We are looking for an individual who can use their mechanical aptitude and attention to detail to become a top-notch rebuilder of VDI tool holders for our CNC lathes. The individual in this role will test rotating tool holders to determine their actual state. If deemed in need of rebuild, they will disassemble the tool, evaluate the internal components and rebuild the tool using precision measuring equipment and tools. This individual will install bearings using proper preload, grease internal components as required, and reassemble the unit according to assembly prints and documents. They will then test the finished assembly to ensure only first quality tools make it back into production. If you have the proper qualifications, and this sounds interesting, we would love to hear from you.
