Who We Are

Arrow Custom Machining Ltd. is an established, family-owned machine shop located in Cambridge, Ontario. For over 45 years, we have provided precision machining services to customers across a variety of industries.

Our work ranges from small, high-volume production components to large, complex custom-machined parts. With a broad range of CNC milling, turning and boring capabilities, we take on challenging work that requires skilled machinists who understand the entire machining process—not just how to operate a machine.

About the Position

We are seeking an experienced Senior CNC Machinist with a strong background in CNC milling and/or turning.

This is a hands-on position for someone who is comfortable working independently in a custom machining setting. You should be capable of reading a drawing, planning and completing a setup, selecting appropriate tooling, proving out a program, making adjustments at the machine, and producing parts that meet the required specifications.

- Select appropriate cutting tools, speeds and feeds for the job.
- Prove out new and existing programs and make adjustments as required.
- Measure and inspect parts using precision measuring equipment.
- Ensure completed parts meet drawing specifications and quality requirements.




- Identify and troubleshoot machining, tooling and setup issues.
- Work independently while collaborating with other machinists and management when required.
- Maintain a clean, organized and safe work area.

What We're Looking For

- Solid CNC milling and/or CNC turning experience.
- Proven ability to independently set up CNC equipment.
- Experience in a custom, low-volume or high-mix machining environment.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and tolerances.
- Strong understanding of machining practices, tooling, workholding, speeds and feeds.
- Experience with precision measuring equipment including micrometers, calipers and bore gauges.
- Ability to edit CNC programs and G-code at the machine.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned jobs.
- Experience with both CNC mills and lathes is a strong asset.
- Experience machining large or complex components is an asset.
