If you'd like, I can also format this specifically for an Indeed posting, shorten it for job boards, or tailor it to emphasize stronger setup-level machinists instead of operators.
take off master cam programing an programing but keep program minor edits
Got it — here’s the revised version with no Mastercam/programming requirement, but still allowing minor program edits at the control.
