Where a swaging machine operator can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a swaging machine operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Swaging machine operators set up and tend rotary swaging machines, designed to alter round ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces into their desired shape by first hammering them into a smaller diameter through the compressive force of two or more dies and then tagging them using a rotary swager, a process through which no excess material is lost.
