (TRT / HRT or equivalent)

    Tombstone and multi-face fixturing

    Complex part orientation and datum control

    Strong blueprint reading skills, including

    advanced GD&T

    (position, profile, concentricity, runout)


    Proficiency editing G-code, including:
    A-axis commands

    Indexing logic

    Program prove-out and safe start procedures

    Strong understanding of precision measurement for multi-axis components

    Preferred (Not Required)

    Medical or dental manufacturing experience

    Exposure to continuous improvement or process optimization work

    -
    • Why Machinists Like Working Here
    True

    setup ownership

    — not just loading parts

    Advanced

    4-axis work

    in a clean, regulated environment

    High-mix, technical machining (no boring long-run production)

    Stable, long-term work in medical manufacturing

    Strong pay, shift differentials, and sign-on bonus

    Opportunity to influence fixtures, processes, and machining strategy
