Summary
Metalworking occupation that manufactures the blade parts of saws. Handles cutting and forming of steel materials, heat treatment, polishing and toothing, and quality inspection.
Description
Saw manufacturing workers cut and form steel materials into specified shapes, adjust hardness through heat treatments such as quenching and annealing, and then use grinding wheels or grinding machines for surface finishing and toothing. They precisely measure dimensions with calipers or micrometers and conduct quality inspections to meet product standards. They work in factory production lines or workshops, requiring machine operation and craftsmanship.
