What does a CNC cutter do?

A CNC boring operator is a specialist in machining metal parts using a CNC boring machine. Boring is a precise machining process by which inner or outer surfaces of a product are made to measure very precisely. As a CNC boring engineer, you work on high-quality parts that are often used in sectors such as mechanical engineering, aviation, energy and shipbuilding.

The work usually takes place in a modern workshop or production environment, where you work independently or in a team with advanced machines. You program CNC machines, set them up, perform measurements and check the quality of the final product. Craftsmanship, accuracy and technical insight are essential here.
