Shape precision parts on Haas VMCs in Greenwood, IN
Picture your day: you clock in at our temperature-controlled Greenwood facility, grab your setup sheet, and step up to a Haas 3- or 4-axis vertical machining center. You review the blueprint, tool list, and control settings, build out the tooling, verify fixtures, and run a careful prove-out (with supervisor approval). From there, you’re into production—cutting, drilling, milling, reaming, boring, and broaching both metallic and nonmetallic parts—keeping a close eye on feeds, speeds, and coolant to hold spec. If anything drifts, you diagnose, adjust, and keep the work moving.
We offer 1st or 2nd shift options, a close-knit team that looks out for one another, and real paths to grow your skills and career.

- Load control media—such as tape, card, or disk—into the controller or retrieve preprogrammed instructions from a database.
- Calculate and set machine controls to position the spindle relative to the workpiece and regulate depth of cut, speed, feed, and coolant flow.
