How many years have you worked setting up and operating CNC lathes and/or Mills, and what types of parts or industries have you worked in?

Which CNC controls have you used (such as Fanuc or Haas), and what tasks were you responsible for at the machine?

How comfortable are you reading blueprints and GD&T symbols, and can you give an example of a tight-tolerance part you’ve worked on?

Walk me through how you would set up a CNC lathe for a new job, including tooling selection and offsets.

What precision measuring tools do you regularly use, and how do you perform in-process inspections during a run?

If a part starts drifting out of tolerance during a run, what steps do you take to correct it?

Have you made edits to CNC programs at the machine, such as adjusting offsets or feeds and speeds? If so, what kind of changes?

Do you have experience with G-code/M-code programming, CAM software, or multi-axis or live-tooling lathes? If yes, please describe.

What routine or preventative maintenance have you performed on CNC lathes, and how do you monitor tool wear?
