Maintenance - Machinist Tool & Die Maker

Description

• Conduct test runs with completed tools or dies to ensure that parts meet specifications, making adjustments as necessary.
• Inspect finished dies for smoothness, contour conformity, and defects.
• Cut, shape, and trim blanks or blocks to specified lengths or shapes, using power saws, power shears, rules, and hand tools.
• Verify dimensions, alignments, and clearances of finished parts for conformance to specifications, using measuring instruments such as calipers, gauge blocks, micrometers, or dial indicators.
• Select metals to be used from a range of metals and alloys, based on properties such as hardness or heat tolerance.
• Visualize and compute dimensions, sizes, shapes, and tolerances of assemblies, based on specifications.
• Lift, position, and secure machined parts on surface plates or worktables, using hoists, vises, v-blocks, or angle plates.
• Participate in the on-the-job training of apprentices as needed.
• Set pyrometer controls of heat-treating furnaces and feed or place parts, tools, or assemblies into furnaces to harden.
• Measure, mark, and scribe metal or plastic stock to lay out machining, using instruments such as protractors, micrometers, scribes, or rulers.
• Set up and operate drill presses to drill and tap holes in parts for assembly.
• File, grind, shim, and adjust different parts to properly fit them together.
• Maintains technical knowledge by attending educational workshops; reviewing technical publications; establishing personal networks.
• Study blueprints, sketches, models, or specifications to plan sequences of operations for fabricating tools, dies, or assemblies.
• Use computerized maintenance system to retrieve and enter information.
• Maintains continuity among work teams by documenting and communicating actions, irregularities, and continuing needs.
• Observe safe work practices and ensure work does not endanger others.
• Set up and operate conventional or computer numerically controlled machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, or grinders to cut, bore, grind, or otherwise shape parts to prescribed dimensions and finishes.
• Maintains safe and clean working environment by complying with procedures, rules, and regulations.
• Design jigs, fixtures, and templates for use as work aids in the fabrication of parts or products.
• Smooth and polish flat and contoured surfaces of parts or tools, using scrapers, abrasive stones, files, emery cloths, or power grinders.
• Fit and assemble parts to make, repair, or modify dies, jigs, gauges, and tools, using machine tools, hand tools, or welders.

Requirements

• Effectively communicate problems and solutions to resolve mechanical problems.
