Machinist Lathe

**Description:** Sets up completely and independently, and operates various types of lathes to machine complex highly variable, and/or nonrepetitive parts to exacting and coordinated tolerances, where it is required to exercise ingenuity and a complete knowledge of machine shop theory, of machine capacity and the machinability of materials used, to plan the sequence of machining operations, to devise unusual machining methods, to improvise and adapt tooling, in order to fully utilize all functions of the machine and to minimize the number of setups and the amount of machining required.
Performs rework of the level of difficulty of the operations described above.
PERFORMS SUCH RELATED DUTIES AS:
Makes complete layout on parts as a guide in machining operations.
Determines, sets and adjusts speeds, feeds and depth of cut; selects, mounts and aligns tooling, attachments and materials in proper relationship. Performs such operations as turning, profile turning, boring, reaming...
