Demonstrable experience working with a conventional (manual) lathe.
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings.
Knowledge of cutting tools and machining conditions.
Proficiency in measuring instruments and dimensional control.
Precision, responsibility, and autonomy in the workplace.
Ability to manufacture single parts and short production runs.
Experience machining flanges, rings, shafts, bushings, and other metal components will be valued.
Knowledge of conventional milling machines, radial drills, or other machine tools will be valued.
The role
Are you a person with experience in manual machining and do you enjoy working with precision? We are looking to hire a conventional lathe operator to join our production team, dedicated to manufacturing metal parts for the industrial sector.
This is a stable position within a company specialized in metal transformation, where quality, experience, and good workmanship are fundamental.
What you'll do
Machining metal parts primarily using a conventional (manual) lathe.
Preparing the machine and selecting the appropriate cutting tools based on the type of material.
Reading mechanical blueprints and technical specifications.
Performing operations such as cylindrical turning, facing, drilling, boring, internal and external threading, grooving, and taper turning.
Manufacturing single parts and short production runs with a high level of precision.

Adjusting tolerances and ensuring the final quality of the product.
Performing basic maintenance on the lathe and keeping the work area clean and organized.
Collaborating with the rest of the production team in the manufacturing of metal components.
What does a conventional lathe operator do?
A conventional lathe operator is a professional specialized in manufacturing and repairing metal parts using a manual lathe. Unlike CNC machining, it is the operator themselves who adjusts the feeds, speeds, and cutting depths, and manually controls the entire machining process.
It is a trade that requires skill, manual dexterity, knowledge of materials, and the ability to produce parts with the exact measurements indicated on the blueprints. Their work is essential for manufacturing precision components, repairing special parts, and carrying out custom jobs.
