Set-up and operate above machine tools and metal fabricating machines, to completely and independently perform any operation within their capacity.
Layout, machine fabricate and assemble to exacting tolerances or extremely close dimensions, intricate precision parts and assemblies, sheet metal items and shop tooling devices, including small dies, jigs and fixtures incidental to work being performed.
Work from sketches or verbal instructions in fabricating and assembling completely to exacting tolerances small intricate assemblies, requiring extreme care to insure proper adjustments, clearances, alignments and coordination.
As required, perform hand and honing operations on surfaces, bores and pivots to finest tolerances and surface specifications.
As required, operate power-forming or cutting equipment in working and forming sheet metal stock to desired specifications and characteristics.
In addition to the above duties, perform the following representative duties:
Perform bench work finishing, assembling and fitting. Perform precision grinding operations on cutting tools and parts.
Work from complex detail blueprints, sketches, templates, master models or verbal instructions, and use precision-gauge instruments in projecting and laying out angular and linear dimensions.
Perform rework wherein the operations are essentially the same as required for the work described above.
