Provide technical guidance on speeds, feeds, coatings, tool geometry, and machining best practices
Prepare quotations and process customer orders accurately
Work closely with Outside Sales and supplier partners to deliver complete solutions
Continuing to expand your knowledge through manufacturer training and product education
We're Looking For Someone Who Has
5+ years of CNC machining, tool room, manufacturing engineering, or cutting tool experience
Strong knowledge of milling, turning, drilling, and threading applications
Experience selecting cutting tools for a variety of materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, and exotic alloys
