metalworking lathe operator

Metalworking lathe operators set up and tend a metalworking lathe manually, which is responsible for cutting metal to its desired size and shape by usage of a gear train or a swapping gear that propels the main lead-screw at a variable speed ratio, thus rotating the metal workpiece on its axis, facilitating the cutting process. They check the lathe equipment for wear and handle the metal workpieces as they have been cut by the lathe.

Also called: lathe scalper operator, tool lathe setter, metal working lathe operator, spinning lathe operator, brake drum operator, tool lathe, metal spinning operator.
