Manual Miller / Precision Engineer

Experienced Manual Miller Required
We are seeking a skilled and experienced Manual Miller to join our specialist precision engineering  to join our client business.
This is a varied role focused on the manufacture of high-precision, one-off components and gears. Unlike many machining positions, this is not production or batch work. We require a machinist who can think independently, set up jobs from scratch, and work accurately from engineering drawings.
Approximately 80% of the role will involve operating a Bridgeport Manual Milling Machine, with the remaining 20% involving rough machining gears on an Okuma 4-Axis CNC Milling Machine once competency has been demonstrated. The components are typically small and intricate, with most workpieces being under 100mm in size.
Key Responsibilities
  • Operating and setting a Bridgeport Manual Milling Machine
  • Producing high-precision one-off components and gears
  • Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
  • Setting up tooling, fixtures, and work holding equipment
  • Clocking bores and workpieces using a DTI (Dial Test Indicator)
  • Using rotary tables to accurately position components
  • Calculating and working with PCDs (Pitch Circle Diameters)
  • Finding centres and datums to establish machining positions
  • Working with angles, including degrees and minutes
  • Carrying out in-process inspection using micrometres, verniers, gauges, and indicators
  • Rough machining gears on an Okuma 4-Axis CNC Milling Machine
  • Maintaining high standards of quality, accuracy, and housekeeping
  • Following all health and safety procedures
Essential Requirements
  • Proven experience operating manual milling machines
  • Strong understanding of precision engineering principles
  • Ability to use a DTI to accurately clock workpieces and bores
  • Experience using rotary tables
  • Understanding of PCD calculations and centre-finding techniques
  • Ability to work with angular measurements (degrees and minutes)
  • Competent in reading engineering drawings
  • Experience working to tight tolerances
  • Ability to inspect and measure components accurately
  • Self-motivated with excellent attention to detail
Desirable Experience
  • Toolmaking background
  • Gear manufacturing or gear-cutting experience
  • Experience using CNC milling machines
  • Familiarity with Okuma machine controls
