Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Axle-splitting woodworkers rotate and process wood using lathes or hand tools to precisely shape and finish shaft-like parts.
Description
Axle-splitting woodworkers use lathes, planes, sandpaper, and other hand tools with wood as raw material to process and finish shaft-shaped parts while maintaining accuracy in shape and dimensions. First, they select wood and perform rough shaping, then rotate it on a lathe to adjust dimensions, and carry out final finishing processes. Inspections using measuring tools (calipers and micrometers), creation of quality records for each product, safe machine operation, and regular maintenance work are also important. Through teamwork and process management within the production line, they support efficient and stable production.
Future Outlook
With the high value-added development of wood products and diversifying needs, the demand for axle-splitting woodworkers with precision processing skills is expected to remain stable and expand. On the other hand, advances in automation and robotization will require advanced skills in machine operation and quality management.
