Four Star Stamping, Hopkins, MN

Tool & Die Maker, September 2005-November 2006

Worked with customers, on phone, verbal, blue prints, to design and develop a reasonable, cost effective, Process Sheet and a hole layout of each job, blank, pierce, form, inspect, ship.

Wrote cost sheet for the time and tooling, for the purchasing department.

Drafted detail drawings of the Tooling needed, then machined, and built it.

Developed unknown sheet metal forms by pencil, a contour form and a emboss tool, by building the form tool first, then measuring and then building the blank tool.

Calculated C=LTS for blank tonnage, and calculated bend allowance
