Career - Tool and Die Setter

Tool and Die Setters will study job cards, drawings or other instructions and determine the sequence of machine operation and will set up the cutting or shaping tools or dies needed in machines or presses for precision work. They will measure and mark reference points and fix work pieces, position and fasten cutting tools, and adjust machine trowels using basic hand tools such as spanners, allen keys and screwdrivers. They will adjust the guides, stops and other controls of machines to ensure stock is machined to the sizes required. They will work on trial machines, make adjustments as required, advise or instruct operators and watch the first operations and will periodically check product sizes and report any problems or readjust machines using measuring instruments.
