Besides, considering an optimize performance on fixing the bearing into the hole, the hole finished with burnishing process could provide a firm and consistence surface quality. You could refer to Sandy Munro's comments on the motor of Tesla Model S Plaid at 8'28''.

Interference fit

An interference fitting is so called press fit, tight fit or friction fit. It is usually used in fixing the bearing on to a shaft or a hole, a dowel pin into a hole. It may sometimes use to assembly spare parts into a single unit to reduce the raw material and production cost.

TIP: Do you have a false preconceived idea that factory work is very repetitious? Really, CNC operators are often asked to discover the root of a problem and create a creative way to solve it.

So, we’re sharing 12 statements that we’ve heard people in a CNC machine shop career say over and over. If you agree with 8 or more of these, we think a career in machining is likely perfect for you.

The importance of holes on a cnc machined parts is no less than the threads. Parts are usually made to assemble with other ones. When it talks about assembly, the standards tolerances below takes important roles on it. In other words, the relationship between the two mating parts could be determined by "fitting". Generally speaking, there are three kinds of fitting below:

The slide fitting is so called clearance fit or loose mating. The mating parts with a slide fitting could slide in and out without any restriction. A grinding process would be helpful to optimize the surface quality on the mating parts to slide freely between each other.

Many job hunters we’ve talked to aren’t sure about a career in machining. They don’t know about the day-to-day responsibilities, the culture, and the working environment within a CNC machine shop.

Why a career change for these jobseekers? Well, #2 on a long list was “higher pay” at 48% (slightly ahead was “remote work options” at 50%).

Well, how did you score? If you agree with 8 of the 12 statements above, a career in machining would likely have you excited to go to work every morning.

TIP: Take online research one step further. Reach out on their careers page, then see if they put effort into contacting you to talk about open positions.

TIP: Go online and research local CNC machine shops. Start some discussions and listen to what other people think about them, how they treat workers, and how they do business.

So, changing careers isn’t all about money; it’s also about work flexibility, work/life balance, job satisfaction, workplace leadership, a new life philosophy, or working in a field that benefits the world.

A transition fitting is known as a slip or push fit for the mating parts. This kind of fitting is usually required a highly accurate alignment or tolerance between the mating parts. Under a transition fitting, the mating parts could perform a fitting without excess play or movement in the assembly.

TIP: In your research, have you gotten a feel for a CNC machine shop’s culture? Good ones show respect; the best ones feel like family.

TIP: There’s always more to learn in a CNC shop! If you don’t see training information on their website, ask about it when you have a chance.

TIP: Check LinkedIn and see if a CNC machine shop’s president and managers worked their way up several career steps. Some may even have begun as an operator.

According to FlexJobs’ 2023 Spring Work Insights Survey, 58% of employed workers said they’re actively trying to make a career change. That's a huge number!

TIP: Yes, 48% of jobseekers listed “higher pay” as a reason for a career change. The starting pay for a CNC operator can be $18 per hour or more. That wage increases with expertise, experience, taking on difficult parts, and performing setups. Plus, the benefits are top-notch.
