ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Must be confident in turning parts ranging from 5mm in diameter up to 1000mm in diameter and possibly even bigger in future.

Part lengths will range from around 2mm up 3000mm.

Machinists must be confident in their abilities to calculate angles, radii etc to meet customer drawing features.

Likewise, the ability to design and where necessary make tooling to aid in the machining of specific features will be highly advantageous.

Majority of items to be machined will be washers, flanged bushes, plain bushes, grooved bearings and split bearings. Experience of eccentric turning and trepanning is also required.

The parts will generally be machined from composite materials produced by the company. These materials will all be machined using extraction or LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) and cannot be cut with coolant.

The machines to be used range from small lathes such as a Holroyd groover and Colchester student lathe to mid-range lathes such as Broadbent Stanley 3m long bed lathe and Broadbent Stanley faceplate lathe up to a Noble & Lund heavy duty oil country lathe.

Operators self-inspect their work with operation First Off's having a secondary inspection performed by a fellow operator before being signed off.

As such, it is expected that skilled operators will be confident in the use of standard hand-held inspection equipment with knowledge of CMM and Shadowgraph use considered an advantage.

While all the above skills will form the basis of their role, they will need to learn how to machine our products and understand the possible variations within the materials and how each react differently to the way they are machined.

This can only come through spending time with experienced operators and then gaining experience on the job.
