  • Lift workpieces to machines manually or with hoists or cranes.
  • Measure dimensions of finished workpieces to ensure conformance to specifications, using precision measuring instruments, templates, and fixtures.
  • Modify cutting programs to account for problems encountered during operation, and save modified programs.
  • Review program specifications or blueprints to determine and set machine operations and sequencing, finished workpiece dimensions, or numerical control sequences.
  • Stack or load finished items, or place items on conveyor systems.
  • Stop machines to remove finished workpieces or to change tooling, setup, or workpiece placement, according to required machining sequences.

  • Stack finished items for further processing or shipment.
