Confer with other workers about machine setups and operational specifications.
Install, adjust, and remove dies, synchronizing cams, forging hammers, and stop guides, using overhead cranes or other hoisting devices, and hand tools.
Measure and inspect machined parts to ensure conformance to product specifications.
Position and move metal wires or workpieces through a series of dies that compress and shape stock to form die impressions.
Read work orders or blueprints to determine specified tolerances and sequences of operations for machine setup.
Remove dies from machines when production runs are finished.
Repair, maintain, and replace parts on dies.
Select, align, and bolt positioning fixtures, stops and specified dies to rams and anvils, forging rolls, or presses and hammers.
Set up, operate, or tend presses and forging machines to perform hot or cold forging by flattening, straightening, bending, cutting, piercing, or other operations to taper, shape, or form metal.
Sharpen cutting tools and drill bits, using bench grinders.
Start machines to produce sample workpieces, and observe operations to detect machine malfunctions and to verify that machine setups conform to specifications.
Trim and compress finished forgings to specified tolerances.
Turn handles or knobs to set pressures and depths of ram strokes and to synchronize machine operations.
