EXPERIENCE
JANUARY 2022 – JANUARY 2023
MACHINIST, EMM Manufacturing
Duties included to set up and program Hurco Machining Centers, (as well MAZAK HASS ). Position entailed the production of fixtures, and one-off prototype parts for specific customer requirements. Job also included the use of all shop inspection tools to measure and run parts. My personal role here was in the high paced R and D department I would be challenged daily in this role holding extremely tight tolerances 0002 on up to 10-30 features if not more per part Everything from cutting the stock in the back to setting up proper vises and or fixtures (and or made to SPEC.) . At this time, we would now be ready to sit at either my computer station located in office, or simpler programs would be written right there at the milling and or turning center controls. All tools needed for program would be either set aside from previous job or request tools from crib at this time. After writing the rest of the program we would save File under customer part # and Rev #. Now to run program and deburr final product. Measure features to Spec on print then bring to QC for a first piece on any quantity jobs very rare for me and so on to the next one typical day could consist of up to 7-14 jobs daily
AUGUST 2021 – JANUARY 2022
MACHINIST, Technicoil
As the Lathe Department Supervisor, I set-up, programmed, and ran the Mazatrol CNC Turning centers. I also Programed the G&M Code for the YCM turning centers. I started this job with zero experience working on Mazak turning centers. I had to educate myself for the software, to be able to run these machines. This Job also entailed the use of all shop measuring tools such as Micrometers and indicators. At this job I would also set up machines for employees I had working for me and would teach them basic math, and blueprint reading skills, as well as many other skills that they would need as they were exposed to the manufacturing trade. We ran about 10-20 parts at a time for most job lots. Never much more than that, as we supplied only for in housework. We were making science laboratory equipment.
AUGUST 2016– DECEMBER 2020
MACHINIST, DAVIN MACHINE SHOP CHELSEA, MA
This company specializes in overhaul and repair work of heavy equipment. Davin Machine also fabricates production line parts, for foundries that are still operating in and around the city of Boston. Most of my work performed is in the machining of stainless steel and various other types of alloys, as well as utilizing brass and bronze bushings. A large portion of the work I perform here is all done on manual lathes and mills using hand ground high-speed steel tooling. The shop also has two large horizontal boring machines made by Bullard. At this job we never knew what we might be working on any given day. We also built a lot of drive shafts for dough mixers. This also required specific stainless steels for food grade machinery. We also designed and manufactured dies.
APRIL 2014– JULY 2016
MACHINIST, SMITHS MACHINE SHOP, SOUTH BOSTON, MA
CNC Machinist / Toolmaker, Performing custom fabrication and design of customers unique parts from detailed blueprints. Work is performed by, using manual and CNC milling and turning centers. We took on a lot of different work here. Making blades for seafood companies or dies for a high tech electrical connector company for military defense. This is a custom repair shop where jobs are exclusive to the industry as well, We were also involved with the elevator industry by specializing in re-grooves and field machining of shafts for steel cables to ride on hoisting the elevator up or letting such elevator down. This was a very difficult process to set up a lathe in engine room of a 60-story high rise and then I would use the power of the elevator motor to turn the grooves clean. Steel braided cable wears into large drive pulley. We also did a large amount of sheet metal work whether it was fitting up guard shields and lay-out and design.
We also designed sheet metal containers and many other creative designs. All custom to order and to specific dimensions. Along with sheet metal we also did welding here. I myself was not hired to be a welder but would take every and all opportunities I could find to learn how to become a better welder and there team was very generous to show me quit a bite and I’m still grateful to this day
