Working from engineering drawings, toolmakers mark out the design on the raw material usually metal or wood, then cut it to size and shape using a combination of lathes, milling machines, grinders and precision cutting machines.
Some toolmakers specialise as machinist toolmakers, others as toolmaker fitters, and some as tool repairers.
A high proportion of machine tools used in industry are now computer numerically controlled (CNC).
Toolmakers work very closely with CNC operators, and many become machine setters.
The main objective of a machine setter is to effectively set, program and maintain production on CNC machines.
Toolmakers normally work a 39-hour week, Monday to Friday. Overtime and weekend work may be available.
Overalls, protective goggles, earguards and boots are usually worn.
Many companies now aim to train multiskilled craftspeople rather than specialists.
Numbers of toolmakers have reduced due to the growth of computer-controlled machining and precision casting techniques.
With additional training, toolmakers can progress to technician level.Average salaries for experienced toolmakers are between 18,000 and 22,000.
Senior craftspeople can earn up to 25,000. (Permalink)
