Where a deburring machine operator can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a deburring machine operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Deburring machine operators set up and tend mechanical deburring machines designed to strip metal workpieces of their rough edges, or burrs, by hammering over their surfaces in order to smoothen them or to roll over their edges in case of uneven slits or sheers in order to flatten them into the surface.
Also known as burring bench operator, deburrer, deburring and tooling machine technician, burring wheel operative, burr bench operator, burr bench hand, burring wheel technician, deburr machine operative, burring wheel operator, tooling machine technician, burr tooling operator, deburring and tooling machine operator.
