Summary
Specialized profession that processes metal wire to mass-produce nails used in shoes. Handles everything from machine operation to quality inspection and finishing.
Description
Tack workers (shoe nail manufacturing) set metal wire into machines, perform cold forging, cutting, and grinding to shape nails for shoes. After shaping, they adjust hardness through heat treatment and perform deburring and surface treatment in the finishing process.
