Good evening to you! I think it's time to consider the question - what does a toolmaker do at a machine-building plant or any other enterprise. There are toolmakers in any more or less large-scale production.

Here perhaps main question which worries you since you are reading this article. In this post, I will tell you what a toolmaker does and what difficulties he faces in doing his job.

Of course, a toolmaker refers more to the repair personnel who serve. And as the song says, their service is both dangerous and difficult. Although there is about the police, but also the locksmith are worthy of these words.

What he does what he does ... yes, he actually repairs fixtures and some types of tools. Yes, exactly the tool, because the tool is not only cutters and drills and up. There is a fairly complex tool, both assembly and cutting, requiring highly qualified to assemble it.

For example, in our production, prefabricated broaches are used, which consist of hard-alloy parts that are mounted on a metal rod and set with a certain accuracy, and this is where a highly qualified toolmaker comes into play.

What does a toolmaker do depending on the category.

In total there are 8 categories of toolmakers. And depending on the category, a toolmaker can perform various jobs from the simplest to the most complex.

Toolmaker 3-4 category.

This specialist ... yes, even though the category is not very large, but the 4-5 category of a toolmaker is already not bad enough. In general, these are guys who must quickly grasp everything on the fly. Much of course depends on the production where they work. Okay what they can do:

• Assembly disassembly of not too complicated mechanisms.
• Preliminary fine-tuning of details.
• Fitting of conical surfaces.
• Installation of mandrels and tools on the machine.
• Replacement of fixtures.
• Replacement of turning cartridges of any diameters.

In general, it’s impossible to describe everything at once, because it largely depends on the production where our toolmaker works.

Toolmaker 6-8 category.

Now this is the guys aerobatics. These locksmiths work wonders. Here in our production, these are truly heroic people. They do everything that needs to be adjusted, assembled, sorted, set with a certain accuracy and much more. They are professional at:

• To sort through complex mechanisms and devices.
• Collect what is not collected
• Repair division and positioning mechanisms.
• Exhibit with micron precision mandrels on the machine.
• Assemble precision cutting tools.
• Fit and lap mating parts with high precision.
• Repair the unrepairable 🙂 .

Well, what can I say, in general, the qualification of a toolmaker does not mean that he is a good specialist. There are also 7th and 8th grade locksmiths with crooked hands, and sometimes vice versa, 4th grade guys do things that make you swing.

Conclusion.

If you want to understand in more detail what does a tool maker do, then you should read about it in ETKS. That's if you didn't know E single T arithmetic To qualifying With right-hander". Everything is described there in the boring bureaucratic language in which I try not to write at all on my blog.

In general, I am opposed to any kind of cramming and memorization of the material. I believe that you should understand the material and try the acquired skills in practice, then you can consider yourself a real one.

That's all for me!

I will be glad to your comments and clicking on the buttons at the bottom of the article.

Bye everyone!
