Why This Job Is Worth Considering
Wagner Machine, Inc. is a family-owned, veteran-led precision machining shop in Norton, Ohio that's been running since 1957. This is a true job shop — no production lines, no running the same part all shift. You'll set up and run a wide variety of work, from one-off prototypes to short-run batches of 20–50 pieces, on a lathe fleet that ranges from a 12" Mori Seiki up to a 36" Doosan Puma 700, including live-tooling lathes with sub-spindle and Y-axis. Every day brings a different part, a different material, and a new problem to work through. If you'd rather figure things out and take ownership of your work than push buttons on a line, this is a shop where that actually gets noticed.
What You'll Be Doing
Set up and operate CNC lathes for a mix of one-off prototypes and short-run batches (typically 20–50 pieces)
Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and GD&T
Select tooling, dial in offsets, and build out setups for each new job
Run live-tooling/multi-axis lathes with sub-spindle and Y-axis capability when the job calls for it
Troubleshoot setups and machine issues independently
Inspect your own work in-process and at completion
Pick up mill work as needed — milling experience is a plus, not a requirement
Machines, Controls and Software
Wagner Machine's lathe department runs a mix of CNC lathes, including a Doosan Puma 700, SMART NL4000, Daewoo Puma 18, Hyundai-Kia SKT-400C, and Mori Seiki SL 25/B 500, plus live-tooling/multi-axis lathes (SMART SL3300YS and SMART NL2000ASY) with sub-spindle and Y-axis for more complex parts. The shop also runs CNC vertical machining centers (Hyundai-Kia VX series, Kitamura 4XD) for the mill side of the work, with programming support available through Mastercam and AutoCAD.
What We're Looking For
Required:
Strong job shop or custom machining experience
Ability to read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and GD&T
Proficiency in setup, tooling, offsets, and running CNC lathes
Ability to work independently, troubleshoot, and inspect your own work
A "figure it out" attitude — ownership and pride in precision work
Preferred:
Milling experience in addition to lathe work
Pay, Benefits and Schedule
Pay:
$25.00 – $32.00 per hour
Job Type: Full-time
