Screw machine operators perform various tasks with one or more multiple-spindle, automatic lathe-type screw machines. These machines produce custom parts from stock metal or other materials. Operators ensure the machine is correctly set up for the required operations and read blueprints to determine the necessary screw machine settings. They choose cutting speeds, depths, feed rates, and cutting tools based on experience, material knowledge, and basic mathematical principles.

Headquartered in Irvine, CA, Shur‑Lok manufactures fastening systems with superior locking devices for critical requirements, including engine module assembly, structural assembly, rotor blade attachment, and aircraft engine shaft and spindle applications. Operations at the Irvine location include CNC machining, CNC waterjet cutting, laser marking, heat treating, NDT, and EDM.

Operators install and adjust cams and gears, stop the machine, and verify tool positioning using gauges or instruments. They are responsible for turning the machine on and off according to safety protocols, monitoring operations, and making adjustments to speed, feed, or tool position to ensure accurate reproduction of plans. After a sample part is produced, operators verify compliance with blueprint specifications using calipers and micrometers.

Operators label finished products, track material usage, and may submit productivity and quality records. They also perform regular maintenance or repair, such as replacing worn parts or sharpening tools. Job performance is evaluated based on mastery of tools, job complexity, and quality of the final product.

Operators may be required to maintain records regarding productivity and operation quality, and submit reports on defective materials or faulty operations to supervisors.
