Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Scraping workers carefully scrape the surface of metal parts using hand tools to precisely finish to design dimensions and smoothness.
Description
Scraping workers use hand tools (scrapers and scraping knives) to scrape the surface of metal parts, ensuring dimensions and smoothness match the drawings. They strictly check the scraping amount using measuring instruments such as micrometers and calipers, and also select polishing materials and differentiate the use of grinding stones. They handle an indispensable process before assembly of high-precision parts, paying attention to quality control and safety and health.
Future Outlook
Although some processes will be mechanized with the spread of automatic polishing machines, demand for fine adjustments and hand-finishing of high-precision parts is expected to remain to some extent in the future.
