Machine Tool Setting – I worked in an engine block production machining line and I do tool monitoring, setup and adjustments. Building a CNC Turret Machine with different tooling for a specific job.

Statistical Process Control – as a production machine setter I use SPC charts to monitor the quality of machined products and adjust my settings accordingly.

Maintenance - it is my responsibility as a setter to assist fitters when they conduct maintenance activities on my machine, as much as to gain more experience on my trade as Fitter and Turner.
