Tool & Die Maker:

• Troubleshoot, maintain, and repair dies, die components, and tooling used in the production process. Analyzes specifications, lays out metal stock, and sets up and operations machine tools to make and repair dies.
• Studies specifications such as blueprints, sketches, models, or descriptions, and visualizes product to determine materials required and machines to be used to
   fabricate parts.

• Computes dimensions, plans layout, and determines assembly method and sequence of operations. 
• Measures, marks, and scribes metal stock for machining.
• Sets up and operates machine tools such as lathes, milling machine, shaper, and grinder, to machine parts, and verifies conformance of machined parts to
   specifications.
• Lifts machined parts and positions and secures parts on surface plate or worktable. 
• Smooths flat and contoured surfaces using power grinders and fits and assembles parts together and into assemblies and mechanisms. 
• Verifies dimensions, alignments, and clearances. 
• Heat treats tools or parts. 
• Examines standard or previously used dies, tools, and jigs and fixtures, and recommends design modifications regarding construction and function of part. 
• Troubleshoot tooling analysis and resolve problems to obtain quality level of parts. 
• Follow all safety precautions and company policies to prevent injury to self and others. 

Utilize calipers, micrometers, gauge pins and blocks, various other types of measurement equipment
