Order any special details and/or standards that are required by the W/O or engineering drawing. Check material against W/O for correct quantity, alloy, temper, and for acceptance by Quality Assurance (QA). Check for damage prior to starting job. Develop three-dimensional flat patterns using sheet metal practices and shop mathematics including geometry, trigonometry and layout and lofting methods. Fabricate temporary fixtures to form sheet metal tube or duct parts involving compound curves and/or angles. Check set-up and shop aids per drawing dimension, as required. Develop true views, patterns and/or layout from non-true view. Layout locations on parts for holes, angles, bends, and cutouts from drawings, patterns, or templates, as required. Cut to size, bend, punch, and dimple sheet metal parts and duct parts. Break sharp edges as required. Select drills, reamers, and/or countersinking tools for pilot and full size holes per drawing, W/O, or tool instructions. Drill, spotface, countersink, and tap (if required) holes to correct size using drill motor or drill press. Set countersink to proper depth. Disassemble parts and deburr holes using chip chaser, deburring tools, and files to break sharp edges to prepare for installation of fasteners. Solvent clean surfaces prior to applying sealant or assembling. Apply alodine, primer, sealant, adhesives, or other special finishes as required. Handle and dispose of hazardous material (e.g., paints sealants, solvent) in approved manner. Determine/obtain correct type and size fasteners from storage area. Assemble parts using rivets and bolts with correct tools such as rivet squeeze, lock bolt puller, rivet gun, bucking bar, power screwdriver, or ratchet per engineering requirements. Fit and assemble components using appropriate jigs, fixtures and shop aids per drawing, as required. Perform first part check for conformance to required specifications, as required. Mark parts using rubber stamp, virbo-engraver, steel stamps, identification tape, stencils, and/or tags as required by W/O or specification. Sell completed or in-process checks at appropriate steps in sequence. Rework and/or incorporate changes, as required, to assemblies to meet engineering specifications. Coordinate with engineering to develop solutions to manufacturing problems. Leave oral or written tie-ins for following shifts. Maintain personal and tool certifications as required.
