CNC CNC Setup Operator

T&D Machine, Inc.
Butler, WI Full Time
POSTED ON 4/25/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/24/2026
CNC Setup Operator (a.k.a. the One Who Actually Makes It Happen)

We’re looking for someone who knows their way around a CNC machine — not just how to press cycle start. If you can read a print, dial in a setup, and catch problems before they turn into scrap, you’ll fit right in.

We cut chips, not corners — new parts every day, tight tolerances, zero shortcuts. No armchair machinists. No corporate BS. Just precision and pride in every part.

You’ll

  • Set up CNC mills/lathes (Mazak & Doosan) for short-run and prototype jobs
  • Touch off tools, dial in offsets, and verify parts meet spec (±0.0005″ doesn’t scare you)
  • Work with programmers and machinists who know what they’re doing
  • Suggest better ways to do things — and be taken seriously

You Are

  • Comfortable with setup sheets, indicators, and micrometers
  • Not afraid of a tight tolerance or a tough setup
  • The kind of person who can look at a part and know if it’s right
  • Tired of shops where nobody listens to the people who actually run the machines
  • Not a screamer - life's too short to work with assholes

Perks

  • Competitive pay (because talent costs money)
  • Air-conditioned shop, new machines
  • A team that takes pride in what they do
  • Health, dental, vision insurance and 401(k)
  • A team that takes pride in what they do
  • Sane hours — be home for dinner and never miss your kid’s game again.

If you’d rather make chips than excuses, we should talk.

You Should Be Proficient In

  • GD&T
  • CNC Tooling
  • G-Code
  • Blueprint Reading

Machines & Technologies You'll Use

  • CNC Mill (3-4 axis VMC)
  • CNC Lathe (2-4 axis)
  • Calipers and Micrometers
  • Horizontal Machining Center (3-4 axis)
  • Forklifts

Salary : $28 - $32
