Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing worker who processes plastic, rubber, and other plastic materials to specified dimensions using saw cutting machines. Performs tasks such as measuring material dimensions, adjusting machines, and inspecting cut surfaces.
Description
Plastic saw cutting workers operate cutting machines such as band saws and circular saw benches to cut raw materials for plastic and rubber products to specified sizes and shapes. They measure dimensions using calipers or tape measures based on work instructions or drawings, and adjust the machine's blade and feed speed. They perform deburring and surface finishing on cut surfaces to ensure product quality. They also pay attention to safety management, including regular inspections, simple maintenance, blade replacement, and wearing protective gear. As part of line work, they cooperate in teams to support mass production according to production schedules. With experience, they can expand their careers into machine maintenance, quality control, and multi-skilling.
Future Outlook
Even as manufacturing lines become more automated, cutting processes requiring precision still need manual adjustments and experience, so the role of skilled workers is expected to remain. Acquiring multi-skilling and machine maintenance skills will broaden career opportunities.
