Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves manufacturing work that finishes the surfaces of metal parts using a grinding disc.
Description
Metal grinding disc workers use grinding discs and buffing discs to polish the surfaces of metal parts and products, performing finishing processes to meet specified dimensions and surface roughness. They select grinding stones, buffs, and abrasives, and adjust operating conditions while carrying out the processing. After processing, they inspect quality using measuring tools such as micrometers and calipers, and perform readjustments as necessary. They often engage in team work on production lines or in manufacturing sites, and are also responsible for machine maintenance inspections and safety and health management.
Future Outlook
Due to advancements in automation and precision in manufacturing, demand for high-precision polishing remains stable, but with the introduction of CNC grinding machines and robots, deepening machine operation skills and process management abilities will become increasingly important.
