TOOL MAKERJOB SUMMARY:A toolmaker is responsible for making precision tools (such as jigs, molds and dies), special guides and holding devices, which are then used in the manufacturing process to make products. For example, a toolmaker might make the tools used on a car assembly line and work with a variety of materials including metals, alloys, plastics and ceramics.A toolmaker’s job doesn’t stop once they’ve produced the tools though; they will then monitor these tools to identify, and implement, any necessary modification or repairs. A toolmaker’s job will also involve using computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines, so a solid background in a variety of technical and IT processes is important.DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:Follow established Safety procedures according to OSHA Standards and Company ProceduresAssembling, fitting and repairing toolsFollowing engineering drawings to measure and mark out the design for the toolUsing machinery such as lathes, presses, milling machines, shears, breaks, and grinders to cut and shape the toolsUsing 2D and 3D computer aided design and manufacturing software such as SolidWorks is a plus.Using precision measurement instruments such as micrometers, gauges and vernier calipers to check the tool’s dimensionsMonitoring the tools used on the manufacturing line to ensure efficient run rates and identify necessary repairs or possible improvementsAttending machine breakdowns to identify the root cause and solve the problemAssisting with tool maintenanceCompiling reports EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:High School Diploma or GED equivalentYears of experience: 2 years of prototype, tooling, or machine building experience in the automotive industry.
