Shift: 3rd Shift, 10:30PM – 7:00AM

A Day in the Life

You arrive to a clean, safety-focused toolroom and start by reviewing work orders for draw-die repairs. You inspect a die with micrometers and gauges, map out the repair plan, and head to the mill and lathe to machine replacement details. Between set-ups, you answer a call from production to troubleshoot a tooling concern at the stamping press, then return to finish grinding and fitting. Before shift-end, you document your work, prepare fixtures for a new product launch, and hand off notes to the next team.
