Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that operates a planer miller (planer) to precisely cut flat surfaces and grooves on metal parts.
Description
Planer miller workers operate and manage planer milling machines (planer millers) used for product flat surface machining, processing metal parts that meet the dimensional tolerances and surface roughness specified in the drawings. The work includes reading drawings, securing workpieces to jigs or vises, selecting and installing cutting tools, setting cutting conditions (rotation speed, feed speed), measuring dimensions and surface roughness during machining, tool replacement, and simple machine maintenance. High attention to detail and measurement skills are required, playing an important role in ensuring quality in manufacturing lines.
Future Outlook
While machine tools are advancing in automation and CNC-ization, the demand for high-precision machining remains stable, and maintenance and expansion of the job domain are expected through acquiring CNC skills and more.
