CNC machinist
Cutting parts to tolerances most industries never ask for.
Adverts for this work usually name: 5-axis CNC, GD&T.
Who comes into this from somewhere else
Ranked by how much of the job carries over. Our judgement, not a measurement, and it is here to tell you where to start looking.
CNC machinist (5-axis)90% carried over
From Aerospace & defence
Aerospace machining is already at or beyond motorsport tolerance. Usually a straight move.
Nothing standing in the wayCNC machinist (3-axis)72% carried over
From General engineering & subcontract
Setting, tooling and reading a drawing are the job. The step up is axes and tolerance, not trade.
What you would need to add
5-axis CNCTrade skill
Programming and running 5-axis machining centres. The step up from 3-axis that motorsport work usually requires.
GD&TASME / ISO standard
Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. How a drawing states what actually has to be accurate, and by how much.
