finished parts for conformance to specifications, using measuring
instruments such as calipers, gauge blocks, micrometers, or dial
indicators. Set up and operate conventional or computer numerically
controlled machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, or grinders
to cut, bore, grind, or otherwise shape parts to prescribed dimensions
and finishes. Visualize and compute dimensions, sizes, shapes, and
tolerances of assemblies, based on specifications. Set pyrometer
controls of heat-treating furnaces and feed or place parts, tools, or
assemblies into furnaces to harden. Develop and design new tools and
dies, using computer-aided design software. Set up and operate drill
presses to drill and tap holes in parts for assembly. Cut, shape, and

and secure machined parts on surface plates or worktables, using hoists,
vises, v-blocks, or angle plates. Select metals to be used from a range
of metals and alloys, based on properties such as hardness or heat
tolerance. Inspect finished dies for smoothness, contour conformity, and
defects. Fit and assemble parts to make, repair, or modify dies, jigs,
gauges, and tools, using machine tools, hand tools, or welders. Study
blueprints, sketches, models, or specifications to plan sequences of
operations for fabricating tools, dies, or assemblies. \*\*\*\*\* OTHER
