Tool and Cutter Grinder About the Opportunity Are you a master of precision who thrives in the art of manual craftsmanship? A premier, high-precision manufacturing leader is seeking a highly skilled Tool and Cutter Grinder to join our elite team. In this critical role, you will directly impact our facility's productivity, surface finish quality, and capability to hold exceptionally tight tolerances down to$\pm0.0001$inches. You will manufacture, sharpen, modify, and recondition specialized cutting tools (end mills, drills, reamers) that drive our advanced CNC operations. Why Join Us?

• Ultimate Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a stable 4-day work week (Mon-Thu). Our early 5:00 AM start gives you a consistent 3-day weekend every week.
• Premium Environment: Work in a highly stable, clean, and climate-controlled precision manufacturing facility.
• Top Pay & Benefits: Earn $32.00–$38.00/Hour (DOE) , backed by premium health, dental, vision, a 401(k) with company match, and PTO.

Key Responsibilities

• Machine Operation: Set up and operate manual and CNC tool and cutter grinders, surface grinders, and cylindrical grinding equipment. (Note: Manual equipment mastery is central to this role.)
• Tool Reconditioning: Sharpen and other standard carbide and HSS cutting tools to create custom geometries.
• Wheel Selection: Select, dress, and balance appropriate grinding wheels (diamond, CBN).
• Blueprint Interpretation: Analyze engineering blueprints and manufacturing routers to calculate custom tool geometry and recognize basic symbols.
• Shop Math: Apply trigonometry to determine correct clearances, relief angles, and helical pitches.
• Precision Inspection: Self-inspect work utilizing micrometers, calipers, indicators, and optical comparators.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3–5 years of dedicated tool and cutter grinding experience in a precision machine shop.
• The Manual Advantage: strong hands-on experience setting up and operating conventional/manual grinding equipment—specifically Cincinnati models (No. 2, Monoset, etc.)—is highly preferred.
• CNC Familiarity: While modern CNC experience (ANCA, Walter) is valued, the core need is manual cutter grinding expertise .
