Book excerpt: TO BUILD EVERYTHING FROM ROBOTS to aircraft, factories all over the world depend on the skilled work of machinists and tool and die makers. Starting with sketches, blueprints, or computer-aided design (CAD) files, machinists set up the machines that make parts for all kinds of products. They then take large pieces of materials like steel, aluminum, plastic, and other materials and feed them into the machines. Once the parts are made, they are filed to meet project specifications. The final step is to check for accuracy and give a final smoothing and polish. Machining work requires absolute accuracy. Measurements for precision metal pieces often need to be within 50 millionths of an inch. That is many times smaller than the diameter of a human hair! To be this precise, machinists need to use high-powered tools like lathes, grinders, lasers, millers, drill presses, and planers. These tools are equipped with extremely sharp cutters made of diamonds, borazon, tungsten carbide, or high speed steel. The cutting is the most hazardous phase of the process. It must be closely monitored while wearing safety goggles, protective clothing, and ear plugs. Many machinists run high-tech machines, such as computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines. A CNC machine is a high-precision tool that follows a coded, programmed instruction to make repeated, accurate movements without a manual operator. It is very efficient for producing a large number of a single part, like common steel bolts. For one-of-a-kind items or small batches of parts like specialized cylinders for aircraft engines, machinists usually use standard, non-computerized machines.Tool and die makers are also machinists, using similar skills for a different role in the production process. The main difference is machinists normally make a single part, while tool and die makers make many parts and often assemble the final product. Toolmakers usually make precision parts, instruments, and tools for cutting and forming metal. They also create measuring devices like gauges. Die makers make metal forms and molds for shaping metal, plastics, ceramics, and composite materials. Machinists, and tool and die makers, need to be skilled with a wide range of machines and techniques. There are no formal educational requirements and a college degree is not required. A high school diploma or equivalent is all that is necessary, along with math skills and problem-solving abilities. Training can be obtained in several different ways - on the job, in an apprenticeship, or at technical colleges. On-the-job training, with or without an apprenticeship, may take several years to complete. A formal training program from a technical college will only take one year, but without any prior experience some additional on-the-job training will be needed.Machinists and tool and die makers work in machine shops and factories. Schedules are generally full time, with some shifts on evenings and weekends to keep production running around the clock. Overtime is common. Machinists earn around $50,000 a year, while tool and die makers earn $70,000 on average. Many machinists like to work overtime because at time-and-a-half or double-time, it can quickly increase a paycheck. If you like making things, want to work with powerful machines, and have a sharp eye for accuracy, a career in machining could be what you are looking for. It has much to offer, including easy entry, job stability, a good work environment, the respect of others in the manufacturing sector, and the opportunity to learn a trade that can last a lifetime.

Book excerpt: The National Occupational Analysis (NOA) has the following objectives: to describe and group the tasks performed by skilled workers; to identify which tasks are performed in every province and territory; to develop instruments for use in the preparation of interprovincial Red Seal examinations and curricula for training leading to the certification of skilled workers; to facilitate the mobility of apprentices and skilled workers in Canada; and, to supply employers, employees, associations, industries, training institutions and governments with analyses of occupations. This analysis covers tasks performed by tool and die makers, defined as workers who design, create, repair and test prototypes and production tools such as dies, cutting tools, jigs, fixtures, gauges, and specialty tools using various metals, alloys and plastics.--Includes text from document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis is directed at the work performed by tool and die makers who set up and operate machines to fabricate and repair custom made tools, prototypes, special tools, dies, and fixtures which require precise dimensions. The analysis identifies tasks and sub-tasks performed by a tool and die maker, arranged in blocks of distinct operations relevant to that occupation. These blocks include workplace safety, planning and preparation, drilling machine operations, lathe operation, milling, sawing and grinding, numerical control, boring, other machining processes, bench work and die development, and metallurgy and materials. For each task, the document outlines the element of skill and knowledge needed to perform the task adequately, identifies any shifts or changes in technology that affect the task, lists tools and equipment required for the task, and provides an indication of whether the task has been validated by each province and territory. The appendix includes a list of tools and equipment used in the occupation, and a tabulation of the percentage of time a worker spends performing each block and task in a given year (by province/territory and for Canada as a whole).
