Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A skilled worker who uses general-purpose lathes or automatic lathes to machine the thread section of nuts by cutting to form screw threads that conform to standards.
Description
Nut threading operators mainly use general-purpose lathes or automatic lathes to precisely cut internal and external threads on nuts. Based on drawings and standards (ISO metric threads, UNC/UNF, etc.), they select appropriate tools (taps and dies) and cutting conditions, and operate machine tools to form threads. After cutting, they measure dimensions and tolerances using calipers or micrometers, inspect and record quality. They also handle tool changes and machine maintenance/preservation to maintain and improve production efficiency and quality.
Future Outlook
While demand for nut threading processing continues in the manufacturing of automobiles and precision machine parts, advancements in automation and CNC require advanced machine operation skills and multi-skilling.
