From September 1990 to October 1999 (9 years 2 months) Quality Manager @ From 1989 to 1991 (2 years) Tool and Die Readiness @ A Tool and die maker must have a broad knowledge of machining operations. In addition, they possess an aptitude for geometry, mathematics, read blueprints, and do precise handwork. I’m able to operate almost any machine tool, including milling machines, lathes, and grinders, as well as hand tools. I have used a wide variety of precision measuring instruments. Working from either a blueprint or designer's specifications, I can perform every step in the process of making a tool, jig, fixture, or die. I can select the material (metals or metal alloys), lay it out, cut it, shape it, hone it to the exact specifications, and assemble the parts if more than one is involved. My work must be precise—sometimes to tolerances (leeway) of one-thousandth of an inch.
