How do they match: Structural Metal Fabricators and Fitters

  • Precision Structural Metal Fitter

  • Preheat workpieces to make them malleable, using hand torches or furnaces.
  • Hammer, chip, and grind workpieces to cut, bend, and straighten metal.
  • Locate and mark workpiece bending and cutting lines, allowing for stock thickness, machine and welding shrinkage, and other component specifications.
  • Remove high spots and cut bevels, using hand files, portable grinders, and cutting torches.
  • Set up and operate fabricating machines, such as brakes, rolls, shears, flame cutters, grinders, and drill presses, to bend, cut, form, punch, drill, or otherwise form and assemble metal components.
  • Straighten warped or bent parts, using sledges, hand torches, straightening presses, or bulldozers.

  • Heat material or workpieces to prepare for or complete production.
  • Lay out parts to prepare for assembly.
  • Operate cutting equipment.
