Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technical job that operates machine tools to perform precise hole drilling processing on metal parts such as mold components and shafts.
Description
Metal tool boring workers use general metalworking machines such as boring machines and honing machines to perform internal hole drilling, enlargement, and finishing processing on mold parts and machine parts. They appropriately set cutting conditions (rotational speed, feed rate), replace cutting tools, and adjust cutting edges to ensure high dimensional accuracy and surface roughness. They also handle drawing interpretation and inspections using measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers), playing a role in quality control.
Future Outlook
Even as automation and labor-saving progress in the manufacturing industry, demand for high-precision machining remains stable, and acquiring skills in NC machines and robot collaboration will increase market value.
