CNC Operator and CNC Machinist careers
According to CNC Masters, “CNC machine tools are virtually everywhere across the modern manufacturing industry today. Given the flexibility between the two job titles, the practical difference between a CNC operator career and a CNC machinist career often comes down to work experience and presentation. Some machinists learn CNC programming on the job; some operators pick up the essentials of modern machining from their own years of experience in machine shops and manufacturing floors. An experienced CNC operator with decades of work across industries from aerospace to scientific labs can rightly call himself or herself a CNC machinist.
