Expert Metal Lathe Operator Needed

I have a batch of precision metal parts that must be produced on a lathe to very tight tolerances. All work is on metal stock only—no wood or plastics. The tasks involve three core operations: turning multiple diameters, facing surfaces perfectly square, and cutting both internal and external threads exactly to the drawing specifications. I will provide detailed PDFs and STEP files that call out ±0.02 mm tolerances and surface-finish requirements. You will take the project from raw bar to a fully inspected, production-ready component. That means setting up the machine, choosing the right tooling and inserts, dialling in speed/feed and coolant, running in-process micrometer checks, and completing a final inspection before parts leave your shop. Consistency across the small-to-medium batch size (about 20–30 pieces per drawing) is crucial, as each part must interchange freely after assembly. Deliverables • Finished metal parts that meet every dimension and surface-finish note on the drawings • A simple dimensional inspection report for each batch (PDF or spreadsheet) • Clear photos of your set-up and the final parts for my records Acceptance criteria: every dimension within tolerance, threads pass the appropriate gauges, and the specified Ra surface finish is achieved. Please let me know the model of lathe you’ll be using, its swing capacity, length between centres, and the typical surface finish you achieve on similar steels.
