# Router Operator
|
|
|
|
Router operators set up and operate multi-spindle routing machines, in order to hollow-out or cut various hard materials such as wood, composites, aluminium, steel, plastics; and others, such as foams. They are also able to read blueprints to determine cutting locations and specific sizes.
|
|
|
|
## Core workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Remove workpieces from machines, and check to ensure that they conform to specifications, using measuring instruments such as microscopes, gauges, calipers, and micrometers.
|
|
2. Observe milling or planing machine operation, and adjust controls to ensure conformance with specified tolerances.
|
|
3. Position and secure workpieces on machines, using holding devices, measuring instruments, hand tools, and hoists.
|
|
4. Study blueprints, layouts, sketches, or work orders to assess workpiece specifications and to determine tooling instructions, tools and materials needed, and sequences of operations.
|
|
5. Move controls to set cutting specifications, to position cutting tools and workpieces in relation to each other, and to start machines.
|
|
6. Compute dimensions, tolerances, and angles of workpieces or machines according to specifications and knowledge of metal properties and shop mathematics.
|
|
7. Verify alignment of workpieces on machines, using measuring instruments such as rules, gauges, or calipers.
|
|
8. Select cutting speeds, feed rates, and depths of cuts, applying knowledge of metal properties and shop mathematics.
