Metal Spinner
Manual & CNC
Job Type:
Full-Time
Experience Required:
Metal spinning experience is mandatory. Position Summary: We are actively seeking a skilled
Metal Spinner
to produce high-precision spun components using
manual
,
PNC
, and
CNC lathes
. This role requires an expert understanding of spinning techniques and a solid grasp of metal properties, tooling, and machinery setup. Candidates must have prior experience in
metal spinning
, along with proficiency in interpreting technical drawings and working to tight tolerances. Key Responsibilities: Set up and operate
manual and CNC/PNC spinning lathes
to shape metal from sheet or plate stock. Program CNC spinning machines, including setting zero/reference points, tool offsets, and conditional switches. Interpret
blueprints, work orders, GD&T specs
, and engineering plans to plan and execute spinning processes. Design and fabricate custom
fixtures, chucks, and tooling
for specialized projects. Use hand and lever tools to form metal over spinning chucks, adjusting pressure and speed based on metal type and part geometry. Perform
inspection and quality checks
on first-run and in-process parts using micrometers and other precision instruments. Conduct
preventive maintenance
, clean equipment, and document all work in production and quality records. Diagnose and troubleshoot machinery issues as needed to maintain production flow. Collaborate with engineers and production staff to ensure technical alignment and quality standards. Operate additional fabrication equipment (as needed), including shears, welders, and machining tools. Required Qualifications: Minimum 3 years of experience
in
metal spinning
(manual and/or CNC). Proficient in reading
blueprints, orthographic drawings
, and interpreting
geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T)
. Strong working knowledge of
metal properties
, lathe operations, and safe machine practices. Ability to calculate parameters using
basic math, geometry, and trigonometry
. Skilled in setting up and maintaining
metal spinning tools and fixtures
. Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving skills. Ability to work independently and as part of a team. Preferred but Not Required: Experience designing and turning wood spinning chucks. Familiarity with additional metal forming techniques such as
deep drawing, stamping, welding, or shearing
.
