Metal Fitter

You read the drawing, cut profiles to length on the band saw, drill them and take off the sharp edges, then assemble the frame on the jig with clamps and tack welds. You check the diagonals and the squareness before the piece goes to the welder, and you fit the hinges and the lock case after painting. At the end of the shift you clean the machines, return the tools to the board and write the finished pieces into the work order. Work is one shift, 07:00-15:00, and overtime is agreed in advance.
