Hi, I work at a medium sized shop with CNC lathes and mills. I do the set-ups on all the machines and once they are blessed by QC we then let the operator take over. We have work cells so it is two machines per employee. My question is what is a good operator worth?? If they can do tool offsets,check parts to the print, work safely,keep the coolant and lube filled in the machine, keep the area clean and are always on time and will work O.T. anytime you ask and you only see them when there is a problem they cannot fix themselves and are willing to learn. We are smack dab between Chicago and Millwaukee if that matters any. What are you paying your people?
