Core Skills & Abilities

  • Confer with other workers about machine setups and operational specifications.

  • Position and move metal wires or workpieces through a series of dies that compress and shape stock to form die impressions.

  • Select, align, and bolt positioning fixtures, stops, and specified dies to rams and anvils, forging rolls, or presses and hammers.

  • Sharpen cutting tools and drill bits, using bench grinders.

  • Trim and compress finished forgings to specified tolerances.

  • Measure and inspect machined parts to ensure conformance to product specifications.

  • Turn handles or knobs to set pressures and depths of ram strokes and to synchronize machine operations.

  • Remove dies from machines when production runs are finished.

  • Repair, maintain, and replace parts on dies.

  • Set up, operate, or tend presses and forging machines to perform hot or cold forging by flattening, straightening, bending, cutting, piercing, or other operations to taper, shape, or form metal.

  • Read work orders or blueprints to determine specified tolerances and sequences of operations for machine setup.

  • Install, adjust, and remove dies, synchronizing cams, forging hammers, and stop guides, using overhead cranes or other hoisting devices, and hand tools.

  • Start machines to produce sample workpieces, and observe operations to detect machine malfunctions and to verify that machine setups conform to specifications.
