  • Compute layout dimensions, and determine and mark reference points on metal stock or workpieces for further processing, such as welding and assembly.
  • Fit and align fabricated parts to be welded or assembled.
  • Locate center lines and verify template positions, using measuring instruments such as gauge blocks, height gauges, and dial indicators.
  • Mark curves, lines, holes, dimensions, and welding symbols onto workpieces, using scribes, soapstones, punches, and hand drills.

  • Assemble metal or plastic parts or products.
  • Assemble metal structures.
  • Align parts or workpieces to ensure proper assembly.
  • Draw guide lines or markings on materials or workpieces using patterns or other references.
