Machines: CNC Lathes (mill exposure a plus) Why This Job Is Worth Considering Wagner Machine, Inc. is a family-owned, veteran-led precision machining shop in Norton, Ohio that's been running since 1957. This is a true job shop — no production lines, no running the same part all shift. You'll set up and run a wide variety of work, from one-off prototypes to short-run batches of 20–50 pieces, on a lathe fleet that ranges from a 12" Mori Seiki up to a 36" Doosan Puma 700, including live-tooling lathes with sub-spindle and Y-axis. Every day brings a different part, a different material, and a new problem to work through. If you'd rather figure things out and take ownership of your work than push buttons on a line, this is a shop where that actually gets noticed.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Set up and operate CNC lathes for a mix of one-off prototypes and short-run batches (typically 20–50 pieces)
- Read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and GD&TSelect tooling, dial in offsets, and build out setups for each new job
- Run live-tooling/multi-axis lathes with sub-spindle and Y-axis capability when the job calls for itTroubleshoot setups and machine issues independently
- Inspect your own work in-process and at completion
- Pick up mill work as needed — milling experience is a plus, not a requirement
Machines, Controls and Software Wagner Machine's lathe department runs a mix of CNC lathes, including a Doosan Puma 700, SMART NL4000, Daewoo Puma 18, Hyundai-Kia SKT-400C, and Mori Seiki SL 25/B 500, plus live-tooling/multi-axis lathes (SMART SL3300YS and SMART NL2000ASY) with sub-spindle and Y-axis for more complex parts. The shop also runs CNC vertical machining centers (Hyundai-Kia VX series, Kitamura 4XD) for the mill side of the work, with programming support available through Mastercam and AutoCAD.What We're Looking For Required:

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
