Occupations | Tends cutoff machine that automatically cuts sample sections of metal pipes for testing, and bevels, faces, and reams ends of pipes: Reviews pipe specifications to ascertain length of pipes and pressure setting of hydraulic press used for testing pipe sections. Positions pipe stops on machine and beveling, facing, and reaming heads, according to pipe length specified, using handtools. Turns knob on hydraulic press to pressure specified. Pushes button controls to divert pipes to cutoff machine, to cut sample sections of each pipe, and to turn each pipe for beveling, facing, and reaming of pipe ends. Positions sample sections of pipes under hydraulic press, pulls lever to crush pipe sections, and examines sections for broken welds. Cuts additional sample sections of pipes not passing test, repeats test, and either accepts or rejects pipes according to test results. Diverts defective pipes for further processing, and notifies supervisor. Removes pipes that become wedged on conveyor, using cables, chains, and hoist. Maintains tally of work done and oils machine as needed. (references) |
| Tends battery of machines that trim small arms cartridge cases, bullet jacket blanks, or artillery shell cases to specified length: Loads small arms cartridge cases or bullet jacket blanks into hopper of automatic machine or positions artillery shell cases by hand in feeding device of trim machine. Turns stop nuts and setscrews, using handtools, to adjust chuck and feed punch to cut blanks to specified length. Starts machine and observes operation of feeding, cutting, and ejection mechanisms to detect malfunction. Extracts jammed pieces, using fingers or wire hook. Examines trimmed pieces for such defects as dents, burrs, or scratches. Verifies conformity to specified dimensions, using fixed gauges. Sharpens cutters on $T3bench grinder.$T1. (references) | |
| Tends battery of automatic machines that cut lead wire into slugs to be swaged into bullets or bullet cores for small arms ammunition: Positions drum of wire at rear of machine and threads wire over pulleys and through guides and pull rollers to cutter. Adjusts stroke of cutoff knife to vary length of slugs, using screwdriver and wrench. Starts machine and observes operation for malfunction. Weighs sample slugs on scales to verify conformance to specifications. Empties and replaces slug catch box. (references) | |
| Tends cutting machine that cuts paper tubing to specified lengths: Mounts mandrel of specified size to chuck of machine. Spaces cutters along supporting shaft, using measuring device and wrenches. Adjusts height to which shaft is raised when pedal is depressed to prevent turning knife blades from cutting into mandrel. Slides long tube over mandrel, depresses pedal to raise blades that cut tube to lengths, and removes pieces from mandrel. May tend machine equipped with saw blade to cut tubes. (references) | |
| Tends machine that cuts rubber rods or bars into pencil erasers: Adjusts guides on machine to specified length and size of rods or bars to be cut. Starts machine and feeds prescribed colored rods or bars manually into device that feeds them to knives which cut them to specified size. Observes machine operation and spot checks length and size of plugs (erasers), using hand gauge to ensure conformity to specifications. (references) | |
