Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves operating a dedicated machine called a woodworking chamfering machine to chamfer the corners of wood for joinery, remove burrs, and improve finishing accuracy.
Description
Woodworking chamfering machine operators use automatic or semi-automatic woodworking machines called chamfering machines in the joinery manufacturing process to chamfer the corners and edges of wooden members, remove burrs, and finish them into uniform surfaces. They handle the entire process, including setting members into the machine, attaching and adjusting blades, operating the machine, measuring dimensions after processing, checking surface quality, and maintaining and inspecting the machine. Using safety devices and protective gear, as well as cleaning and managing the work environment, are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
Stable employment is expected due to demand for wooden joinery in construction, but challenges include balancing skill inheritance with labor-saving efforts. As the introduction of automation machinery progresses, machine maintenance skills will be increasingly emphasized.
