A cnc turner is a machine operator who uses computer numerical control (CNC) technology to make metal parts, such as gears and shafts
The cnc turner uses a computer and a machine tool to create precision parts by cutting them out of metal sheets. The cnc turner may also use other machines, such as mills or lathes, to shape metal parts before cutting them out of the sheet metal
You can work for yourself as a cnc turner or you can work for someone else who owns a machine shop where you can learn the trade from other employees. You can also become an independent contractor by running your own business and selling your products directly to customers through an online website or storefront.
