machine.

• Review program specifications or blueprints to determine and set machine operations and

sequencing, finished work piece dimensions, and/or numerical control sequences.

• Calculate machine speed and feed ratios and the size and position of cuts.

• Stop machines to remove finished material or to change tooling, setup, or material placement,

according to required machining sequences.

• Listen to machines during operation to detect sounds such as those made by dull cutting tools or

excessive vibration and adjust machines to compensate for problems.

• Monitor machine operation and control panel display and compare readings to specifications to

detect malfunctions.

• Adjust machine feed and speed, change cutting tools, or adjust machine controls when

automatic programming is faulty or if the machine malfunctions.
